Oooh, this one is a classic!

Join us this Wednesday as we watch 'But I'm a cheerleader', a comedy/romance in which we follow Megan, a high school cheerleader who's parents, suspecting her to be a le***an, sent her to a conversion camp.

While touching on such a delicate topic, this satire shows how hypocritical and out-of-touch some ~humans~ decide to be, while sharing a powerful message of acceptance through adversity, development of community and finding your chosen family.

We'll have popcorn, sodas, juices, and a debrief after! And of course, we will be there to navigate feelings that might arise.

Can't wait to see you all!

Showing some of the art activities that we have done at The Spectrum these past couple of weeks!

An affirmation book to remember our value. Color your pride, however they want to express it. Rock painting to create and share our art. And we have a few more planned!
