Kyle is a 23 year old who created “Queers of Greater Portland.” This is an instagram page that captures photos of people in the LGBTQIA+ community who live in the greater Portland area. It has been one of my favorite accounts since the start of quarantine and allows people to feel a sense of connection and unity during social isolation. Kyle discusses how this project started, his dream and hopes for the future, as well as why this is all so important to him.
