Capital City Pride Speaker Series: Intergenerational Discussion

Everyone has their own story, but what is the experience of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer across different generations? Join us for a panel discussion from members of each generation to discuss the issues of how the generation gap can separate us but also bring us together. Moderator Ramona Wink will lead the conversation allowing panelists to share their experiences and describe the unique challenges they have faced and continue to face as members and allies of the LGBTQ+community.
