Memorials, objects and gravestones collection

---

While having a list of memorials and gravestones at first might seem morbid, it is actually a celebratory collection. These sites memorialise our LGBTIQA+ ancestors, and serve as physical reminders that LGBTIQA+ people have always been here. 

It's also heartening to see that so often, people who were assigned one gender at birth but lived as another gender are in many cases buried under their chosen name. 

It's not only grave sites we have listed, there are also memorials to their lives, their places of work and to the place they have in history. 

And sometimes, objects from LGBTIQA+ people's lives are preserved in museum collections. Actual objects that our LGBTIQA+ ancestors owned and used, and we present these here too.
