Welcome to Queerstorical Houston !

 

 

In many communities, local LGBT history has remained largely inaccessible to researchers, educators, and the general public--and even the LGBT community itself because documentation of the "queer" experience in general is often fragmentary and scattered. However, our history DOES exist...be it in old photo albums or scrapbooks, letters and journals, boxes of memorabilia and keepsakes left behind by others, or the tall tales and stories held in the collective community memory. These personal treasures often go unrecognized despite the important community history they inevitably contain. While the Houston ARCH project will have many facets, the overarching goal will be to uncover and preserve the collective community memory so our story can be told.

 

To help put things in perspective, we have been developing a timeline of events.

 

 

 

The Bars

have played an important part in every gayborhood by serving as a meeting place and community focal point.

The Dogpatch 2 was located at 1213 Richmond

 

 

I am using mapbuilder.net to map the locations of all the old bars in Houston as well as other places

of interest to the LGBT community of our town.

 

 

 LXIX began publication in March of 1978

      

 

 

 

The Publications 

  The newsletters, periodicals, and "bar rags" that have circulated

throughout Houston at different times are an integral source of

information. I hope to see the start of a project to index the earliest publications

which would make the history of our community more accessible.
