This LGBTQ+ History Month, we’re honoring local trailblazers who built visibility, fought for justice, and left a lasting mark on Fresno’s queer history. Their courage shaped the community we celebrate today – and the one we continue to build together.
From grassroots activists to community organizers, these changemakers stood up when it wasn’t easy to be seen or heard. They organized marches, opened safe spaces, and challenged discrimination head-on. As we reflect on their stories, we’re reminded that progress doesn’t happen overnight, it is built by countless acts of bravery, compassion, and persistence. This month, we celebrate their legacy by continuing their work: lifting each other up, advocating for equality, and ensuring Fresno remains a place where everyone can live with pride and authenticity.
