What you can expect

  • Join a guide on a tour of the history of Chapel Hill's LGBT community. Learn about the town's reputation as the “North Carolina Gay Capital” and its many firsts, including the state's first gay bar, the first pride parade, the first communion held by openly LGBT clergy, and the first openly LGBT elected official in the American South. We discuss the formation of the town's first LGBT rights organisations, gay life in the city, and the challenges brought by the 1980s.

    The tour was written and compiled by a professional historian, utilising various sources from oral interviews to the archives of Chapel Hill's LGBT news magazine, Lambda.
