It is an honor to join NQAPIA for a conversation as they gear up for their Southern Regional Convening. We will be discussing the origins of Badge Of Pride and the upcoming Irving Pride. We will talk queer history and our workshop, “Preserving The Revolution: Queer Storytelling As Activism.”

Notes from Sylvester: Lupe Valdez is a true Texas trailblazer! In 2004, she made history as the first woman, Latina, and openly lesbian Dallas County Sheriff. Exciting news: Lupe has loaned us some personal artifacts for our upcoming exhibit! These pieces witnessed history—now it’s your turn.
