If I Had Known: The Light and Shadow of Queer Parenting
Saturday October 26, 2024 6:30pm - 7:30pm PDT
Blondie's Bar
Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the exhilarating highs and gut-wrenching lows of queer parenting. We'll serve up unfiltered truth bombs about love, heartaches, and the fierce resilience of LGBTQ+ families. We will pull back the curtain on the raw, messy beauty of being a queer parent or an ally of a queer child. Get ready for real talk, fierce vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart. This event will leave you feeling seen, heard, and ready to embrace the badassery of queer parenthood.
