Our Mission

Making Queer History (MGH) is a 501(c)(3) charity organization that addresses the absence of substantive, in-depth LGBTQ+-inclusive American history from the public discourse and the classroom.

By sharing the stories of those who helped a despised minority take its rightful place in society as occupied and equal citizens, MGH aims to encourage connection, identity festival, and solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community—and to provide an entry point for both allies and the general widespread to its largely hidden history.

Please sustain MGH’s mission.
