A Certain Kind of Love
#Stonewall50 #Pride2019 #StonewallOutloud Glenda fell for Lauree at a time when both women felt societal pressure to pursue traditional paths. Though fate interfered with their plans to enjoy a late-in-life reunion, Glenda never forgot what it felt like to be loved by Lauree.
This story is part of our STONEWALL OUTLOUD collection. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in June 1969, StoryCorps is working to preserve the personal histories of members of the LGBTQ community. Our goal is to show gratitude to our elders while creating a vitally important archive of LGBTQ stories – so people can honor experiences like Glenda Elliott’s.
