How many animal species are actually gay? What can whale falls teach us about relationships and rebirth? How can queer communities find and create safe spaces in the outdoors? How can queerness help us adapt to a changing climate?

Join us at the Bureau for Queer Ecologies, an evening of readings by authors writing about queerness, science, and nature. Molly Adams, Sabrina Imbler, Eliot Schrefer, and Elizabeth Weinberg will read from new and recent work.

Copies of Adams’ Birding for a Better World, Imbler’s How Far the Light Reaches, Schrefer’s Queer Ducks (and Other Animals), and Weinberg’s Unsettling will be available for purchase. To reserve a copy of any of these titles please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “reserve book for Sept. 15th event” in the subject line.

PLEASE WEAR A MASK FOR THIS EVENT. WE WILL HAVE SOME AVAILABLE AT THE REGISTER. THANKS!

This event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center, 208 W. 13th St., NYC, 10011.
