Intergenerational Conversations

THE LAVENDER EFFECT© invites educators and student groups to have intergenerational conversations with pioneers who lived the arc of LGBTQ+ history. Engage in an intergenerational discussion about the fight for equality in Southern California, and beyond. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the experiences, relationships, choices, sacrifices, and victories of LGBTQ+ Elders.
