For many outside the acronym, the letters LGBTQ+ represent a single, unified monolith. But within the rainbow, there is a spectrum of histories, struggles, and triumphs.

Before the mid-20th century, underground bars and cafes served as the only safe havens for the entire spectrum of queer people. The turning point of the modern movement—the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City—was catalyzed largely by transgender women of colour, drag queens, and butch lesbians. Figures like Marsha P.
