Artifact Overview

High Tech Gays (HTGs) began in 1983 as a Silicon Valley-based social club and political action group. In 1984, the group was a co-defendant in a federal court case--High Tech Gays vs. DISCO--arguing that LGBTQ+ people were being denied access clearance to work in military and sensitive tech industries. The court ruled in favor of the High Tech Gays but was later overturned and appealed.
