Western New York's first LGBTQ-connected site to be nominated for inclusion in the state and national registers of historic places is right here in Rochester. Todd Union — a student union hall on the University of Rochester campus — has a rich history when it comes to the movement. 'It's just over 50 years ago that the Gay Liberation Front had their first meeting in Todd Union, really organizing the LGBTQ community of Rochester,' says Larry Francer, the associate director of the Landmark Society of Western New York, a Rochester-based regional preservation organization.
