Living Queer in Indiana: LGBTQ Collection Stories

Happy Pride Month from the Indiana Historical Society. This week we are delving into LGBTQ history in Indiana. Casey and Regan explore the stories of two queer Hoosiers, veteran Gerri Daniels and the Indianapolis icon from the 1980s Kenn E King. You might know him better as Nurse Safe Sexx. We want to thank Gerri and Kenn for telling their stories and allowing us at the Indiana Historical Society to tell them.  

The Indiana Historical Society is always collecting Indiana history and stories. If you have a story that you think would fit within our LGBTQ collecting initiative, please email us at reference@indianahistory.org.
