To begin with, Queeritage is a fusion of the words queer and heritage. We aim to preserve and share the authentic stories and histories of the LGBTQ+ community through our multimedia storytelling project. In doing so, we also hope to raise awareness about issues regarding queer rights and gender equality. We felt that the word heritage encapsulated the subject that we strive to honor, and our intent to highlight the past, present, and future. Simultaneously, we decided to use the word queer as an identifier for our project, because of its expansive and inclusive connotations, as well as the term's history and significance in LGBTQ+ activism. Combined, the two terms form Queeritage!
