Smashing Gender, Staying Queer

Don’t Miss the Message OR the Irony! It’s a Binary Sermon Series All About Destroying the Binary!

As attacks on basic rights and protections for queer and trans folks continue unabated, now more than ever we must understand the essential roles that gender expansiveness and queer culture play in making spaces for EVERYONE to get free. Gender shapes the spaces – social, conversational, professional, as well as literal – that we are given to occupy. Come into a place of curiosity and consider your own experience of self expression as we celebrate pride month.

On Sunday, June 8:  Feminine, But Not Like That
Misogyny and gender stereotyping are not just hetero things. Everyone deserves bodily autonomy and the ability to be who they are, but it is complicated and challenging to break out of the binary options we’ve been given. Femme erasure steals power and authenticity from women and softness and nurturing from men – while it leaves no space at all for folks who are genderqueer and nonbinary.
