This Gather will explore what it is like for families who have at least two queer members. Panelists will include women who identify as lesbian and/or queer and have family members who are queer as well. For those of us who always wished we had a gay mom/dad or gay sister/brother, this is a discussion you don't want to miss!
Sunday, February 20th from 5pm - 7pm LGBT Community Center Room 102
The Gather project has been years in the making. My background is in psychology (my master's thesis was on lesbian coming out stories). My not-so-distance future goal is to run my own therapy practice. I spent some time writing for Venus Zine, a magazine born out of the DIY culture in Chicago. I interviewed bell hooks, Ani DiFranco, Michelle Tea, Carrie Brownstein, Rebecca Walker, Daniela Sea, and Saul Williams.
I now live in Brooklyn, and am just thrilled to launch Gather. I want to create a platform for women to get together (and anyone else who desires) in a public space and have those great conversations that seldom leave our living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchen tables...
I look forward to meeting you soon!
