(Alternative Instagram Post #1) Student Won’t Stand for Homophobia
Change has to come from somewhere. Someone has to take those first steps, and sometimes someone else has to keep it going. In May of 1971 at the University of Rochester, one of those “someones” was (pen)named Stephen Lein. Lein’s friends at Eastman brought his attention to the homophobic treatment of students by faculty, and demanded that people take notice. It will take more research to uncover what was happening, but it’s often thanks to people like Stephen Lein that we have the rights we enjoy today. #LGBTQexperiencesUSA #UniversityOfRochester #GayRights #DemandingChange
