CHUN Hosts Neighborhood Assembly and Presentation about LGBTQ+ Neighbors

On November 30, Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, and its partners at the Center on Colfax, hosted a 2021 Neighborhood Assembly, featuring David Duffield, History Program Coordinator for the Colorado LGBTQ History Project, where he presented "Queer Neighbors".

The presentation traveled back in time to share details about the spaces, events, and lives of queer Denver from 1859-2021. It looked at how Capitol Hill became the first "gay neighborhood" and how CHUN played a central role in many of these events. Other topics included issues of housing, discrimination, law, and resistance strategies that took place in the heart of the greater Capitol Hill community.

David also looked at issues past, present, and post-COVID within the LGBTQ community of Denver and how the community has changed as a result.
