OUTWORDS: The National Interview Archive of the LGBTQ Experience


  • Mason Funk, Director

About the Project

OUTWORDS is the first-ever national project to document the remarkable evolution of the LGBTQ community over the past several decades, through on-camera interviews with the people who led, participated in, or simply witnessed it. The OUTWORDS coffee table book (published by Harper Collins) and the OUTWORDS searchable online platform will launch in June 2019, the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising -- to remember, to celebrate, and to ensure that the lessons of the past are not lost to the future.
