Awakenings / Lambda LitFest LA 2018

"Awakenings: Weaving Our Stories Through the Threads of Time" is an official selection for Lambda Literary LitFest LA 2018, weaving together the stories of people’s lives and events which have contributed to LGBTQ social and spiritual awakenings. 

The program is presented in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of Metropolitan Community Churches by Rev. Troy Perry (October 6, 1968) and the 20th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard (October 12, 1998), and the 40th anniversary of the death of Harvey Milk (November 27, 1978).

Readings from diverse literary works reflect upon the social unrest and oppression of the late 1960’s, which led the young Troy Perry into spiritual activism and birthed the first spiritual home for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.  

Out of the struggles for equal rights and the anguish of the AIDS epidemic, the writings bring to life personal and collective awakenings in the midst of overwhelming challenges.

As we recount the creation of the rainbow flag 40 years ago, as a vibrant fabric binding the community together, we recall how the deaths of Harvey Milk and Matthew Shepard led to awakenings, endurance, and the expansion of a global compassionate movement.  

The Trans Chorus of Los Angeles performs works from the concert-length composition "Considering Matthew Shepard."
