Collection SummaryLGBTQ Voices of Butte is a project conducted by the Butte Public Library to document oral histories of leaders, members, and allies of the LGBTQ community. Oral histories conducted to date in Butte revolve heavily around the history of the mining industry. The goal of this project was to document the experiences of community members working towards advancing equality and societal affirmation of the LGBTQ community in Butte and Montana. Featured prominently in the eight interviews collected include PFLAG, an organization that unites people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning with families, friends, and allies; Butte Aids Support Services (BASS), a Southwestern Montana non-profit created to assist those living with or affected by HIV and AIDS; and the Butte United Congregational Church.
