Professor Vooris’ lecture explored the realm of food and the LGBTQ+ community. The history that Professor Vooris covered really stood out to me because I did not have much prior knowledge of this field of study. For instance, potluck dinners were and continue to be vital to the LGBTQ+ community because these dinners act as spaces of safety and conversation. They bring people together to create changes and to discuss the changes that people want to see done. Overall, this reminded me that food is more than sustenance, it is also political and so much more.
