Join us as we discuss the rich and vibrant ways, we explore service within our queer identities and relationships! This session is aimed toward all who identify under the queer, trans, nonbinary, ace/aro, gay, lesbian, and bi/pan umbrellas. How do we view and experience service outside a cis heteronormative perspective? What are ways we offer or receive service that may transcend typical norms and preconceptions? Bring your stories, ideas, and questions for an opportunity to learn and share together.
