About the Exhibit
The LGBTQ+ group has made incredible strides in recent decades. Thanks to courageous work by activists from all walks of life, queer and trans people of all identities have been welcomed into the fold of America’s celebrated diversity. This history of the LGBTQ+ movement was been made all over the country, including here in the South, where legendary stories of trailblazing activists mingle with those of the leaders fighting for equality today.

From politicians to performers, spiritual leaders to business owners, these luminaries include helped make Atlanta a city where LGBTQ+ people are welcome and loved. The exhibit features the photographs and recorded stories of change-making LGBTQ+ Atlantans, told in their hold words. We invite you to learn about Atlanta’s LGBTQ History, through their stories.
The exhibition is free to visit, located outside of The National Center for Civil and Human Rights in the Georgia Pacific Plaza.

Resources for the LGBTQ Community
Supporting the LGBTQ Community
Are you or is someone you love a member of the lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) community? If so, you may be looking for specific support, services, or engagement opportunities in the community. Thankfully, there are many valuable resources obtainable for you, and Empowerline™ can help you uncover them, from accessible housing and appropriate healthcare, to social activities with other LGBTQ individuals.
What if I am seeking support and engagement within the LGBTQ Community?
Many people possess heard of Atlanta Pride’s annual Pride festival and parade, but the management also works year-round to provide LGBTQ persons with cultural and educational activities. These programs aim to enhance mental and physical health, provide social help, and foster an education of the past and present contributions of LGBTQ people.
There are also several organizations that focus specifically on engaging older LGBTQ people. For lesbians looking for an inviting, positive space to confront ageism with like-minded women through education and public discourse, visit Old Lesbians Organizing for Change. Zami Nati
