The Gay Rub is a collaborative project
created and organized by Steven Reigns showcasing a collection of over 150
rubbings from important markers of LGBTQ history.
Documenting historical signs, tombstones, cenotaphs, plaques, and
monuments from around the world, the project seeks to draw attention to the
LGBTQ events and individuals under-represented or underappreciated within
history. The rubbings themselves act as an archive of historic markers, calling
attention to what LGBTQ events and individuals gets recolonized or legitimized
through public commemoration.
