We're wading into the gay classic Dancer from the Dance. The novel offers a snapshot of post-Stonewall, pre-AIDS queer life in New York. ⚠️ Book was written by a cis white man in the 1970 - some characters express casual racism, which can feel jarring to read today. RSVP for details - link in bio.

Pride was never meant to be polite. It began with bans, with batons, and with queer people who refused to run. It’s threatened by every law that tries to erase us. And still – we speak out, we stand together, and we refuse to run. This month isn’t decoration. It’s defiance.
