Description
This group is for you if you've ever...
- Felt like you are too “late in life” coming out
- Encountered rejection, suspicion, or biphobia from the queer community
- Experienced religious, family, or relational pressure to “perform heterosexuality”
- Felt like you don’t fit neatly into existing definitions of queerness
We will provide a safe and supportive connection opportunity for folks who feel on the edges of queer spaces or have felt rejected by the community for not being queer enough or being perceived as “sexual tourists”. This is a place that will help you realize you are not alone and will help you find ways to understand and believe you are allowed to exist and thrive in queer spaces without self doubt or fear of judgment.
Come to our comfortable and private office in Scott’s Addition every Thursday evening for a casual story sharing and community building experience. Group will be ongoing with no long term obligations.
