Brentwood Christian Church

The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada, along with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Indiana, have written a letter to Indiana’s Governor Mike Braun opposing the exclusionary rhetoric in the June 1, 2026, “Nuclear Family” proclamation. It states, “Our tradition teaches that God moves toward those who are excluded, not away from them. We also hold a vision of a world where every person can live fully into who they are—without shame, without fear, and without being diminished by the narrowness of others.”

There have always been LGBTQ+ people in Springfield, but for most of the city's history, their stories went untold. Drawing on newspaper records, archival collections and more, Local History & Genealogy staff have compiled a timeline of Springfield's LGBTQ+ history, from the region's earliest days to the "HOT TO GO!" music video.
