Mission
The American LGBTQ+ Museum preserves, investigates, and celebrates the dynamic histories and cultures of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, as well as those of the emergent and adjacent identities among our communities. Using exhibitions and programs, we seek to advance LGBTQ+ equality through the lens of social justice movements, including, but not limited to, race, gender, class, immigration, and disability. We envision a world in which all people work toward and experience the joy of liberation.
“LGBTQ+ history is especially urgent because our communities have emerged from denial, repression, and invisibility into acceptance, pride and full societal participation. This Museum helps forge the future by documenting our past.”
- Urvashi Vaid, Attorney, Writer, Activist Founding Board Member, American LGBTQ+ Museum
We welcome everyone who shares our values of Justice, Intersectionality, Honesty and Transparency, Fearlessness, Collaboration, and Joy.
