Coming out isn’t just a moment — it’s a story. For National Coming Out Day, join us for Brewing Connections, an intergenerational LGBTQ+ café where our community gathers to share experiences, listen deeply, and reflect on what “coming out” has meant across time.

Inspired by Oral History, a method The History Project uses to preserve and archive LGBTQ+ stories, we’ll spark conversations that honor our past, ground us in the present, and imagine queer futures together. Over coffee, donuts, and fresh fruit, community members of all ages are invited to connect, share, and celebrate the power of living our truths out loud.

☕ Conversation. Community. Coming Out.

Presented by: Ethos; The History Project; and The City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Age Strong Commission, and Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement
