Latino GLBT History Project

The Latino GLBT History Project keeps an archive of Washington's Latino LGBTQ+ community, documenting its history.

Jose Gutierrez runs the project, which holds decades of material: photographs, flyers, banners, t-shirts, souvenirs, articles, and documents from groups like ENLACE, NLLGBTO, and LLEGO. It's a real time capsule.

If you're into LGBTQ+ history or Latino heritage, this is a good place to see where those two things meet in Washington. The collection tells stories of the people and movements that shaped the local Latino LGBTQ+ scene. It’s an educational spot, letting you connect with a part of the city's past that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.

Whether you’re researching, part of the community, or just passing through, you can get a look at these materials and narratives. Check their site for how to access the collection, and for any public programs or shows they might have.
