Age apartheid is widespread in the LGBTQ community, resulting in self-segregation by age and ageism, which hinders the transfer of our history from one generation to the next. An awareness and practice of cross-generational interdependency is an important characteristic of a healthy community.
In a rare dialogue between opposite ends of the age continuum, Dr. Don Kilhefner (age 86) and August Bernadicou (age 30) will explore the Gay Liberation revolution ignited by Stonewall and where a (r)evolutionary spirit exists in young queer imagination and political and cultural activism today.
How are queers oppressed in 2024? What differentiates a liberation movement and a civil rights effort? How can we understand the arc and politics of LGBTQ history over the past 75 years in the U.S.? Does a queer agenda exist and what does it sound like? What is meant by elite capture of the LGBTQ community and how is it impacting our young people? How does community organizing in the 1970s compare to organizing by queers in the current age of social media? What strategies exist for intergenerational collaboration?
“(R)evolution and (D)evolution: An Intergenerational Historical Dialogue between Gay and Queer Generations” will take place at One Gallery in West Hollywood on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 3-4:30 p.m. The presentation will include time to dialogue with the audience.
This program is organized by The LGBTQ+ History Project as part of Circa: Queer Histories Festival 2024, presented by One Institute.Age apartheid is widespread in the LGBTQ community, resulting in self-segregation by age and ageism, which hinders the transfer of our history from one generation to the next.
