Gay PioneersIt's easy to forget that it was only forty years ago when some progressive individuals dared to come out of the closet and march through the streets calling for gay rights. Their brave first steps inspired a movement. In Gay Pioneers, we hear from two of the leaders of this revolution. |
Polar PioneersThe stark, icy landscape of Antarctica has captured the imagination of explorers for hundreds of years. IN THE LIFE features two people - Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen - who shatter the notion that women are too fragile to endure polar exploration. |
Making HerstoryHidden in an old brownstone in Brooklyn is a rare collection of once forgotten lesbian histories. The volunteer caretakers of this archive have gathered rich and diverse stories from the lesbian community. IN THE LIFE documented this unique endeavor. |
A Friend & Hero: Mychal JudgeMychal Judge was known for his strong handshake, Irish charm, and uncanny ability to connect with people. On the morning of September 11, 2001, he raced to the twin towers to be with the men he considered his brothers, the firefighters of New York City. On the eve of the fifth anniversary of this tragedy, IN THE LIFE pays tribute to this extraordinary priest. |
Art In The Age of AIDSIt's been 25 years since HIV/AIDS began to devastate the gay community in the United States. This disease has had a profound impact on artists, inspiring some extraordinary work that reveals the collective experiences of loss, fear, and rage. In the early years of the crisis, many artists were dying and their work was sometimes lost forever. Five years ago, IN THE LIFE featured an organization called "The Estate Project" that preserves these historic expressions of an epidemic. |
