THEME (last minute change to Home)
Theme change: Home.
What does home look like to you? How do we create home as queer people? Where and how have queer people in your life made home? Who and what has supported your sense of home? How can Telling Queer History create or support your sense of home?
We are changing the topic this month. We take responsibility for the gap in communication with our featured speakers who will not be joining us this month. We hope to revisit the topic of Two Spirit identities at a future gathering. We apologize for the late notice in change of theme. We hope you still join us and share your stories.
We also acknowledge and grieve that our community lost a loved one this week, Jesus Estrada-Perez. A memorial bike ride will be happening right before this event.
