Beacham, Christopher

Scope and content:

I interviewed Chris Beacham on a quiet day in Swem Library less than a week after commencement, in which Chris participated as a member of the 2013 graduating class. Chris and I discussed his many, largely positive experiences as a genderqueer member of William and Mary's LGBTQ community. Chris explained the beginnings of his queer identity in high school and his further personal and intellectual growth at W&M as a student, editor of Lips, and member of the queer social community on campus. Chris' responses to my questions were thoughtful and candid, and should be of great interest to those looking to know more about the queer community and queer activism at William and Mary in the twenty-first century. -David Pratt, May 20, 2013
