A new book about the history of Baltimoreโ€™s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community is set to be released. The community is invited to celebrate on Sept. 28 at the University of Baltimore.

LBGT Baltimore, by Louise Parker Kelley, is a book of photos and recollections of the history of the gay community in Baltimore. Crucial to the project was an archival effort by UBโ€™s Langsdale Library, which gathered and archived materials from Mt. Vernon and the surrounding community.

The release party will be held at the University student centerโ€™s Bogomolny Room (21 Mt. Royal Ave.) Along with a signing by Kelley โ€” who led the Baltimore Justice Campaign โ€” the event will also feature displays of photos and artifacts. The event begins at 7 p.m.

Stephen Babcock is the editor of Technical.ly Baltimore and an editor-at-large of Baltimore Fishbowl.
