The Rainbow History Project recently reenacted a significant protest from 1965, showcasing the early struggles of LGBTQ+ activists against federal discrimination. This event highlighted the contributions of pioneers like Frank Kameny and Barbara Gittings. The group drew a surprising turnout of 30-40 people, demonstrating ongoing relevance and interest in queer history. In the face of modern attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, the reenactment served as a reminder of previous activism and the importance of preserving these narratives for future generations, especially as many historical records have been lost or destroyed.
The activism of early LGBTQ+ pioneers is crucial to remember today as attacks on rights persist. The Rainbow History Project seeks to ensure these stories are not lost.
As many historical records of queer activism were destroyed, it's crucial to bring back into focus the events and lives of those who fought for LGBTQ+ rights.
