Sid Jordan Peterson will present a video documentary project capturing the narratives of LGBTQ young people in Washington State during a free event from 2-3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 30 at the Kirkland Library, 308 Kirkland Ave.

From stories of getting beat up in a schoolyard to being picked up as a runaway, we learn that LGBTQ youth exercise courage daily. Join the filmmaker in a special screening of this documentary and a post-screening discussion.

In an open and welcoming atmosphere, Peterson provides an audience with a local look at critical issues and examines the changing dynamics of gender and sexuality in Washington. Peterson is a community educator, filmmaker, and licensed attorney with a background in international human rights.
