This is a group for LGBT folks who are tired of reading books by straight, cisgender, white men. So if you feel your reading list could use some queering, join up. We'll meet once a month to have coffee/drinks and discuss.

Join us on August 16th at 1pm at Fait la Force Brewing! We will be discussing Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
Details:
Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the "Fun Home." It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve. In her hands, personal history becomes a work of amazing subtlety and power, a unique coming-of-age story written with controlled force and enlivened with humor, rich literary allusion, and heartbreaking detail. How does a daughter resolve the legacy of mystery left by the man she called her father?
