Tamalpais High School GSA Roundtable |
Collection |
Oral History |
Scope & Content |
In this roundtable-style interview, current students and members of Tamalpais High School’s Gender Sexuality Alliance share their experiences and perspectives on growing up queer in Mill Valley and Marin County. They discuss the difficulty of ‘coming out’ as a process that continues beyond any one single moment and the strength that the LGBTQ+ community brings them all. Even at a time and place when queer representation appears more visible than ever, the GSA members confront the surging wave of anti-gay and anti-trans sentiment growing around us. Undeterred by the rising opposition, though, these young folk share optimistic thoughts on the power of activism to provide safe spaces for themselves and each other. This oral history recording provides an incredible look into the next generation of worldmakers as they consider both their own personal journeys and how they can support a brighter future. |
