Join us for the opening of
Queer, Here, & Everywhere:
The Roots of Kentucky’s LGBTQ History

💚 Queer, Here, & Everywhere Opening Reception
📆 Friday, May 30
🕗 5pm - 8pm (remarks at 6pm)
📍 @ Lexington Public Library, Central Branch

Queer, Here, & Everywhere 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 will celebrate 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.

Queer, Here, & Everywhere will be on display at the library from May 24 - June 26, and will then be on display at the Lexington Pride Festival on June 28.

This exhibition was made possible by a generous 250Lex Cultural Grant! We look forward to celebrating 250 years of Kentucky’s LGBTQ history with you!
