## Resource

Tonight in New Orleans, the Crescent City Leathermen gather at the UpStairs Lounge site to honor the 32 lives lost in the 1973 arson attack — the deadliest LGBTQ+ massacre in U.S. history until Pulse. As the French Quarter remembers this dark day, the ceremony underscores resilience, remembrance, and the enduring fight for justice and visibility.
