Coming Out: 50 Years of Queer Resistance and Resilience in Silicon Valley
ALF Silicon Valley Reception & Exhibit Visit
ALF’s LGBTQ+ Affinity Group invites Senior Fellows, Fellows, and friends to join us for an ice cream reception, discussion, and exhibit visit to learn about the history of LGBTQ+ communities in Silicon Valley.
How are issues of inclusion coming up in your workplace and community? Join us to connect with other leaders and explore how we can learn from and be allied with LGBTQ+ colleagues, employees, neighbors, and family members.
“Coming Out” was created by Senior Fellow Ken Yeager (Class VI), Executive Director, BAYMEC Community Foundation, and former Santa Clara County Supervisor.
About the exhibit:
Coming Out: 50 Years of Queer Resistance and Resilience in Silicon Valley reveals five decades of challenges and joys for the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Clara Valley. From creating and finding community in an area known for its suburban sprawl, to battling HIV/AIDS, to advocating for equal rights, the rich history of Santa Clara Valley’s LGBTQ+ community reflects the greater LGBTQ+ movement in the United States.
