ABSTRACT
FE W, I F A N Y, M U S E U M S adequately represent the lesbians and gay men they serve, and most fail to identify their contributions to society. One of the reasons for this exclusion is institutional homophobia. This article will look at some examples of positive representation within exhibitions, the diffi culties faced by curators in achieving this, and public reaction to displays. It will focus on a method of collecting material from lesbians and gay men that gives them control over their representation.
