New Paltz Pride Hosts Janis Ian Documentary for Pride Month
The New Paltz Pride Coalition co-hosted a special documentary honoring singer-songwriter Janis Ian’s life at the Rosendale Theatre on June 11 as part of their lineup of Pride Month events. The documentary, Janis Ian: Breaking Silence, is named after her 1993 album where she publicly came out as a lesbian.
New Paltz Pride Coalition is a haven for the LGBTQIA community in New Paltz currently working to create a dedicated center for folks to gather at. Radio Catskill’s Kimberly Izar spoke with Eve Papp, Co-Founder and Board President of the New Paltz Pride Coalition, about what they have lined up for June and why creating safe spaces is more important than ever.
