Description
In recent years there have been efforts to preserve, research, and celebrate San Francisco's LGBTQ history using a variety of approaches that deviate from standard preservation practice. From adopting a citywide historic context statement, to establishing the Ringold Alley Artwalk, and creating a LGBTQ Cultural Heritage Strategy, San Francisco is getting creative in incorporating the rainbow layer within its history. This session will explore the more tangible aspects of San Francisco's LGBTQ history but will also examine how the more ephemeral aspects of history are being interpreted.
