In this section, we seek to develop a geographical representation of the LGBTQ community in Winston-Salem and the greater-Triad community. Throughout a number of our interviews, our interviewees emphasized the importance of locals in terms of seeking both social relationships and resources for emotional, physical, and spiritual aid. We developed these visualizations to help viewers understand some of the most important locations that crossed through a number of our interviews and grasp the wide scope of Winston's LGBTQ community, according to our interviewees.
