Why Alice B. Toklas? The first question many people ask about Alice is, why the organization was named after Alice B. Toklas? Alice was chartered in December, 1971, just two years after the Stonewall Riots at a time when there was enormous hostility towards gay people. By 1971, the year Alice was chartered, an average [...] -
