Reunion is our fall gala, traditionally held in October to coincide with LGBTQ history month. Reunion is an opportunity to celebrate our vast queer past, honor the history makers who move our communities forward, and raise funds to keep LGBTQ history alive!
This year we honored History Makers Jose Antonio Vargas and The Stud.
