KY3 Staff, KY3; Springfield library creates archive documenting LGBTQ community’s role in local history
"In honor of Pride Month, local history and genealogy staff at the Springfield-Greene County Library have started creating an archive of the LGBTQ community’s role in Springfield history.
The staff describes the archive as incomplete, pointing to the historical erasure of the community’s contributions.
Library staff says people of various gender identities and sexual orientations have existed for a long time. But intolerance, fear for one’s life, and legal persecution have resulted in their stories going unheard or being lost over time.
The archive details some of the stories that have survived."
