    Possibly the best promo poster I’ve EVER encountered for a queer event, haha :) Out For The Holidays is for anyone who is …
 Thinking of coming out at home as gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, or whatever
Planning on heading back into the closet while they’re home
Worried about maintaining multiple levels of outness at home
Or simply interested in hearing about others’ experiences going homo … ahem … home for the holidays? 
It’s open to the public*, plus there’s free food and prizes from Good Vibrations, so definitely check it out!
Also, tonight I’ll be at the opening reception for Faces of Gender @Harvard, a photography exhibition by my friend and Feminist Pride Day** co-founder Abby Sun. In collaboration with the Trans Task Force, she examined the varied experiences of gender and explores the diversity of gender identities and expressions  within the Harvard community. It’s part of the university’s Gender Diversity Week, and if you can’t make the physical event, you can see some of the portraits and hand-written participant statements on the website.
* Due to increased security because of Occupy Harvard, only Harvard affiliates are being allowed into the Yard until further notice. (You will need a Harvard ID to get in to both events - I’ve been using my expired one.) The event organizers are working on making it possible for everyone to attend. Details TBA.
** Abby and I worked together on what was formerly known as Feminist Coming Out Day - I’ll have more details to post soon about the 2012 event!
