Celebration of Gay Journalist's Life

20/06/2025

In the US capital city, Washington DC several local television networks are to celebrate the life of Lou Chibbaro, who has been covering LGBTQIA+ stories and community interest features for half a century.   For over 50 years, Lou Chibbaro Jr. has been the voice behind some of the most powerful stories in LGBTQ+ history. Now, The Mattachine Society and award-winning director Patrick Sammon present Lou’s Legacy: A Reporter’s Life — a short documentary celebrating his remarkable impact on journalism, activism, and the community he’s helped chronicle for decades.

 

Station WETA will broadcast Lou’s Legacy on Saturday, June 21 at 8 p.m. and Monday, June 23 at 9:30 p.m. Maryland Public Television will feature it on June 28 at 10 p.m. People anywhere in the U.S. can livestream the film at WETA.org, PBS.org, the PBS App, and on YouTube TV, Hulu + Live, and Amazon Prime. After the June 21 broadcast, viewers can stream the documentary on-demand on the PBS App, PBS.org, or WETA.org.
