How do LGBTQ+ people find community through place?<\/h5>\n<p>Mapping LGBTQ+ Portland is a research project designed to document LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc.) places in the greater Portland area in Maine and their development over time. As Portland\u2019s keystone queer nightclubs and bars face closure, we aim to explore how people still use place to engage with the Portland LGBTQ+ community. Our hope is to compile community members&#8217; experiences with LGBTQ+ places in Portland, creating a virtual walking tour, accessible to the public, that demonstrates the richness and complexity of LGBTQ+ Portland.<\/p>\n<h5>Are you interested in helping us with our project?<\/h5>\n<p>Include your experience with LGBTQ+ places in Portland!<\/p>\n<h4>Informed Consent Form<\/h4>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bowdoincollege.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_56Bqj8BbRLBvMKa\" height=\"1000px\" width=\"800px\" 0=\"\/iframe\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n<h4>How to participate<\/h4>\n<p>To participate in our survey, click <a href=\"http:\/\/map-me.org\/sites\/portland\">here<\/a> or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/map-me.org\/sites\/portland\">http:\/\/map-me.org\/sites\/portland<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>tutorial video and transcript<\/h4>\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/719180744?h=d2bad19533&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Tutorial Video Mapping LGBTQ+ Portland.mp4\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mapping LGBTQ+ Portland is a research project that aims to document LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc.) places in the greater Portland area in Maine. As anchoring queer institutions like gay bars and nightclubs face closure not only in Portland but nationwide, we hope to investigate how LGBTQ+ places still hold significance for queer people. In this survey, we\u2019ll ask you to pinpoint LGBTQ+ places in or around Portland on an online map using a \u201cspray can.\u201d The \u201cspray can approach\u201d allows participants to identify a single place, to select a whole array of places, or to give a general idea of where a place is or was.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>To participate in the survey,<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to <a href=\"https:\/\/research.bowdoin.edu\/mapping-lgbtq-portland\/\">https:\/\/research.bowdoin.edu\/mapping-lgbtq-portland\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage.
