As we gear up to celebrate pride and progress, we must also pause to remember those who walked before us! Pride exists because their journeys have laid the very foundations on which we now build our movements, communities, and joy.
Join us for a special evening on “Growing up Queer and Trans : Elders Edition”, a conversation with LGBTQ+ elder on what it meant to come of age in a time when acceptance, community, safety or even the vocabulary to navigate their experiences were harder to come by.
What to expect?
- Personal stories of growing up queer or trans in India – moments of struggle, survival, and solidarity.
- Reflections on resilience, self-acceptance, and finding or creating community.
- Public and private milestones that shaped their journeys.
- Insights into how ideas around gender, sexuality, love, and acceptance have evolved.
- Lessons learned, and messages of hope, healing, and strength for the younger generation and those still finding their path.
Honoring our elders is a crucial act of preserving our own history, told through the lived experiences of those who shaped it. Come listen, learn, and witness the generation that dared to live, love, dream and resist !
