Abraham Angel The top exhibits at DFW museums in 2023 DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer taffet@dallasvoice.com The most exciting museum exhibit for the North Texas LGBTQ community in 2023 was, undoubtedly, Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement that opened in January at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum and ran through June.
A speakers series held in conjunction with the exhibit included a range of presenters, from locals from The Dallas Way talking about LGBTQ history in North Texas to speakers like Mark Segal, publisher of the Philadelphia Gay News, who was actually at Stonewall the day the riots began.
The exhibit explored events that led up to the Stonewall rebellion in New York City and traced developments since then through the U.S.
Supreme Court’s historic 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. One section traced popular culture and how film, television and music changed attitudes and popular opinion of the LGBTQ community.
