Happy Pride Month.
We’re honoring LGBTQIA+ elders by sharing powerful first-person stories from the brave, everyday people whose lives, courage, and visibility helped shape the world we live in today.
We’ve already kicked off this year’s Honor Our Elders series with Elizabeth Coffey Williams. In her story, Elizabeth reflects on knowing from a young age that she was a girl, the painful estrangement that followed, and the love and acceptance she later found with her siblings.
This year’s series is being shared in partnership with SAGE, GLAAD, OUTWORDS, the American LGBTQ+ Museum, and more.
Throughout June, we’ll be featuring more stories from LGBTQIA+ elders across our channels. These stories are moving, joyful, hard-won, and deeply important. They remind us where we come from, what has been fought for, and why preserving and amplifying these voices matters.
To follow along all month long:
Thank you for being part of this community and for helping us honor the elders whose stories continue to light the way.
With gratitude,
Nathan and the I’m From Driftwood team
