Why is so much of LGBTQ+ history so hard t o find? For generations\, the stories of LGBTQ+ individuals have been inte ntionally suppressed\, making their contributions and lived experiences la rgely \;invisible. This presentation will make the case for why learni ng this history is not just a matter of curiosity\, but a crucial step tow ard empathy and connection. We will highlight key moments and figures that have been overlooked and discuss how understanding these historical narra tives can foster a more complete and accurate view of the human experience . Join us to learn why this "invisible" history is\, in fact\, absolutely essential.
