Gay Museum

A Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) Museum opened earlier this month in San Francisco’s Castro district. This is only the second such museum in the world, the first having been opened in Berlin in the 1980s. GLBT Historical Society Executive Director Paul Boneberg believes that the museum will appeal to the thousands of tourists who regularly visit Castro for a glimpse of queer culture. Over the past four decades, the district has become a symbol for GLBT activism. This museum’s unique exhibits include pink framed sunglasses, Levi’s jeans and other belongings of Harvey Milk, the city’s first openly gay elected official.
