Register NowHighfield Hall & Gardens, together with PFLAG Cape Cod, invites you to an engaging and personal discussion with Paul Glass and Charles D. Evans about their 50-year love story, their journeys, and their activism in the community. While raised in different parts of the country, their drive to give back to their community was ingrained in them both since childhood. Unbeknownst to them at the time, they were both at the Stonewall uprising in New York City in 1969, an event that signaled a major turning point in LGBT+ liberation. Over the years, they have volunteered in the community in numerous ways, including food pantries, Cape Cod Pride, HIV+ advocacy, and much more, and in 2023 they were awarded the AARP Massachusetts Andrus Award for Community Service. Especially notable is the organization they founded: LGBTQ+ Elders of Color, which raises awareness and visibility for LGBTQ+ older adults of color.Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. This is a FREE program, but pre-registration is requested. PFLAG is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and those who love them.

Following the screening, Karen Olcott, a Falmouth native and co-producer of the film, along with Leonard Miele, will lead a discussion and audience Q&A.
