*$3 Bill* celebrates the contributions of LGBTQ+ artists in the last century. From pioneers who explored sexual and gender identity in the first half of the 20th century, through the liberation movements and the horrors of the HIV/AIDS epidemics, to today’s more inclusive and expansive understanding of gender, *$3 Bill* presents a journey of resilience, pride, and beauty. --- In this exhibition, we openly acknowledge the complex history of the word “queer” in our wall text and talk about its reclamation by the LGBTQ+ community. In this context, it is not derogatory, but a word of inclusivity and empowerment. Additionally, “Queer” is gender neutral and includes those who are left out of LGBT identifiers (such as intersex). We use the word with intentionality, awareness, and respect.
