Greetings!
October is GLBT History Month. In the 1990s, teachers and community leaders believed a month should be
dedicated to the celebration and teaching of GLBT history. They
selected October because public schools are in session and existing
traditions, such as National Coming Out Day (October 11), occur then.
The goals of GLBT History Month are to teach GLBT history, to provide
role models, to build community and to highlight the GLBT community's
important national and international contributions.
The GLCCB, in partnership with Equality Forum, has updated its homepage to display short daily documentaries about GLBT icons. There are 31 icons for 31 days in October. Be sure to visit our homepage each day to learn about a new icon, or visit the GLBT History Month site for any you may have missed.
During the month of October we encourage you to remember and acknowledge people in your life or community who have made a difference to you. Also, reflect on your own coming out story, or provide support for those you may know who have just recently come out or are anywhere in the process.
Happy National Coming Out Day!

Out-rageous Almost Here!
|
 On
Saturday, October 20th, the Walters Art Museum will host Tres Out-rageous: When Life
Imitates Art. This one-of-a-kind event will transform the Sculpture Court and
Ancient World Lobby into a spectacle of color, music and energy. Tres
Out-rageous marks a very special occasion - the 30th anniversary of
the Gay &
Lesbian Community
Center of Baltimore (GLCCB). It will feature unique
visual performances, including Gilded Lily Burlesque and this year's City Paper's Best of Baltimore "Best Drag
Queen," Sabrina White. We will also honor five very special individuals: Lynda Dee, Harvey Schwartz, Gilbert Morrisette, Tia Chambers, and Rik Newton-Treadway.
Join us for tantalizing hors d'oeuvres provided by
Sascha's, special out-rageous drinks, music by DJ Alex
Funk, dancing, and a whole lot of fun. Guests are encouraged to
dress "art-rageously" and create an outfit inspired by their favorite piece or
style of art. (Semi -formal attire is o.k. too) This is definitely one event that you won't want to miss this season!
