Queer Life & Legacy

Celebrate queer life and legacy through stories, reflection, chosen family, and an open community conversation about living authentically.
About this Event

In celebration of Pride, join us for an open conversation about life and legacy, and what it means to live authentically. This gathering creates space in Green-Wood’s Modern Chapel for LGBTQ+ people and allies to explore end-of-life topics through the lens of the queer experience.

Together, we'll share stories, reflect on the lives that shaped us, honor those we've lost, and celebrate the joy, resilience, and chosen families that sustain us. This is not a support group or counseling session, but a facilitated community dialogue designed to encourage honest discussion.

Beforehand, take the experience Chamber Queer’s Vibrant Ground, a musical journey through Green-Wood.

Free. Registration required. Please consider a $10 to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.
