LGBT Quesday Monthly Writing Party

Description: Join this social gathering, known as “LGBT Quesdays,” to mingle and share with LGBTQ+ people and allies of all ages and backgrounds. About the Event   In collaboration with The Generations Project, AARP Oregon presents a monthly virtual social gathering to connect people within the LGBTQ+ community and allies, using writing and discussion prompts. Topics vary from the light and humorous to the personal, allowing participants to find a subject they find easy to write or talk about.   

This month we are celebrating LGBTQ+ Activism Throughout History .  Highlight the contributions of older LGBTQ+ individuals to activism and advocacy throughout history, encouraging participants to share stories and reflections on their own involvement in social movements. 

Between each writing period, the group engages in conversation guided by facilitators from The Generation Project, which cultivates intergenerational community and preserves LGBTQ+ history through oral story sharing. The organization creates spaces and facilitates programs that foster connection across ages, classes, and sexual and gender identities. No writing experience or time commitment is necessary; each session stands alone.   How to Join  You will need to register separately for each session you are interested in attending. Please note that you must be signed in to your AARP.org account or create an account to register for events.
