Cal* (staff member) said “they did this huge brainstorm of what a queer space is. And they had really good ideas! It was chosen family, a community, a safe space, a place where you could explore your gender and your sexuality and your pronouns and your identity without judgement but it was also a place where you could teach others and learn yourself.”
