The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality in Pennsylvania

Grand Opening: The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality Exhibit

The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality In Pennsylvania is a traveling history exhibit that chronicles the efforts that activists have undertaken in Pennsylvania to achieve full equality for LGBTQ+ people. 

With the lack of success in passing statewide non-discrimination protections, activists have been working for more than five decades to obtain these protections one battle at a time, one municipality at a time. The exhibit uses case studies of several cities and townships to highlight not just the political struggles, but the personal stories as well. This exhibit debuts this year, in the 50th anniversary year of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a pivotal event in the LGBTQ+ movement.

Be part of the grand opening of this new traveling exhibit at the Pennsylvania State Capitol on Wednesday, February 20th at 10:00 AM with a ribbon cutting and press conference in the main rotunda featuring elected officials and pioneers in our LGBTQ+ history.
