History isn’t just something we look back on—it’s something we live and shape every day. Brewing Connections brings together LGBTQ+ community members across generations to share stories, experiences, and perspectives over coffee and donuts (with fresh fruit for those who prefer a lighter bite!). Whether you’re looking to learn from the past, connect in the present, or inspire the future, this gathering is a space to celebrate our shared history and build meaningful relationships. Join us for a morning of conversation, community, and, of course, good coffee!

Presented by Ethos; The History Project; and The City of Boston’s Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement, Age Strong Commission, and Office of Youth Engagement and Advancement
