Our Mission

The Rainbow Honor Walk honors self-expressed LGBTQ individuals, now deceased, who made significant contributions in their fields. From writers and performers to activists and visionaries, each plaque commemorates pioneers in arts, activism, politics, literature, and culture.

The Rainbow Honor Walk is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to ensuring their stories are visible, remembered, and celebrated by generations to come.
