We are so excited to partner with and for this reading and author talk!

Join author Jeffrey Dale Lofton for a conversation with Nat Slater about his book Red Clay Suzie, the coming-of-age story of Philbet, gay and living with a disability, battling bullying, ignorance, and disdain as he makes his way in life as an outsider in the Deep South—before finding acceptance in unlikely places.

This event, co-hosted by the Virginia Center for the Book and The Off Center, is free and open to the public and will be followed by book sales and a signing.

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us in accepting the City of Staunton Pride Month Proclamation! This proclamation celebrates our local LGBTQ+ community, the work of the Shenandoah LGBTQ Center, and honors June as Pride Month.

At a time when our civil rights are under significant threat — when hostile policies and institutional changes are pushing many into the shadows — it feels more important than ever to be in community to accept this recognition. This acknowledgement of the many ways our LGBTQ community contributes meaningfully to life in Staunton matters. We urge everyone to carry this forward in action to continue to make this city more just and more welcoming for all.
