Far out, brother! Sister! We now bring you Tahara, a gender bender who opened doors during the gay liberation revolution. Tahara was part of the Berkeley Gay Liberation Front, the Cockettes, the Angels of Light, and more!
Given the timing, Tahara was one of the first gay liberation activists and performers in history. We're talking Stonewall era—1969.
The Cockettes were a hippie drag performance troupe founded on December 31, 1969. The Angels of Light? A glitter-drenched free theater troupe that carried the revolution forward for years.
Join the madness!
