    Lesbian Game Changers Update

    Featured guests at “Celebrating Trailing Lesbians” included (left to right) Mimi Demissew
    and Shane Kennedy, Our Family Coalition; Robin Lowey; activists Crystal Jang and Olga Talamante; and LGBTQ advocate and former NCLR executive director Kate Kendell. Jang, Talamante, and Kendell are featured in the short film series in our Queer History Lesson Plan, an educational resource for high schools.

    “Celebrating Trailblazing Lesbians,” a short film premiere party, was
    hosted by author Robin Lowey on Saturday, November 16, at Manny’s,
    the popular café and meeting space located at 3092 16th Street.

    The evening featured three trailblazing queer women—Kate Kendell,
    Olga Talamante, and Crystal Jang—who have united their diverse communities to foster queer culture and ensure its survival. Their efforts illustrate overcoming the challenges that intersectional identities have and the importance of community building in navigating through these obstacles.

    The event benefited Our Family Coalition and the Lesbian Game
    Changers program, which develops educational resources for lessons on
    LGBTQ+ inclusive history. Included were a panel discussion, networking
    reception, and complimentary copies of the book Lesbian Game Changers.

    Following the event, participants were invited to an afterparty held at
    Mother, a lesbian bar located across the street from Manny’s.
