A Place for History at Pride Festivals

With the enactment of historic legal victories and generally more open debate about the place of LGBTQI+ people in society, interest in the history of queer movements, persons, places and ideas has exploded over the last decade. Now we see municipalities, museums, nonprofits and corporations seeking to participate in various ways and for various reasons. But Pride starts at home! Every Pride festival and parade can enhance a connection to the past, both the happy and the sad times, and the future of our peoples and movements.
