Tuesday, June 23 (7-8:30 p.m.) Ohio is So Gay! Trivia Night – Ohio’s LGBTQ+ history exhibits the classic components of a Hollywood blockbuster: heroes, villains, epic crowd scenes, meet-cutes, and a soundtrack to end all soundtracks. This interactive trivia extravaganza will test your knowledge of the past 50 years of Ohio’s LGBTQ+ activism from mustache-twirling, dastardly state senators to heroic 19-year-olds to how a blade of grass almost caused the arrest of a cadre of protestors. Join us online and learn a heck of a lot about our LGBTQ+ history in the process!
