LGBT Rights in the Americas Timeline

The LGBT Political Landmarks in the Americas project is an interactive timeline charting significant events in the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* (LGBT) activism in the Americas and (eventually) around the World. In addition, the timeline will serve as an open access data visualization platform for an extensible digital data collection. With origins in one of the first published works in English focused on the comparative politics of LGBT issues in Latin America, The Politics of Sexuality in Latin America, co-edited by Javier Corrales (Amherst College) and Mario Pecheny (University of Pittsburgh Press. 2010), the LGBT timeline project initiates an important digital resource for future scholarship, teaching, and general information in this area.
