On Saturday, June 6, 2015, Nick sat down with Richard Nelson, formerly of the Connecticut Stonewall Foundation, and Jay Deacon, who was the former pastor of Metropolitan Community Church in Hartford when the events took place in 1978, to talk about his role in getting passage of the City Hartford's ordinance that disallowed discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation as well as race and gender. Passed in 1978, it was the first ordinance of its kind by a city government in the nation.
The full interview is on YouTube as part of the CTLGBT History and Archives Channel.
