Join us for a vibrant and affirming Coming Out Day celebration full of stories, connection, creativity, and community! Whether you're out, questioning, or showing up in support, there's something for everyone. Please note, post approval is turned on that way we will (hopefully) avoid scammers commenting.

We’ll host a series of panels throughout the afternoon, including:
-A conversation with a couple of queer authors and poets from our community.
- A panel/Q&A on how to be there for loved ones as they come out.

- Education on safe binding practices + a community art project.
