Queer, Here, & Everywhere: The Roots of Kentucky’s LGBTQ History is the first comprehensive exhibition of Lexington’s LGBTQ history, showcasing the importance of the queer community in this city

Highlighting 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, this exhibit 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.

The exhibit will be comprehensive yet portable, allowing it to reach diverse audiences across various venues in Lexington and throughout the Commonwealth, including festivals, libraries, schools, and community centers. Moreover, we commit to offering the exhibition to the public free of charge, reflecting our dedication to accessibility and outreach.

This exhibition was made possible by a generous 250Lex Cultural Grant!
