A lot of brands are telling the history of LGBTQ rights during Pride Month. However, a few of them want to walk people through it.

To commemorate next week’s 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City’s Greenwich Village, BMW and P&G are sponsoring a 5,000-square-foot experience focused on telling the story of what it was like to be gay in New York in the 1940s and subsequent decades. The event, “Queer City: A CNN Experience,” includes stories of people who were both public and private about their lives then and the struggles they went through along the way.
