Part 1 of a 3-Part Queer Storytelling Series

Join us for Queer Storytelling Hour, an inspiring evening celebrating the richness and resilience of LGBTQ+ voices. This event marks the beginning of a three-part series designed to uplift and preserve queer stories that are shared in our own words, through our own lenses.

In Part 1, we’ll hear powerful excerpts from LGBTQ+ authors, sharing personal stories that explore identity, joy, struggle, and community. Gather with us in the gallery space at Stonewall Columbus for an evening of connection, reflection, and storytelling.

• Part 1: Queer Storytelling Hour – A live reading event showcasing the voices of LGBTQ+ writers. Hear stories that reflect the diverse experiences within our community.
• Part 2: Writing Workshop – Come back for a hands-on storytelling workshop led by the Ohio Writers’ Association. Learn how to craft a compelling narrative and start writing your own story.

Queer stories are powerful. They help us connect across generations, preserve our histories, and inspire future storytellers. This series is a part of Stonewall Columbus’ ongoing commitment to uplifting LGBTQ+ voices and fostering a space where community and creativity meet.
