Join Enoch Pratt Free Library Librarians and Baltimore Heritage LGBTQ+ History Walking Tour Guides as they present the fascinating and fabulous history of the LGBTQ+ community, going back to the early 1800s.

For as long as there has been a place called Maryland, there have been people whom we would today see as fitting within the LGBTQ+ community. As cities grew in the 19th century, newspapers began to offer tantalizing clues that all was not straight and narrow and that LGBTQ+ people were becoming more visible, finding each other, and building communities.

From trans sailors to lesbian philanthropists, from the West Baltimore drag balls of the Jazz era to the repression and bar raids of the 1950s and 1960s, and ultimately to the beginnings of the current movement toward LGBTQ+ visibility and rights, see how past generations of LGBTQ+ people have shaped the Maryland we live in today.
