William Edward “Billy” Glover was born September 16, 1932, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He grew up in Bossier City and attended Bossier schools, the high school being four blocks from his home on Monroe Street. He played flute in the band, which traveled over the summers to Lion Club meetings. Glover graduated in 1950 and went to Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he says he “had more fun than learning.” He had been religious throughout high school and most of college, but by the time he left LSU he sought elsewhere for answers to complex issues such regarding race, gender, and sexuality.
  
This exhibit focuses on lesbian theatre history with an emphasis on the story of New York’s WOW Café and Theatre. This exhibit provides a wealth of primary sources from the personal papers of the founders of the theatre. If you have any additional photographs, programs, or other materials about WOW, please let us know or add that information to our database.
+
Glover graduated in 1955 and was immediately drafted into the Army, training at Camp Chafee, Arkansas. He was transferred to Fort Riley, Kansas at the time the 10th Division was being deployed to Germany and the 1st was returning. He later went to Fort Benjamin Harrison for further training, with the understanding that he would go to Germany for his time remaining. When that didn't happen, he got upset and started “acting up,” as he put it. In 1956, he was caught in an alleged sexual encounter with another man and was promptly discharged.

This queer youth exhibit focuses on  activism on college and high school campuses as well as representations of queer youth in the media. This exhibit was researched by Bryn Mawr and Haverford students for a class on the History of Sexuality in America. Topics range from the Gay Straight Alliances to the Gay Liberation Front, to hate crimes perpetrated against at-risk youth in the second half of the twentieth century. If you are a teacher or student at another college or university, please tell us about the history of LGBTQ organizing on your campus.

<h3>[[Colonial America: The Age of Sodomitical Sin]]</h3>
 
 
Curated by Jonathan Ned Katz
 
 
The years from '''1706''' to 1776 are, of course, the founding era of what became the United States, years that historian Jonathan Ned Katz calls "The Age of Sodomitical Sin." In the early years of this era, in these American colonies, the penalty for sodomy was death, and a number of executions are documented.  Why was sodomy, usually conceived of as anal intercourse between men, thought of as treason against the state, and punished so harshly? And what do we know of sexual and intimate relationships between women in these years? This exhibit presents or references all the original documents that Katz collected in his books ''Gay/Lesbian Almanac'' and ''Gay American History'', as well as evidence discovered since those publications.
 
 
 
<h3>[[Transgender]]</h3>
 
 
Curated by XXXXXXXXXX, with the assistance of Tey Meadow
 
 
This exhibit presents documented accounts of people whose ways of acting and dressing, and whose identifications did not conform with the dominant gender and sexual norms of their time. Asking how each of these people perceived and named themselves, and how others responded to them, provides insights into the changing social and historical organization of gender and sexuality through the examination of particular lives.

A collection of forty colorful, amusing postcards dating to the early-twentieth-century reflect that era's popular culture, and its concerns about "masculine" women, "feminine" men, "fairies" and "sissy boys." For viewers today these postcards are entertaining and revealing of an era.
