Description
At Queer Humboldt this spring, us College Corps interns have been working on the Youth-Led Queer Elder Library Archive project, where we lead interviews on the stories of local 2S/LGBTQIA+ older adults and senior citizens, and edit them into interview videos. One of the biggest challenges in the queer community is the generational divide – older 2S/LGBTQIA+ members lose touch with the younger community’s goals, and youths don’t know how to find predecessors or role models. While not as robust as in big cities, the queer community in Humboldt County has a rich history. This project aims to build bridges between the generations, and to record the history and experiences of queer people here.
