We have decided to spend our semester focusing on the history of the LGBTQ+ community. The stories of the LGBTQ+ community have not been sufficiently recorded in the Central Valley due to its conservative nature. We began our initial research by looking through the special collections available at the Fresno State library. We were shocked to see the lack of recorded history despite the rich LGBTQ+ community in the Tower District. This only further motivated us to contribute to the study of the history of the LGBTQ+ community in Fresno.
