The D.C. History Center just unveiled a new exhibit to celebrate LGBT History Month. But D.C’s queer community hasn’t always felt welcome here. Gay federal employees were forced to stay in the closet as recently as the 1990s. Author Jamie Kirchick is here to share history he uncovered for his book —Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington. Also, find your closest ballot drop box here.
