In celebration of Pride Month, we've turned The Dialogue podcast microphone over to three Senior Fellows who join us to discuss a brief history of the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Clara County.

Our guest host for this special episode is Dr. Amor Santiago (Class XV), Vice President of Development and Community Affairs at Project Open Hand.

Joining Amor is Terry Christensen (Class XIV), Professor Emeritus, SJSU; Host and Executive Producer of Valley Politics for CreaTV; and Ken Yeager (Class VI), Former SCC Supervisor; Executive Director, BAYMEC Community Foundation; Creator of QueerSiliconValley.org.

Our three guests delve into key milestones in the LGBTQ+ rights movement locally and beyond, reflect on the road ahead, and preview the culmination of decades of experiences in the new exhibit titled Coming Out: 50 Years of Queer Resistance & Resilience in Silicon Valley, opening June 25th, 2021.
