Reflect. Create. Connect.\n\n\n\nHosted by Queer Holiday Market | Sponsored by Affirming You Therapy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Queer:\n\nWe know this word has been used negatively by those who wanted to hurt us. However\, starting in the 80's\, as a community we began to reclaim this word for ourselves. Today it represents inclusivity and power.\n\n\n	It is inclusive of the entire LGBTQ+ community's diverse membership.\n	It gives those of us who don't fit squarely into one category a safe place to exist.\n	It provides the space to explore identity as we discover who we are.\n	It breaks down binaries.\n	It brings us together as one community.\n\n \n\nWe look forward to celebrating with you at the Queer Holiday Market!
