4th Annual Queer Elder History Panel

The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project, Gerber/Hart Library & Archives and Dorothy Downstairs are partnering to bring the younger and older generations together in dialogue about queerness over time.

Join us for a panel discussion with Betty Akins, Jay Myers, Jocye Fernandes, and Norma Seledon, four incredible LGBTQ+ elders, moderated by Dialogue Project co-founder Karen Morris and hosted by Gerber/Hart volunteer Kaitlyn Griffith.

The panel will be accompanied by a pop-up display of materials from Gerber/Hart’s LGBTQ+ library & archives and followed by Q&A & mingling. Celebrate Pride in community with our elders at Dorothy!

Doors at 6pm and our panel kicks off at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the event until 11pm.

Tickets are priced on a sliding scale of $15, $20 and $25 and proceeds are shared with our panelists, Gerber/Hart and our lounge. If tickets are available, they will be $25 at the door.
