DENVER – On June 4, the first Saturday of Pride Month, History Colorado’s first LGBTQ+ themed exhibit “Rainbows and Revolutions” will open to the public.
“Our history goes back further, but the last 50 years is when we became really visible, especially since the Stonewall Uprising, which was June 28, 1969,” said Aaron Marcus, Gill Foundation associate curator of LGBTQ History at History Colorado.“In 1975, a woman in Boulder issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples because she did not see why she couldn't within the actual legal verbiage. It didn't say anything that indicated she couldn't, so she did.
“In the exhibits, I have a lot of artifacts that I brought in for that, and it's very important. Amendment 2, because it laid the foundation for a lot of Supreme Court decisions. Even marriage equality refers back to Amendment 2,” Marcus said. “I was fired from a job when they found out I was gay in the 90s, in 1995. So that was very personal to me.”
