LGBTQ culture in Philadelphia

The development of LGBTQ culture in Philadelphia can be traced back to the early 20th century. It exists in current times as a dynamic, diverse, and philanthropically active culture with establishments and events held to promote LGBTQ culture and rights in Philadelphia and beyond.

Philadelphia and its residents have played a significant role in LBGTQ history. The city has 12 historical markers commemorating LGBT events and people, more than any other city in the world, according to local organization Equality Forum.
