Out of the Past: Celebrating LGBT History in San Francisco

Join FlipSide and Project Open Hand at the historic 1874 Old Mint for an evening celebrating the LGBT experience in San Francisco. Enjoy historical talks by community luminaries about Drag Queens, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, the AIDS Quilt and many more stories from our past by the bay. Take a tour of archival displays tracing the history of local organizations and charities that were founded right here in SF and expanded across the world. Feast your eyes on a series of short films and your ears to musical performances throughout the building.

All proceeds from this non-profit event benefit Project Open Hand and the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society.
