Presented by the Buffalo-Niagara LBGTQ History Project  

We look forward to checking out this walk 2021. In the meantime, learn more about Buffalo-Niagara LBGTQ History Project here

Based on the groundbreaking history Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold, this 3-mile walking tour will examine the ways lesbians shaped Buffalo’s public spaces from the 1930s through the early 1960s. We will also explore how urban renewal policies affected lesbian space in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for a more confrontational gay rights movement in the 1970s.
