Stories of Subversion, Resistance, and Acceptance
October 12 | 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.Union Pacific Railroad Museum
UNfortunately, this event has already occurred.
But in his presentation, Peter Boag offers a different view of the Old West through sharing stories of individuals whose truths subvert common wisdom about the region’s gender stereotypes, whose lives of resistance to societal norms question masculinity and femininity, and whose oft-times acceptance by their communities counters the hatred, prejudice, and even violence that those who don’t seem to match up to accepted gender (and sexual) stereotypes still experience in the American West of today.
Free and open to the public.
