Learning for Justice: Supporting LGBTQ+ Rights and Inclusion

hreusa's avatar by Leave a comment


October is LGBTQ+ History Month. LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but LGBTQ+ history, which is an integral part of the history of the United States, has often been ignored or erased. We offer this updated resource page for learning and teaching about the contributions of LGBTQ+ people, including articles, guides, posters, webinars and more.

Our 13-episode podcast series, Queer America, is devoted to this understudied history. Join hosts Leila Rupp and John D’Emilio on a journey that spans from Harlem to the Frontier West, revealing stories of LGBTQ+ life we should have learned in school.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
