This is a flier that was handed out by the Lavender Information and Library Association to spread the word about a new exhibit coming to the University of Michigan in 1999: “Articfacts and Disclosures: Michigan’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage.” It was the first exhibit of its kind to show off transgender history specific to Michigan.
