STONEWALL CURRENT EXHIBITION

{UN}APOLOGETIC

EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION Friday, Sep 18th | 6:00 PM

Curated by Julio Capo, Jr., Harvey Abrams, and Tom Hooper

We invite you to {Un}Apologetic: Men’s Sports Edition, a new exhibition exploring the history of apologies for homophobia in professional men’s sports.
The exhibition features apologies from athletes including Garrison Hearst, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Pillar, and others, tracing changes in cultural attitudes toward homophobia. Through these stories, the exhibition highlights the role of openly LGBTQ+ athletes and other advocates in demanding inclusion in sports.

The exhibition also asks: Why have apologies for homophobia become more common in recent decades, and what makes an apology meaningful?
