We’re gathered here today, under the canvas of the Spiegeltent, to celebrate queer lives, voices, and literature. Hear from a lively panel of queer writers – including author and activist Tareq Baconi (Fire in Every Direction), poet Joelle Taylor (Maryville), Lavender Menace co-Founder Sigrid Nielsen, politician Q Mannivanan, and novelist Sara Torres (X is Where I Am) – sharing the art that’s inspired them, the stories they wish they’d found sooner, and why it matters to see your experiences represented in the culture you consume. Chaired by Steph Harmon.
