Join in for an edit-a-thon focused on adding LGBTQ+ history and culture from Minnesota and the Midwest to Wikipedia. Together, we will highlight people, places, and events that have often been left out of history and work to make it more complete.
Wikipedia reflects the people who edit it, and not everyone has had equal time, access, or confidence to contribute. That means many queer stories are still missing. These gaps do not mean the history did not happen. It means it has not been written yet. This event is a chance to change it!
