The story of Montgomery County’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) community is one of both struggle and celebration. The topics in this exhibit are primarily drawn from the late twentieth century (1970s-1990s), and focus on three themes: Law and Activism, addressing the struggle for equal rights through a lens of three past events; Health, discussing the county’s response to the AIDS epidemic; and Community Life, exploring how LGBTQ+ people have built community in Montgomery County through festivals, organizations, and businesses.
