In collaboration with The Generations Project, AARP Oregon presents a monthly virtual social gathering to connect people within the LGBTQ+ community and allies, using writing and discussion prompts. Topics vary from the light and humorous to the personal, allowing participants to find a subject they find easy to write or talk about. 

In honor of LGBT History Month, we’ll hear from Armaan Dode, a Pakistani Desi Trans social media queen and influencer, who will discuss the importance of role models and mentors in our journeys of self-acceptance and authenticity. A coworker’s transition inspired her own choice to finally come out as her true self.

Between each writing period, the group shares and engages in conversation, guided by facilitators from The Generation Project, which cultivates intergenerational community and preserves LGBTQ+ history through oral story sharing. The organization creates spaces and facilitates programs that foster connection across ages, classes, and sexual and gender identities. No writing experience or time commitment is necessary; each session stands alone.
