Come celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month at the KiOSK with Queer History Boston!
Cambridge is a place where LGBTQ+ people have organized, celebrated, and reimagined the world.
From underground networks to city-wide commissions, from radical publishing collectives to the Northeast’s first Gay-Straight Alliance in a public school, this city has nurtured queer life in ways both ordinary and revolutionary.
This exhibit highlights stories from the last hundred years of Cambridge LGBTQ+ history featuring materials from the archives of Queer History Boston and beyond. It is not a definitive account — no single project could capture the full richness of queer lives here — but it is a dive into the archives, memories, and movements that have shaped this place.
We at QHB know there are always more stories to be told, and we’d love to hear yours.
Reach out at info@queerhistoryboston.org to share your history.
This project was made possible by the vision, care, and labor of our volunteer curators and staff. Deep thanks to Hannah, Joan, Maci, Mark, Matisse, Mik, Oscar, Robin, Toni, and Tony for helping bring this exhibit to life.
