Pioneer Square’s LGBTQ+ History with Rosette Royale and Guests

Join local storyteller Rosette Royale and special guests as we learn about the LGBTQ+ history of Pioneer Square. This presentation and panel discussion in honor of Pride 2023 will build on HistoryLink's walking tour of Pioneer Square, exploring the locations that were significant to Seattle's increasingly visible LGBTQ+ community in the 1970s. Walking tour maps will be provided. Rosette Royale (he/she/they) is a writer and storyteller whose first job, 20 years ago, was in Pioneer Square. Rosette worked as a writer and editor at Re-al Change for more than a decade and recently oversaw a project to collect oral histories for local people sharing their personal experiences of HIV/AIDS. We thank our partner, HistoryLink.org.
