About the GLBT Historical Society

Founded in 1985, the GLBT Historical Society is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of LGBTQ public history. The Society’s archives hold one of the largest collections of LGBTQ historic materials ever assembled and connects tens of thousands of people with their history every year through our museum, archives, and public events.

About All the Nights We Got to Dance

All the Nights We Got to Dance is a multimedia site-specific installation that celebrates historical places that have shaped queer nightlife in San Francisco. It’s an homage to the Compton’s Cafeteria Riots, as well as the bars and clubs that have marked the queer and trans history of San Francisco. Many of these special venues have closed due to high rent prices and gentrification, and this piece brings all the spirits, kisses, dances, cruising encounters that took place inside these places. May we all remember all the nights we got to dance here, there, together in the Transgender District of San Francisco.
