Writing Letters Across Queer Generations

Organizers Gia Love and Adelaide Matthew Dicken will offer writing exercises and an intimate space to facilitate communication with ourselves, our elders, and our youngers during this conversation for LGBTQ communities.

As we honor revolutionary ancestors throughout this Stonewall anniversary year, queer and trans people crave a deeper connection to the histories, perspectives, and wisdoms of their counterparts across generations. Join this conversation to learn more about building the connections and deepening our communication.
