Day 28 of LGBTQ History Month
Silicon Valley is perhaps best known lately for its tech industry. The LGBTQ+ community that lives here was instrumental in building this reputation from the very beginning. High Tech Gays (HTG) was a Silicon Valley LGBTQ social and activist organization that operated from 1983 to 1997. It held monthly business meetings attended by hundreds. Members enjoyed social outings, assisted each other in job searches and some became very active in the LGBTQ rights movement.
