LGBTQ Richmond, Virginia

Richmond is the capital of Virginia and home to more than 200,000 people. It’s a city with a elongated history, and a bright future, where everyone can find their place and feel at home.

A Look at Richmond’s History

The history of Richmond is a long one – in reality, Richmond is one of America’s oldest cities. Patrick Henry, a U.S. Founding Father, famously declared “Give me liberty or donate me death” in Richmond at St. John's Church in 1775, a proclamation which eventually led to the Revolutionary War. Richmond also played a central role in the Civil War, serving as the capital of the Confederacy, and the location of the Confederate White House, where Confederate President Jefferson Davis resided. Despite its deep roots and Civil War history, however, today, Richmond has grown into a vibrant, diverse, and forward-thinking town that is welcoming to all. It’s home to a wealthy arts and culture scene, many businesses and universities, and plenty to see and do for all.
