This tour would not have been possible without the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project. Their "groundbreaking work documents historic places connected to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in New York City, from the 17th century to the year 2000", and their interactive map features over 450 sites of LGBTQ+ history across the 5 boroughs.
Below are articles and websites that provided extra contexts and information. Feel free to browse and expand your knowledge of the historical events featured on the tour!
