Our Community Lives

Our Community Lives records the people who built the LGBTQIA+ community of Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, in their own words. Each interview becomes part of a living timeline of South Texas LGBTQIA+ history: the organising, the bars and the churches, the losses, the parades, the people who showed up.

Interviews are now recorded at The Mosaic Center. The first one made here was recorded in October 2026.
