The Gay American Heroes Memorial is a tribute to the lives of the hundreds of Gay,
Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender victims of hate crimes. Through this traveling memorial,
we will insure that the lives of these heroes will be celebrated and never forgotten.
The multidimensional, mobile Memorial is over 7 feet high and more than 75 feet in length. It
includes the name, age, and geographical information of the hero on a star-shaped plaque
attached to color panels. Separating the six panels are panels of photos corresponding to
the heroes named.
A Welcome Tent will provide visitors with literature, videos, and other educational materials.
It provides an interactive experience, with activities such as submitting names of heroes for
inclusion in the exhibit, the “Adopt-A-Hero” fund-raising drive to help families of victims, and
information on local organizations and resources for the community.

The Gay American Heroes Memorial will travel to LGBT
related events, college campuses, community centers, and most
importantly, any city where a hate crime has occurred. The
Memorial is a powerful way to inspire a dialogue and educate
communities about the serious issues facing LGBT individuals.
