As a former proud ‘ally’, I would love to see data on if anyone was actually straight in the Gay-Straight Alliances. That was nice of select teachers/peers to make queer clubs that didn’t out you, even to yourself. Here’s some events for you to enjoy… your younger self deserves a night out being out!

From the Archives

How cool is it that we have the Lesbian Herstory Archives right in our backyard? (If you happen to live on 14th in Park Slope.) One day I’ll manage to book an open hours or volunteer session, but in the meantime their digital collection is fascinating.
