The LGBTQ+ Community Group • Last activity 21/Oct

A community gathering place for LGBTQIA+ writers from all genres. We post on the 1st and 15th of each month. The posts can be devoted to celebrations, struggles, requests for resources, and everything in between. The other members do their best to respond to each post, even if it's just a line in support or commiseration.

We also meet every six months or so via Zoom to chat and reconnect in person.
