In our collective quest to be more empathetic, understanding, informed people (stay woke) it's always good to remember that the struggles of particular groups of people are not new, even if they're new to you. Take
Casa Susanna, a 1950's hideaway refuge for trans and homosexual men to find safety away from world that was far from kind to them. These
images were found at a flea market in the early 2000's and capture the joyful camaraderie of the residents.
It's not much but it's a healthy reminder of just
how long it's taken for the rights of LGBTQ groups to make it to the mainstream. They aren't the only ones in that situation but at least we're making headway.
