THEME
Love is...
Bring mementos of love, loved ones, stories of love.
We will have an "open mic" for sharing what love is to you. Making "Valentines" for your first queer crush, the first person you knew was out, the person who showed you love as a queer person, self love, community love, love for the person who broke your heart, love for the people who fought this battle before us, love for the youth who will keep it going. Bring it all.
EVENT FORMAT
We are doing things different this time. Details are being polished still but be ready to frost some cookies and share some stories of queer love.
Interested in being a guest speaker or helping put on the next event? Contact the event organizer (Rebecca Lawrence rjlawrencephotography@gmail.com).
*Allies are welcome to join, listen and volunteer. Hearing our stories is a great way to be an ally, allowing and assisting us in having the space to tell our stories is a way to be an advocate. Thanks!
