There's a growing number of Queer Social Clubs that offer sober alternatives to the bars, from hiking to yoga to line dancing and soup. My first for "Big and Bright," @thebarbedwire.com's queer news section.

Looking For Queer Community Outside the Bar? There’s a Walking (and Hiking and Yoga and Line-Dancing) Club For That.
Tired of alcohol? Join a queer walking club. “Sometimes, a sense of belonging can genuinely be lifesaving.”

This question is central to the way I approach covering trans issues.
When folks write things designed to make you panic, you should take a breath and ask - is this designed to make me engage? Or is it actually trying to inform?

About a decade ago there was a viral video of a trans woman in Turkey recording herself on her phone before she took her own life. Through all the tears for the minutes the video went on she kept returning to, I'm paraphrasing slightly, "how are we supposed to live if they won't let us work?"
