Historic Timeline of Connecticut’s LGBTQ Community

Throughout history, Connecticut’s LGBTQ population has moved from leading hidden, solitary lives to claiming visible, powerful, valuable, and contributing places in society. The banner timeline explores the history of that experience: stories of oppression and resilience, tragedy and triumph.
The project is a partnership with the Connecticut Historical Society and Central Connecticut State University. A companion digital timeline of Connecticut’s LGBTQ history is also available online at CHS Travelingexhibitions.
