For this episode, Akua and Sam took a trip over to Brooklyn to visit members of the GRIOT Circle. GRIOT Circle is a community-based, multigenerational organization serving LGBTQ elders of color. Together with GRIOT Circle members we chatted  about sex, love, and dating back in the day and now, and got into the evolutions of the queer community in NYC over the decades.  Specific points of discussion include: The OG Gay nightlife scene, Being gay and Caribbean, The McCarthy Era, the Village, Pride Parade, gay Marriage, finding a mate, speaking with your parents and children about your identity and much more.
