\"\"<\/p>\n

The discrimination facing the LGBTQ community for centuries from governments, religions, community groups, families, and individuals has forced LGBTQ people to form their own networks of allies and resources as a means of social, emotional, and financial support. Manifesting first as secret clubs or societies that shared information amongst members, as visibility grew these networks and clubs became outspoken organizations for LGBTQ rights with self-published newsletters that addressed many of the issues early LGBTQ groups faced. Many of these grassroots publications went on to become nationally recognized and professionally published resources for the LGBTQ community. They covered political activism efforts and the AIDS epidemic, ran ads for LGBTQ-friendly businesses, and created a social network that helped promote the visibility and ensure the safety of members of the community.<\/p>\n

Publications in the exhibit such as the Lesbian Connection<\/em>, the Gayellow Pages<\/em>, and the Lesbian Herstory Archives Newsletter<\/em> represent nationally distributed resources. Others, like Sunset People<\/em>, the Lambda, Inc. <\/em>newsletter, and The Hericane<\/em> newsletter, represent the LGBTQ community in the southeastern United States, a region\u00a0where people’s\u00a0acceptance of the LGBTQ community falls\u00a0behind the national\u00a0average.\u00a0The Alabama Forum<\/em><\/a>, published from 1977-2002 in Birmingham under editor June Holloway, was one of the longest-running news sources for the LBGTQ community in the state of Alabama. These\u00a0resources\u00a0reveal the determination\u00a0of southern LGBTQ communities in the face of adversity and their\u00a0continuing efforts to advocate for\u00a0equal\u00a0rights\u00a0and\u00a0establish a vibrant and safe community.<\/p>\n
