Display Hosts: LGBTQ Grant County • Human Rights Alliance Santa Fe
Display Host: LGBTQ Grant County - Since 1994, organizations throughout in New Mexico have hosted 34 Quilt displays featuring 1,190 Quilt sections. One such display in 2014 was hosted by Western New Mexico University, LGBTQ Grant County and Gamma Mu as part of International Latino AIDS Awareness Week. According to news reports the 5-day display drew a large audience to see hand-sewn panels of the Quilt that included names of loved ones from New Mexico who were lost to the disease. The event also helped raise funds to support AIDS-related organizations in the region. This virtual display features some of those blocks honoring lives lost to AIDS from New Mexico.
Display Host: Human Rights Alliance Santa Fe - The mission of the Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance (HRA) is to educate, engage, encourage, and celebrate LGBTQ+ inclusion, pride, and acceptance for all people. The Human Rights Alliance was founded in 1993 in response to the defeat of Senate Bill 91, civil rights legislation for lesbians and gay men. Rallying around the enthusiasm of our grassroots crusade, local activists joined together to create this non-profit organization whose primary goal was to end discrimination of all kinds. HRA seeks to build coalitions with groups who will work for the civil rights of all New Mexicans, to develop outreach programming to support the community and to establish the history of LGBTQ+ community in New Mexico from1870 - 2020. Our organization is proud to host this virtual display which includes panels we hand-selected with the names of loved ones from New Mexico lost to AIDS.
