As LGBTQ+ rights face renewed challenges, the film highlights a generation that came of age without basic legal protections. Residents draw on a lifetime of resilience, reflecting on surviving the AIDS crisis, fighting for same-sex marriage, and coming out as transgender. Located in a former public school in Boston’s Hyde Park, The Pryde is both a refuge and a target—a place where community becomes a powerful force in the ongoing fight for civil rights and equality. Our Bodies Ourselves executive director [Amy Agigian](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/people/amy-agigian-phd) and Ford Hall Forum director Susan Spurlock welcomed an in-person and remote audience to watch the film at Suffolk University's historic Modern Theatre on May 4, 2026. Isabelle Thibault (director of programs and services, LGBTQ Senior Housing, Inc.) introduced "Living in Pryde." After the screening, Pascale Florestal led a panel including Pryde residents Eddie Whitman, Shirley Riga, and Thea Iberall, reflecting on their experiences of coming out, Boston's queer culture, and what it is like to live in the Pryde community. Then Stephanie Lyden and Rob Tokanel of GBH joined the conversation to relate what brought them to make the film. The program concluded with audience discussion about how to build community and advice for the younger queer generation. ![Screenshot Living in Pryde](data:image/png;base64,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) [Watch the post-film discussion](https://www.wgbh.org/forum-network/lectures/living-in-pryde) ![](/assets/img/monogram.webp)### *Why You Can* **Trust Us** - We rigorously evaluate all content - We embrace a reproductive justice framework - We don’t accept ads or sell products - We reject funding from the pharmaceutical industry - We counter misinformation and disinformation - We address the social, political, and economic factors that affect health and sexuality [read more](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/why-you-can-trust-us) Share [](javascript:void();)[](javascript:void();)[](javascript:void();)[](javascript:void();) ##### More to Explore [ResourcesRead ## Affordable Housing Initiative for LGBTQ+ Older Adults This site includes a resource library for housing for LGBTQ+ older adults and access to various reports on LGBTQ+ aging. ![cottonbro-studio-6929471](data:image/png;base64,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) This site includes a resource library for housing for LGBTQ+ older adults and access to various reports on LGBTQ+ aging.](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/health-info/affordable-housing-initiative-for-lgbtq-elders) [ResourcesListen ## On the Road: Adventures in Aging After the death of her longtime partner, Laura Barr took to the road.
