PEOPLE & PEACE TALK SHOW: CONRAD STRAUCH IN CONVERSATION WITH FRANK MAHOOD AND CHET KABARA (In-Person at NSK Location)

Wednesday, June 17, 5:00–6:00 p.m.

In Pride Month, Frank Mahood and Chet Kabara share a life shaped by love, family, and a deep commitment to community. Frank was an early voice in Princeton’s LGBTQ history, helping create spaces of connection and belonging when such spaces were rare. As a founding member of what became Gay People Princeton, he helped build a movement rooted in dialogue and care.

Together, their story reflects profound change — from years without recognition to marriage equality — offering a deeply human perspective on identity, partnership, and the evolving meaning of belonging, and reminding us of the quiet courage it takes to live, love, and remain open across changing times.

Registration required, no fee.
