Queer Lit Book Club
Our Queer Lit Book Club offers a multitude of perspectives to both honor histories and provide hope for future generations. These titles span a haunting recollection of a past love affair that took place before AIDS forever changed the queer community, a memoir written by a Black, mixed artist and theatre maker who explores life beyond the gender binary, and a coming of age tale told strictly through one sided phone calls set in a Colombian American household. Anyone who identifies as queer is welcome to join this group.
