PFLAG Portland

Short notice, but a very cool event for q***r students, parents and allies!

Stephanie Fairyington is a q***r writer from NYC promoting her just-published book "UGLY: A Letter to My Daughter."

She has a reading TOMORROW, May 14 @ 6:30 p.m., with local q***r author Neil Cochrane, author of "The Story of a Hundred Promises," at Literary Arts, 716 NE Grand Ave., in Portland, and she's inviting q***r students to the event along with parents and allies.

Steph situates her book in a personal narrative within an historical and cultural analysis of western notions of beauty.

"Who’s inside the beauty paradigm?" she asks. "Who’s outside? Why? Who does it serve? .... (It's) written in the form of a letter to my attractive and traditionally feminine daughter, who’s now 10 and whom I’ve seen, as early as age six, strain under the weight of beauty imperatives.

Book it!

It's that time of the month for parents and caregivers of LGBTQIA+ youth to come together in support.
