*A note on the use of the word Q***R. We join with others in reclaiming the use of the word q***r. This word, which was used as a weapon against LGBTQ folks for years, is now being used by us and others as an inclusive term. Many people who do not feel that they fit in traditional categories (of gender and sexual orientation) or do not feel that these catagories are useful, can come together under a shared identity. We encourage all group participants to use the language that feels right to them. It is the individual's right to choose the language that they feel most reflects their identity. www.proudoutandwonderful.tumblr.com
