From The Archive: An LGBTQ History of Kentucky

Join Josh Porter, Faulkner Morgan Archive's Assistant Executive Director, as he discusses the roots of Kentucky's LGBTQ History as part of FMA's traveling exhibit Queer, Here, & Everywhere.

Funded with a 250Lex Cultural Grant, the exhibit highlights key moments and figures in Lexington's LGBTQ history, from Sweet Evening Breeze's drag performances in the 1920s to the passage of the Fairness Ordinance in 1999 and celebrates the resilience and contributions of the queer community. By shedding light on these often overlooked narratives, we hope to foster a greater sense of belonging for LGBTQ individuals in Lexington while also promoting understanding and appreciation among the broader population.
