From the late ‘60s and the early ‘70s to the present day, you have a communication, if not migration of people, across geographic lines. Īccording to Gonzaba, each t-shirt tells a story in relationship to specific historical and social locations: “By looking at these diverse shirts, the collections often don’t necessarily deal with the communities that they were a part of and so one of my arguments is how interconnected LGBT communities are during the time they were wearing these t-shirts. The project uses an everyday item, the t-shirt, to uncover and make available often unknown narratives regarding LGBT history. The Wearing Gay History website includes material culture from the past 40 years gathered from archives across the United States. He is a contributor to OutHistory, a blog that aims to explore LGBT history. Gonzaba is a member of the Board of Directors of the Rainbow History Project, which aims to collect and preserve LGBT history in the Washington, DC area. Eric Nolan Gonzaba, Founder and Director of Wearing Gay History, is currently a doctoral student in American history at George Mason University studying 1970s-1980s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) nightlife in the Mid-Atlantic.
