Join us for Queer Pages: Unbound Perspectives on Love and Desire, a weekly gathering where we dive into a series of readings that challenges heteronormative narratives and uplifts the diverse experiences of queer, trans, and people of color (QTPOC) in exploring relationships and sexuality. No need to read the books and articles ahead of time. We will read and discuss them together in group. This series offers a safe and affirming space for thoughtful discussions on how societal norms impact our understanding of identity, intimacy, and connection. Through facilitated conversations of our unique lived experiences and shared reflections, we will deepen our collective knowledge and foster a community of healthy communication and radical self-love.
