Description:

Madeline Davis sits down with Ann Hubbard to discuss her role as a political activist in the gay community. Starting with her involvement in Shades, an organization which Ann says was born out of the desire to integrate the LGBT community, Ann reveals that lingering racism is likely to blame for failed community partnerships. Madeline and Ann also discuss the rocky history of gay bars in Buffalo, leading Ann to disclose how her friendly, confident persona enables her to hold her own in the face of discriminatory policies. Lastly, Ann discusses her faith and the black church and gets to the root of her defiant nature as she recalls the anger that she felt as child when she experienced segregation for the first time.
