Upcoming events

Here we list events of interest to our broader 2SLGBTQIA+ community. These include organizations that support 2SLGBTQIA+ seniors, but for whom that inclusion is not their main focus. 🙂

Once Upon A Time: Queer Tales Told 🏳️‍🌈

In Our Day Queer Storytelling Event – July 30th

The In Our Day Collective showcases the lives, stories, and lived experiences of older 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

By sharing and honoring our collective Queer heritage (our losses and our resilience), we learn from the past, unleash our knowledge, and remember for the future.
