Join us in collecting history and connecting LGBTQ+ people of all ages through storytelling!
Welcome to The Generations Project — where LGBTQ+ history lives, breathes, and connects us all.
We are a storytelling community where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to celebrate LGBTQ+ history through our own voices. By sharing personal stories and lived experiences, we’re revitalizing the oral tradition and building meaningful connections across generations.
Every story told helps preserve our history, honor those who came before us, and inspire those who will follow. Together, we uplift voices that have too often been left out of the narrative — and we make space for joy, resilience, and truth.
Your support helps us continue this vital work: compensating storytellers, hosting live events, and building a digital archive so these stories can be shared with future generations.
What’s Happening Next:
#SaveOurStories
Now more than ever, our community and our stories are at risk!

Ongoing Programs:
LGBT-Quesdays with AARP
Join The Generations Project and national AARP community on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at Noon PST/3 PM EST, for a virtual writing party and social gathering!
Facilitated in collaboration with AARP Oregon, The Generations Project presents a monthly virtual social gathering to connect people within the LGBTQ+ community and allies. Using writing and discussion prompts, we explore topics that vary from light and humorous to personal and profound, allowing participants to find a subject they find easy to write or talk about. No experience is necessary and sharing is optional. We hope to see you there!
What We Do:
Live Storytelling Shows
We bring LGBTQ+ experiences to life and preserve our collective history through the art of storytelling.
Storytelling Workshops
Free and Accessible to All!
We teach the art of storytelling for free and offer honorariums to all our storytellers. You have a story worth sharing! Let us help you find your voice.
Intergenerational Mixers
Mingle with LGBTQ+ People of all ages!
We organize social events and other opportunities for our community to interact and bond across all boundaries of sex, gender and age!
The Genny Awards!
Each year, we bring together our whole community for a red-carpet gala fundraiser awards show extravaganza! In a Grammys style show, our TGP team present the nominations for storytellers from the previous year in categories ranging from “Most Hopeful” to “History-Maker”. Video montages of memorable moments from every story, iconic fashions, live music, laughs, drinks, hors d’oeuvres and of course the coveted solid gold Genny Award statuettes themselves, all make for an unforgettable evening that truly highlights the scope of TGP’s yearly impact. It’s a beautiful opportunity to honor all the talented storytellers who make our mission possible, as well as the audiences and supportive community that are equally important to the cause.
