A Search for Acceptance: The Joys and Challenges of Clark County’s LGBTQ+ Community from Early Contact Through Today

Clark County Historical Museum 1511 Main St., Vancouver, WA, United States

From the life and times of Henry Allen through the public “hysteria” over homosexuality in the mid to late 1900s and the tragedy of Nikki Kuhnhausen in 2019, Clark County's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning population has long found themselves the target for criminalization, victimization, and erasure. In this talk, April will look at the history of the LGBTQ+ community in Clark County - both their struggles and their victories.
