The development of LGBT culture in Philadelphia can be traced back to the early 20th century. It exists in current times as a dynamic and diverse culture with establishments and events held to promote LGBT culture and rights. == History == The Philadelphia LGBT community has roots as far back as the 1930s and '40s. Early gay networks would meet privately at underground house parties and other private venues within Center City, West Philadelphia, and Germantown. The post-WWII Center City area provided plentiful housing and urban anonymity that allowed the LGBT culture to meet hidden from public view. By the 1950s, a jazz, espresso, and beatnik culture was stirring things up around Rittenhouse Square and in coffee houses on Sansom Street, creating a niche for the city's gay community. The LGBT culture developing in Philadelphia invoked the first article published in America that recognizes a city's gay community and political scene titled "The Furtive Fraternity" published in ''Greater Philadelphia''. The article describes political limitations the emerging gay community faced.〔 Gay rights demonstrations were held at Independence Hall from 1965-1969 which marked the start of a new era for Philadelphia gay culture, as well as the district of Washington Square West.〔 The protesters marched on 4 July 1965 and continued for years following. "Reminder Day, " as it was called, was held publicly to acknowledge the inequality of rights for gay men and lesbians under the US Constitution at the time.〔 The LGBT rights movement was gaining speed in Philadelphia along with other LGBT actions prior to the Stonewall riots in New York City four years later.〔
