sasha_featherToday I got to sit on a panel for a class at the university. I talked about LGBT Books to Prisoners and the other panelists talked about other queer orgs in town: Vivent Health, OutReach, and Stage Q. This was really energizing, interesting, and fun. All of us panelists seemed to be on the same page about our politics. One person pointed out that considering the size of the town, Madison has a lot of queer groups and activist groups; he came from a city of 2 million that didn't have an LGBT community center, and we have one here with something like 250K people.
I love talking about the project and I loved learning about these other orgs. At the end, the professor said, these people are engaging in queer world building. The world as it exists does not deserve our queer selves and queer love, so we try to make one that does. This warmed my heart so much!
Yes I indeed wore my t-shirt that says "I'm here, I'm queer, my joint pain is moderate to severe."
