This group is for all who wish to increase their understanding and appreciation of lgbt history and culture. We’ll be attending gallery exhibits, lectures and talks, films, plays, and readings. All are welcome to join us in celebrating the lgbt community in a stress-free, no-pressure environment.

 

"We have a history, and we have to know it."

"This world is never finished, and the history books are never closed.  It's up to us."

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde
