Over the Rainbow (3).png

Death is a part of life — and for LGBTQIA+ people, the process of dying, being remembered, and caring for those we lose comes with its own particular joys, challenges, and needs.

 

Over the Rainbow is a free, community-centered symposium creating space for LGBTQIA+ people, their chosen families, and their communities to learn, plan, and connect around the realities of death and dying.

 

Presented by LOVEboldly and hosted at the Franklin County Forensic Science Center, home of the Franklin County Coroner's Office, this interfaith symposium brings together a keynote address, community speakers, and resource tables to offer practical information and communal support. Regardless of age or health, whether you're thinking about your own end-of-life planning, supporting an aging or ill loved one, or working in a field that serves the LGBTQIA+ community, you'll find something here for you.
