Like many other minority groups, LGBTQI people have been part of the history of America since the beginning - but for most of that time, they have been hidden from view.  That has begun to change over the last several decades, however, and there are numerous organizations and resources dedicated to researching and preserving the history of gender-nonconforming and sexual minorities.
