Reminder: workshop: Queer Surviving: Telling our whole stories @ Sun Aug 29 1pm - 4:30pm (Queer Things)

more details » workshop: Queer Surviving: Telling our whole stories Queer Surviving: Telling our whole stories Sunday August 29th – 1-4:30 Co- facilitated by Sassafras Lowrey and Jen Cross $20-40, sliding scale (NOTAFLOF; please be in touch if $ is an issue, and we can work something out!) Please visit http://www.writingourselveswhole.org to register! What does it mean to 'survive' as a queer* person? The word 'survivor' can mean many things: sexual assault or abuse, partner violence, family violence, believing that we're worth less because we're queer (internalized homophobia), dealing with homophobia at work, at school, from the police or elsewhere (institutional homophobia), being hospitalized to 'cure' our queerness, forced or chosen houselessness (when 'home' is the least safe space to be) and more. Sassafras and Jen invite you to spend an afternoon writing about your larger story of survival, which may also be your larger story of 'coming out.' We are, each of us, endlessly creative in the ways that we find to survive and reclaim our power in this society. Bearing witness to our fuller stories, and allowing others to bear witness to us, can be a way to honor the difficult choices we have made, and decrease our sense of being alone or 'crazy.'
