For all Texans who love Texas.

Queer social clubs offer a much-needed alternative to the bar scene. One founder said his group is about “bringing everyone together and tearing down these walls that, over time, have gradually gone up between the L, the G, the B, the T and the Q.”

Now out at @thebarbedwire.com:
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.”

I haven't mentioned it yet but I'm excited about "Big and Bright," the new LGBTQIA+ section at @thebarbedwire.com ... I'm not aware of other statewide pubs devoting this much space to queer and trans life. Thanks to @oliviamesser.bsky.social and the rest of the team who are making this happen.
Texas Is a Lot More Queer Than You Think. I Am Too.
There are 1.8 million of us, and we’re not going anywhere.
