COLAGE: People with a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Queer Parent will host the Voices Raised! Leadership Summit—the first-ever conference specifically for people of color who have LGBTQ parents—May 27-30 in Oakland, Calif.
“Voices Raised is essential because it is the only space where I don’t have to chose between my identities as a Chicana and daughter of gay fathers. I don’t have to chose between gay marriage or immigration issues because other COLAGErs of color understand that both issues are central to my family,” said Heliana Maria Ramirez.
Author Rebecca Walker, named by Time Magazine as one of the 50 most influential leaders of her generation, will be a special guest speaker and workshop presenter.
