Queering Delaware History

Jun 13, 2026

From the colonial era to the present day, LGBTQ+ Delawareans have shaped the history of the First State — even when their stories went untold. Join us in June for Queering Delaware History, a program presented by Carolanne Deal, researcher and contributor to the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs' groundbreaking digital project, LGBTQ+ History of Delaware: We Have Always Been Here.

Drawing on years of research, Carolanne will bring to life the queer people, places, artists, authors, and landmark documents that have left an indelible mark on Delaware history. This engaging program reclaims and celebrates stories that have too often been overlooked — because, as the history shows, we have always been here.
