Pickets, Protests, and Parades: The History of Gay Event in Washington
The exhibition disrupts the popularly held doctrine that the LGBTQ+ Rights Movement began with the Stonewall Riots in Fresh York. While this pushback to police violence was vital, DC’s LGBTQ+ history of resistance actually predates the Stonewall Riots. RHP recognizes this picket, four years before the Stonewall Riots, where 10 members of the Mattachine Society of Washington marched with signs in front of the Pale House–as the start of DC’s rich queer history.
Step into decades of Homosexual history with our ten bold and immersive Era Cubes. Spanning from to today, each cube brings a defining era of DC.s movement to experience — packed with impressive archival photos, rare historical insights, and vivid portraits of Community Pioneers who led the charge for visibility, justice, and transform. Feel the power of words that sparked revolution. Each era features a Quote Wall showcasing memorable statements from activists, artists, and leaders who shaped DCs Gay history.
