All welcome at Rainbow Families on Thursday, 6:30pm
Join Rainbow Families for an evening celebrating the history of queerness and the ways LGBTQ+ identities have been grown and evolved over time.
Gordon parent and Rainbow Families Chair Jess Cronin, LICSW, (she/her) will trace some of the history that has shaped the stories we tell about queerness today, and lead a conversation about how our own histories inform who we are and how we parent.
This will be an opportunity to listen, learn, share, and be in community together. All are welcome! Pizza and veggies will be provided. Feel free to bring something else to share if you'd like!
