We are delighted to have begun working with community partners such as Gerber/Hart Library & Archives (the Midwest’s largest LGBQ+ community archives) and Dorothy Downstairs (a Chicago-based lesbian cocktail lounge) to offer public-facing community events that bring LGBTQ+ people together across generations.
Annual Queer Elder Panel Discussion at Dorothy Downstairs
As part of Pride month celebrations in 2023 and 2024, the LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project partnered with Gerber/Hart and Dorothy Downstairs to host a special LGBTQ+ history event featuring a panel discussion with queer elders from the Dialogue Project and Q&A and meet-and-greet sessions with the audience. The event has sold out both years. Read coverage of the event in the Windy City Times here.
Gerber/Hart Fundraising Gala
The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project was honored to be part of Gerber/Hart’s 2024 fundraising gala. An intergenerational pair of participants from the project, Robert and Emma, had a chance to take the stage to speak about their experiences in front of a packed audience.
