LGB Heritage

The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.

—Armistead Maupin

For many LGB groups, preserving and interpreting their past has been an important part of building communities and mutual support. Because of their efforts, we can find LGB histories across the United States—from private residences, hotels, bars, and government agencies to hospitals, parks, and community centers. From the mujerado of the Acoma and Laguna tribes to the drag queens of the Stonewall riots, discover their stories in our nation’s parks, homes, and historic sites.
