The Pursuit

The Pursuit is a history of LGBTQ+ rights in Philadelphia. It features some of the history of GOAL, and features several past and present GOAL members sharing their story of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community and being part of the police department. The Pursuit is a reflection on the fight for LGBT rights, more than 50 years since protesters gathered in front of Independence Hall and called for an end to discrimination against homosexuals. Contrasting stories from LGBT experiences past and present, a complex and vibrant picture emerges that demonstrates both how far the community has come and how far there is left to go.
