Community

Conversations about the human body are often heteronormative and cisgender/straight-centric. Talking about one’s body and changes can be difficult for many, especially when stigma and preconceptions exist. Diverse and beautiful, LGBTQ+ bodies need more safe spaces to discuss one’s unique and similar journeys. This OutTalk will discuss and celebrate LGBTQ+ body experiences — all colors, shapes, and sizes.

Featuring:

• Stacy London (she/her/hers), CEO of State of Menopause

Thursday, April 14, 5:30-7:30pm, Wild Goose Creative, 188 McDowell St.
