Yesterday, I was proud to speak alongside Mayor Gorton at the opening of the @faulknermorgan.bsky.social’s Queer, Here, & Everywhere Exhibit at the Lexington Public Library.
As a lifelong lover of stories, libraries, and the city I call home, it was a deeply moving moment for me. 🧵👇

Happy Derby Weekend! 🐎 While extravagant hats have become synonymous with the event, none, however, are quite as show-stopping as Robert Morgan's "Pegasus." Made in 2004, this hat is created in the same assemblage style as Morgan's other sculptures/

We say engine and motor interchangeably, but did you know that they are not the same?
The main difference is an Engine runs on combustion, while a motor runs on electricity. Engines contain their own fuel source to create motion, while a motor draws on an external source.

Check out Bill Petrie's colorful depiction of The Bungalow, a bar and restaurant on North Mill Street in Lexington, KY! 🎨 The Bungalow operated from the 1970s into the 1980s and drew a mixed crowd of lawyers, politicians, and LGBTQ patrons. 🏳️🌈 #LGBTQHistory

With spring in the air, we thought we would share these images from a lesbian get-together in Lexington, likely late 1980s or early 1990s! ☀️🍃🎶 The gathering included music with Reel World String Band (and others)! Images from the collection of Laura Kaplan. #LGBTQHistory #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1990, Angela Martin compiled "Esmerelda’s Anthology," a collection of literature by Lexington Lesbians. The anthology contains eleven pieces of writing from seven local lesbian women and was premiered during Lexington's Pride Week 1990! #LGBTQHistory #WomensHistoryMonth

In 1970, Marjorie Jones and Tracey Knight held their wedding at The Living Room Bar—after being denied a marriage license in Louisville. They were the first lesbian couple in the country to sue for a marriage license. Their case went to trial—Jones v. Hallahan—in 1971, gaining national attention.
