'Upstairs Inferno' Revisits a Dark Moment in LGBT History


"Upstairs Inferno," a new documentary about the biggest anti-gay mass murder in history, promises to be the must-see film of the year.

Via Towleroad:
On June 24, 1973, an arsonist’s blaze killed 29 people in New Orleans’ Upstairs Lounge bar. Another three people died from burns sustained from the fire, making it the largest anti-gay mass murder in our nation’s history. But the tale of the survivors and other people affected by the crime will finally be heard thanks to "Upstairs Inferno," a documentary set for release this year. The horror, disbelief and sadness still lives on, but with it a glimmer of love and the conviction that no one should ever suffer such injustice just because of who they are.
