Berkshire Queer History Project Screening

On Tuesday, June 25, 7 p.m. the David M. Hunt Library will host a screening of stories from the Berkshire Stonewall Community Coalition's Queer History Project, in celebration of Pride Month. The Queer History Project aims to paint a more vivid picture of a community deeply interwoven into the Berkshires, but long forced into the margins. Stories shared will include:

Ed Sederbaum, cis gay man and founder of Rainbow Seniors, reviving his Brooklyn accent to appeal to the gents; Belle Fox-Martin, cis lesbian woman and UCC minister, and her surprisingly idyllic coming out; JV Hampton-VanSant, trans femme nonbinary and national entertainer, and the bad movie you must laugh at to not get dumped by her; Ray Garnett, trans bisexual man and Yellow House Books co-owner, on coming from North Carolina and choosing the family business so he could transition without losing his livelihood.

Snacks and beverages will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
