Andrea Gibson is a gift to us all: a clear and poignant voice of our generation, a queer role model and an embracer of the full, authentic human condition. Andrea’s devastating departure from the earth on July 14, 2025 sent waves of grief as well as profound gratitude and love through the community.
Prior to Gibson’s too-soon departure, a documentary was filmed about them and their spouse Megan Falley facing Andrea’s terminal cancer diagnosis. You can watch the trailer here.
On November 22nd, we will gather to watch the documentary as a community, because it just feels right to watch this and honor this incredible soul and the journey this couple has navigated together by being in community. We will also connect a bit with Andrea’s poetry, connect with one another and support the Queer Community in small unique ways.
We will be accepting Clothing Donations (up to two bags per person of adult clothing in good shape) for the MaineTrans.Net Safe Combinations Thrift Store. Snacks and beverages will also be sold to generate more donations. Feel free to bring water if you’d like water.
All proceeds from ticket sales will be given directly to MaineTrans.Net.
