To close out Pride Month and our queer ghost stories series, today I will be discussing the UpStairs Lounge Arson Attack. This deadly attack was the most deadly attack on a gay bar in the United States until the Pulse Massacre in 2016. This story is horrific, tragic, and graphic but it highlights how far we have come in queer liberation and how much further we have to go still.

Slides:
00. Title slide featuring victims and community members tending to the injured
01. A group shot of regulars that would gather in the bar. Queer people of all races, creeds, and genders.
02. Newspaper clipping from the Times Picayune.
03. I decided to include this. Sadly, this is the body of Reverend Larson.
04. Victims of the attack awaiting medical attention.
05. The interior after the attack.
06. George Matyi, the pianist who died after going back in the burning to attempt to rescue more patrons.
07. Lovers Mitch and Horace who perished in the fire.
