Today's climate is a call for LGBTQ+ older adults to use their voices and for intergenerational audiences to better understand their histories. We will explore personal triumphs and the overcoming of obstacles that experienced LGBTQ+ folks have faced in their lives. Viewers and participants will draw historical connections and be able to reflect on the takeaways of these in-depth and intimate conversations with LGBTQ+ older adults of color. - Paul Glass, Founding EOC Member
