Intergenerational Conversations: Ending the Gay Generation Gap

  • The Academy 2166 Market Street San Francisco, CA, 94114 United States (map)

My Life, My Stories is a local non-profit dedicated to building meaningful intergenerational relationships where people of all ages can grow and learn from one another. We’re passionate about creating opportunities for our neighbors to connect and share experiences. Please join us for an evening of conversations and stories!

The LGBTQ community is often referred to as a “family,” however, most LGBTQ interactions tend to be age-segregated. This segregation can be magnified by stereotypes generations hold about one another. The LGBTQ community has also experienced dramatic events that affected generations differently. These differences and societal changes increase the importance of cross-generational connections.

Join us as we explore these topics and more in an effort to end age segregation in our community. Our discussion and storytelling will be co-lead by My Life, My Stories board member, Alan Sable.

ALAN, 79 years old
First generation American, Harvard PhD, first openly gay professor, and retired therapist, Alan specialized in helping young adults dying of AIDS in the 90s.
