WHERE QUEER HISTORY BECOMES CULTURAL POWER

At Badge Of Pride, we curate a nationally-significant collection of LGBTQ+ artifacts to reclaim Queer narratives and elevate them as forces for civic and cultural transformation.

 

With over 10,000 objects in our archive spanning generations of struggle and celebration, we move beyond preservation to create bold exhibitions, performances, and programs that shape not only memory—but momentum.

 

This is more than a collection. It’s a movement.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where LGBTQ+ history is understood not as a side note, but as essential to cultural vitality, civic engagement, and global progress.

DEFINING PRIDE

Pride is the embodiment of confidence and self-respect expressed by a group, typically one that has faced social, institutional, and legal marginalization based on their shared identity, culture, and experience. It is an assertion of dignity, visibility, and solidarity in the face of historical oppression and discrimination.

 

This definition is central to all of our work.
