For those I havenโt e-met yet, Iโm TuxedoCat. June is Pride Month! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Itโs 2 weeks into Pride Month so I wanted to reach out to invite all LGBTQIA+ and questioning people on the forums to join our LGBTQIA+ social thread! Itโs a place where we can chat about fun things or give special support to each other. Click here to join in and introduce yourself! Re: LBGTIQ+ Social Space
At our Topic Tuesday on June 28, I'll be discussing my own lived experience of being queer with @Former-Member and @TideisTurning. Weโll chat about the radical history of Pride Month, finding connection and building community and growing up regionally!
All LGBTIAQ+ and questioning people, allies and those caring for LGBTIAQ+ people are invited to attend! Support this post and weโll make sure to tag you in the Topic Tuesday post or interact here to be reminded when we start or jump into the post here Topic Tuesday // Pride Month: Connection and Growth // Tues 28th June, 2022 7-8:30PM AEST
