From the American Revolution to the Present
This entry intends to provide a documented chronology of public references to LGBTQ life in the U.S., from the American Revolution to the present.
In this entry, "public" refers to events which exposed LGBTQ life to general view, as opposed to events in which reference to LGBTQ life remained essentially "private," known only to one, two, or several people. In some cases, whether an event was public or private will be a matter of debate. But in many cases, the distinction will be clear.
This list will include arrest reports, government reports, newspaper reports, publication of books and articles, reviews, trial records, etc., referring to LGBTQ life.
As this list grows it will probably have to be divided into interlinked sections.
