Making an invisible history visible
Our groundbreaking work documents historic places connected to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in New York City, from the 17th century to the year 2000, and tells the often untold story of their influence on American history and culture.
Curated Themes
Don’t know where to start? We’ve grouped a small number of historic sites by theme to guide you through NYC’s LGBT history. These tours will rotate throughout the year.
