Improper Bostonians - An LGBTQ+ History of Massachusetts with the History Project
May 21, 2025
On Tuesday, June 10 at 7pm, the Newton Free Library hosts Improper Bostonians. Join The History Project for a presentation and conversation exploring the history of LGBTQ+ people, community, organizing, and change in Massachusetts.
Drawing on sources like court cases, diaries, letters, photographs, videos, oral histories, and more, The History Project will take you through over 400 years of history, from romantic friendships to Boston marriages, the gay liberation front to marriage equality and beyond - all in one hour!
The History Project is Boston's LGBTQ community archives. A 501(c)3 organization founded in 1980 by archivists, activists, and historians, The History Project documents, preserves, and shares LGBTQ+ history.
