Queer Community Book Club
2020 hit us all pretty hard. Many of us were struck with deep isolation and a desperate need for community. Worse yet, lockdown came at a time of increased political hostility toward (and within) the LGBTQ+ community. People needed connection more than ever. That's where James Young (He/They) - co-founder of Queery, educator and activist - stepped in and created Queer Community Book Club (QCBC)!
In partnership with The LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center, Queery now hosts QCBC to invite LGBTQ+ and allied communities to come together to read and discuss a variety of LGBTQ+ literature.

QCBC is founded on 4 core principles -
-
Community is core - We are a community first and foremost, that uses books to lead us into discussions and connections and a book club second.
-
Your voice matters - We utilize literature as a means of exploring new perspectives, as well as a way of exploring our own lived experiences.
-
There is always something new to learn - and that's a beautiful thing!
-
No book? No problem! - Come as you are and jump into the conversation as the readings we discuss are about our lives. Through the generous donations of supporters, QCBC has offered books to club members. Not being able to afford a book QCBC is reading should NOT stop you from participating if you wish to.
