"Exhibits like these always remind me that queers have forever been here and that it has taken way too long to get where we are. -Jenna, 2nd yr"
"Thank you for this thoughtful exhibit. During increasingly turbulent times it's especially important to shed light on the journey of the oppressed, marginalized, and 'others'. I'm reminded of the exhausting-- often demoralizing road, and thus I'm keenly cognizant of how much we could lose-- again. Christopher //2004//, 5/3/18"

"This was a very moving exhibit. My wife and I married on September 28, 2016, just over a year after gay marriage was legalized. We shed a few tears when we came to that part of the exhibit. My wife is from Brazil and without being legally married we could not live in the same country."
