Wednesday, April 3, 2024, 7:30pm to 9:30pm

The generation that fought hardest to come out of the closet is going back in to survive.

What would you do if you were old, disabled or ill – and the person feeding you put down the spoon and said that you are going to hell unless you change your sexual orientation?

Gen Silent is the critically acclaimed documentary from filmmaker Stu Maddux that asks six LGBT seniors if they will hide their friends, their spouses- their entire lives in order to survive in the care system.
