The Progress Flag Field honors the legacy of Frederic Palmer and Howard Metzger, who created a welcoming space for friends, family, and the LGBTQ+ community. This installation serves as a place for reflection, with each flag representing the diverse identities within the community. It honors those who fought for equality and celebrates unity, resilience, and the importance of safe spaces.

A Closing Ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 12 at 4 pm after the Queer Independence Discussion Panel. We hope you will join us for readings and thoughts from our panelists, Sam Giardina, Dean Massey, and Clare McCarthy.

Sponsor a Flag, Share a Story
Each Progress Flag in our field represents a powerful act of love, remembrance, or hope. Whether you’re celebrating someone’s journey, honoring a life lost, or standing in solidarity with those still seeking acceptance, your sponsorship helps build a visible, vibrant symbol of support. Dedicate your flag with a name, a memory, or a message — every story matters.

On Display June 14-July 12 from dawn to dusk at the Palmer-Warner House. Purchase tickets to tour the house or view our Letters of Unity exhibit here.
