This event is the first in a series of events hosted through connectingonthenet.com.  This site is aimed at building the women's community through online connection.  We may be physically apart, but we can continue to gather online.

The Lesbian Story Project interviews the founder, Thistle Petterson and a key contributor, Julia Beck from Women's Liberation Radio News.  These two women represent a collective creating information online for radical feminists.  Today they create a monthly podcast, blog articles, and broadcast concerts to their growing community.  You can find out more at https://wlrnmedia.wordpress.com.

It's hard to think of a time before credit cards and ATMs.  However, this was when my guest, Wendi Rouder, came out.  In this episode, she shares her experience of coming out in the early1960s.  
Later, she found herself in San Fransisco during the AIDS epidemic.  With a background in theater, she was the driving force in creating the Arcaid Theatre Group.  This company was specifically for those who tested positive for HIV.  
From Wendy's childhood, being enamored with actresses of the day, to leading the Arcaid Theatre Group, Wendy shares a powerful life journey.  

In episode 33, I interview Kristi Dean, creator of Living the Rainbow.  In her desire to build bridges, she is creating the opportunity for members of the LGBTQ community to share their coming out stories through theater.  
The first performance is in her hometown of Durango, CO, Nov. 16th-17th, 2018.  She hopes to bring the production to other cities, around the country, using local performers from each location.
