In this presentation\, we challenge this binary geography of LGBTQ+ identity and communities through a case study of The Quad Cities Project for Pride in Memory\, a local oral history collaboration that seeks to preserve the memories of LGBTQ+ Quad City seniors.\n\nNow entering its 13th year\, the Tea Talks lecture series \;features speakers on a range of topics. The series is sponsored by the \;Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies program.\n URL;VALUE=URI:/about-us/events/2022/tea-talks-pim SUMMARY:Tea Talks: Quad Cities Pride in Memory DTSTART:20221019T212000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
