In this interview, Stamm reflects upon her experiences navigating her sexuality and gender in her teenage years, as well as the formative impact Rowe Camp had on her identity. Stamm discusses her experiences organzing in Western Mass during her early adulthood, spefically with ACT UP and Queer Nation Western Mass. She reflects on the Lesbian and Gay March, now called Noho Pride, and the importance of inclusion and of avoiding essentialist perspectives.

Critical of separatism and assimilation, Stamm provides insight into places where the Lesbian and Gay Movement in Western Mass could have done better.
