Opening Reception: Sept. 27

Join the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center and Musselman Library on September 27 from 10-11am in the lower level of Musselman Library for light refreshments to celebrate the opening of the traveling exhibit "The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality in Pennsylvania" which will be on display through October 12.

Exhibit: Sept. 27 – Oct. 12, 2022
The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality in Pennsylvania

The Gender and Sexuality Resource Center and Musselman Library are co-hosting The Long Road to LGBTQ+ Equality in Pennsylvania, a traveling exhibit that chronicles the efforts of LGBTQ+ activists in Pennsylvania who have been working for more than five decades to obtain protections from discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations, and education, one municipality at a time.

In 2020 the Gettysburg Borough Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance enacting legal protections, regardless of someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This makes Gettysburg the 63^rd municipality in Pennsylvania to pass LGBTQ+ protections.

This exhibit will be available to view on the lower level of the library from Tuesday, September 27 through Wednesday, October 12, 2022. The welcome reception for the exhibit will be held on the lower level of Musselman Library on September 27 from 10-11:00 am.
