Lunch & Learn - Orlando in Bloom: A Queer History
Friday, October 2, noon 

Modern Orlando boasts a bustling LGBT+ scene—but its queer history goes back much further than Pride festivals and rainbow crosswalks. Join Cheyenne Stastyshyn, Public Programs Coordinator, for a journey through Orlando's queer past told through an unexpected lens: citrus. From orange groves and the Great Freeze of 1895 to Anita Bryant, the orange juice boycott, and Orlando's emergence as an LGBT+ destination, discover how a community that was already here grew alongside a changing city.

This program is being offered both in-person and virtually. If you plan to attend virtually, select the "Adult" ticket option that does not include lunch. The access link to join the program virtually will be included in your email confirmation following the completion of your order.

Lunch must be ordered by 9 a.m. on Thursday, October 1.
