For LGBTQ+ History Month, the Center’s newest blog looks back at the places that helped LGBTQ+ communities find each other, from Pioneer Square’s early queer bars to familiar Capitol Hill hangouts. Eddy shares memories of Seattle since 1998 and explores why these histories deserve to be remembered.

For a long time, Eddy wondered if he was “Hispanic enough.” His Spanish wasn’t fluent. Growing up queer added another layer to figuring out where he fit.

For National Hispanic American Heritage Month, Eddy reflects on language, family, queerness, and what it means to feel grounded in who you are.

What does it look like when we care for the land and care for community growth together?

Our team recently spent the day at UTOPIA Washington’s Fa’ato’aga, learning about the land, the people who care for it, and how it creates space for queer and trans Pacific Islander communities to connect, heal, and thrive.
