All too often, homosexual history is ignored or hidden from us by societal strictures of both the past and present. This route is a little attempt to remedy that.
It’s our desire to shed some light on Richmond faces and places that haven’t received the attention they deserve. From leading rocker Sister Rosetta Tharpe to the Mulberry House, the evolution of the local queer insist to the formative days of Hollywood’s first openly homosexual star, William “Billy” Haines, many here should have a higher profile in our collective conscience.
The information included in the map is deeply indebted to the work of others, including Beth Marschak and Alex Lorch, The Valentine, Virginia Department of Historic Resources’ Blake McDonald, Yelyzaveta Shevchenko’s “Reconnaissance Survey of LGBTQ Architectural Resources in the Municipality of Richmond” for DHR’s LGBTQ Heritage Working Group, writer John Musgrove, and Cindy Bray’s “Rainbow Richmond: LGBTQ History of Richmond, VA, 1625-2010.” Marschak and Lorch’s book, “Lesbian and Gay Richmond,” should be required reading for every Richmonder.

Even if it’s just four or five names of Bars or Clubs back in the day.
Anything prior to 1990, although current establishments would be welcome also.

A Look at Richmond’s History
The history of Richmond is a long one – in evidence, Richmond is one of America’s oldest cities. Patrick Henry, a U.S. Founding Father, famously declared “Give me liberty or grant me death” in Richmond at St. John's Church in 1775, a proclamation which eventually led to the Revolutionary War. Richmond also played a central role in the Civil War, serving as the capital of the Confederacy, and the location of the Confederate White House, where Confederate President Jefferson Davis resided. Despite its deep roots and Civil War history, however, today, Richmond has grown into a vibrant, diverse, and forward-thinking municipality that is welcoming to all. It’s home to a wealthy arts and culture scene, many businesses and universities, and plenty to see and do for all.
