I’m From Driftwood aims to help LGBTQ2S+ people learn more about their community, straight people learn more about their neighbors and everyone learn more about themselves through the power of storytelling and story sharing. Increasing empathy and empowering individuals is accomplished by creating an apolitical forum for LGBTQ2S+ stories from every age, race, gender, background and culture. The stories featured on the website deepen our understanding of each other, preserve history, and open hearts and minds.
