The Pink and the Blue: Lesbian and Gay Life at Yale and in Connecticut, 1642-2004, by Jonathan Ned Katz
Moving chronologically from early colonial laws to twentieth-century movement activism, this exhibit addresses LGBTQ+ people and politics in Connecticut, focusing especially on Yale University. The exhibit was originally presented in May 2004 with the sponsorship of the Larry Kramer Initiative for Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale; it is now reproduced on OutHistory with no adjustments made to the original contents and only minimal adjustments made to the original design. The original exhibit was curated by Jonathan Ned Katz, with the research assistance of Brad Walkers and the website design work of Andrew Sloat. Republished with the assistance of Zach Greenberg on OutHistory in August 2026.
