Queer Santa Cruz
Explore the important contributions, impact, and history of the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Cruz County.
This unprecedented collaboration of Monterey and Santa Cruz County LGBTQ+ organizations will feature a series of live and recorded events to celebrate the history, intersectionality, and shared connection within the LGBTQ+ community.
The group decided to host a virtual Pride as a result of the cancelation of in-person Pride celebrations due to COVID19. While many people are at home, the group wanted to provide the LGBTQ+ community with a fun space to connect in pride. The event will include dancing, educational programs about LGBTQ+ history, and other events to celebrate LGBTQ+ history while pushing forward with Pride!
Virtual tour of our history exhibition, Queer Santa Cruz.
Join Education Coordinator, Oscar Paz, as he guides you through the exhibition in an exclusive walkthrough and Q&A. Celebrate and learn more about the important contributions, impact, and history of our local LGBTQ+ community.
