Queer is Community is an upcoming event at the Center on Halsted. On Sunday, May 27, 6 pm until 9 pm. The event will bring together performers, activists, students, nonprofits and folks from across Chicago to dialogue about community building in Chicago and the need for building inclusive, affirming spaces in our community. The eventing will include discussion on racism, sexism, transphobia and other pitfalls of our community that divide us, rather than unite us.
A small vigil/speak out will begine at 6pm outside of the Center, followed by a 15-minute period to allow vigil attendees and general attendees to file into the center. Five dollars is the suggested donation at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The donations will be split with the Center on Halsted, to cover the cost of the space, and The Crib.
Hosted by Adam Guerino, the moderator of last year's We Are Halsted event, Queer is Community will begin with an hour of performances, from personalities across the spectrum of the community. These performers will speak to their own experiences with these issues, and they include:
Jamie Royce of Stuff Queer People Need to Know
Tony Soto of The Qu
ellie navidson of Genderqueer Chicago and No Boys Allowed
Precious Davis of the Center on Halsted
Yasmin Nair of Gender JUST and Against Equality
Brian Turner of TaskForce Prevention & Community Services
Zachary Stafford of the Huffington Post
Trans educator Rebecca Kling
Queer performer Jacquelyn Carmen Guerrero (aka. Vajaqueque Brown)
There will be a 15-minute intermission followed by an hour-long discussion by this diverse panel of community members on including intersecting identities and inspiring change.
