I would invite my Lola. She passed away in 2021, and I never had the chance to tell her. Since she lived in the Philippines, I only saw her every few years. She taught me how to garden, sew, and cook, skills that brought us closer together. I think she knew, especially since many of our family members also identified as LGBTQ. Even though she's no longer here, I think she would be proud of who I am today. I just wish she could see it.

Alan Turing of course. The incredible mind who helped win WWII and basically invented computer science, yet was treated horribly by the government he served because of his sexuality. I'd want him to know how much the world has changed and how his work transformed humanity and tech. Plus, I bet he'd have some mind-blowing thoughts about today's AI.

Oscar Wilde - Because I want to witness his legendary wit in person! I'd love to hear his take on modern life and watch him roast everyone at the table with that perfect blend of charm and savagery. Plus, I'm dying to know what he'd think of social media and celebrity culture.
