Most people living outside places like Tulsa, OK have a certain assumption about the visibility of queer people here…and not a flattering one. So it might surprise you to know that it’s teeming with artists in the queer community. And as someone who grew up here, my guest Chris Vanndy is leading the charge as a creative and community leader to make their work visible.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll hear about how he’s helping to create safe spaces for queer artists and their art in Tulsa. He’ll also emphasize the importance of increasing visibility for those in the 2SLGBTQ+ space, as well as reveal why he feels fortunate to have been born and raised in Tulsa and his dream goal for the community.
