AMAZING!! our next PIG is tbd but i am anticipating it being june 23, but still needing to get confirmation on a venue!
a recap of our last PIG…
for our role call i asked what gives everyone GEB— aka gender euphoric bliss.
then we talked about it for the live poem!
next we did a 10 minute write on “what makes you feel gender euphoric bliss”
after that we did a 30 min write on these:
and not gonna lie— things got pretty intense! there were a lot of grieving gay people and after that we spent a good amount of time discussing the grief that comes from being gay, the lost time, experiences, not being able to date innocently as a teen, etc. we had some impactful discussions and the poetry that was shared was sacred and I feel honored you all trusted me to facilitate this. I LOVE YOU GUYS!
we had some delicious treats thanks to Tyler and David, and hope we can come back very soon! I will be back to update you on the next PIG, but for now I will hope to see you at ART IS GAY this tuesday and get your submissions ready for PIG ZINE! I’d also love some visuals to accompany any pieces/if anyone wants to help with layout and design let me know!
ok I love you guys forever and ever happy pride even though i know it is still hard to be gay ♡
YOURS FOREVER & ALWAYS,
Brooke
