Not Your Average Book Club

Event Description

This is not your average book club! Queer Book Club is branching out and starting a non-fiction version for those of us who love to read on different perspectives and topics. We will be meeting 4 times a year to discuss book on a variety of issues.

February's book will be The Skin We Are In by Desmond Cole

This book club is open to all members of the LGBT2Q+ community who are 16 years and older.

A reminder to those looking to join that reading anti-racist books won’t end racism. we are creating a space where folks can gather to discuss various topics and issues more in-depth and then use the discussions and learning to broaden their perspectives and take action in their every day lives.

This book club will be facilitated from a queer, anti-oppressive framework.

Zoom details will be posted closer to the date

The Skin We're In

In his 2015 cover story for Toronto Life magazine, Desmond Cole exposed the racist actions of the Toronto police force, detailing the dozens of times he had been stopped and interrogated under the controversial practice of carding.
