Claiming our Rights
The first LGBTQ organization in the United States, Society for Human Rights, was founded in 1924 in Chicago. The group published a newsletter, though all copies of the newsletter were destroyed and its members arrested less than a year later. Still, the seeds for advocacy had been sown.
