The organizers of the Deaf LGBTQI and Allies Awards Ceremony will be hosting their 7th annual event this Saturday, September 9, 2017, from 7 - 10:45 PM,
Deaf LGBTQI and Allies Awards Ceremony was founded 7 years ago with zero budget in the home of one of the co-founders. It was inspired by an idea based on experience that there was no safe space for Deaf LGBTQI and friends to be - the group committed to establishing a safe space.
In the first year, 25 people attended and the number grows each year. The 6th annual award had over 130 participants.
This event continues because every year people share that it saved their life and/or gave them the courage to come out. People also say it gives them a space that is safe, nurturing, and loving. People can be who they are.
Resources are shared at this event, which helps community members know where they can go to get support.
Come and join this magical event.
Where: Intermedia Arts (2822 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55408)
Schedule:
This event is sponsored by community organizations such as ASLIS, Family Tree, Intelligere, Keystone Interpreting Solutions (KIS) Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC), Purple, Smitten Kitten, Twin Cities Pride, and many wonderful individual sponsors.
The Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing Minnesotans (MNCDHH) is sponsoring the cost of sign language interpreters for DeafBlind audience members.
