Five years ago, Nathan Manske founded I’m From Driftwood the LGBTQ Story Archive. Inspired by a vintage photography of Harvey Milk holding a “I’m From Woodmere, N.Y.” poster at a 1978 pride parade in SF, the new site launched with just nine stories. Today, the total stands at exactly 877. Some will make you laugh, others cry, and still more make you want to organize a million protests.
Fresh off a site redesign, the nonprofit organization is publishing a brand new Video Story every Wednesday. To help celebrate five years of I’m From Driftwood, here are five of its top posts, selected by none other than Manske himself. Driftwood is an extremely valuable resource for everyone, but particularly for young LGBTQs in unlikely places with few resources.
Please consider contributing to the cause.
