After a decade of searching, the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society has found a San Francisco location for the first ever LGBT History Museum in the United States. The Museum opening marks the 25th Anniversary of the Society and will feature two opening exhibits: Our Vast Queer Past: Celebrating GLBT History,” curated by historians Gerard Koskovich, Don Romesburg and Amy Sueyoshi; and in the front gallery, “Great Collections of the GLBT Historical Society Archives.”
We have written several times about the importance of history and about preserving and reflecting on our past. The opening of this museum is an important moment in our movement. If we don’t do the hard work of educating younger generations on past struggles, victories, and personal stories, we allow someone else to revise our history. We have our own stories to tell, remember, and cherish:
“Telling our stories transforms our lives and our society and takes us out of the margins,” said Don Romesburg, a curator and assistant professor of Sonoma State University‘s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies. “The museum is at the heart of that project.”
This is a great step for our community.
Talk About Equality 
As one of the curators of “Our Vast Queer Past,” let me thank you for this insightful post. Your remarks on the importance of preserving our history and telling our stories very much reflect the spirit which we brought to creating the GLBT History Museum.
