This workshop focuses on the connections between gentrification in working class communities and communities of color, and issues facing the LGBTQ community. What has the role of white and middle class queer people, students, artists, etc. been in the process of gentrification? Together we'll explore the effects of displacement and find ways to address both heterosexism and the newest form of colonization: gentrification.
