Event Details
For over 40 years, it was considered the "Largest Gay Mass Murder in U.S. History": On June 24, 1973, an arsonist set fire to the Up Stairs Lounge, ultimately killing 32 people. With interviews from survivors, family/friends of victims and witnesses, "Upstairs Inferno" vividly examines this oft-forgotten story and captures the power of unconditional love and forgiveness in the face of tragedy.
