May 4, 6pm: May the 4th be with you!
Long before Star Wars introduced us to the Force, gender non-conforming, non-binary out of this world thinking has made a welcome space for those us marching to a more cosmic beat. Consider this - science fiction and fantasy expanded the norm and was one of the first places where gender was not a boundary, but rather just another trait. Prepare to share your favorite stories, books and film characters that opened your eyes to more than what the everyday world can see. We are stronger when we flex to our differences and embrace our unique powers.

May 11, 6pm: Mad Libs
Mad Libs is a non-competitive game in which one player (the reader) asks other players to fill in blanks in a document that only the reader can see. The reader then reads back the result, which can be funny, shocking, whimsical, or just plain silly. The version we’ll play uses LGBTQ-themed essays on such topics as “On-Line Dating Dos and Don’ts 4 Gayz”, “Don’t Bring Your U-Haul”, “Hers and Hers: Lesbian Wedding Vows”, and “Gaydar.” It promises to be a fun and relaxing evening.

May 18, 6pm: May History
"It's May, the lusty month of May," according to the lyrics of Camelot. It's also the month of school desegregation, Babe Ruth's first home run, the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad near Great Salt Lake in Utah. Wars were ended in the month of May, kings were crowned and queens beheaded. How does the lowly cow figure in the word for vaccination? Who was jailed for 27 years and later elected president? Who was burned as a witch and later canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church? Come find out.
