Queer history in Northern Kentucky long predates modern fairness ordinances and national milestones like Stonewall. This program explores LGBTQ life in Covington and Newport before formal protections existed, tracing how queer people built community, visibility, and survival in the region despite criminalization and social erasure.By grounding 25 Faces of Fairness in deeper historical context, the event situates contemporary advocacy within a much longer lineage of queer presence, resistance, and resilience in Northern Kentucky.
The presentation is led by Jake Hogue and serves as a celebration of the release of his forthcoming book, Cincinnati Before Stonewall: The Untold Queer History of the Queen City, releasing May 5th.
