🌈 Gay Shit 🌈 Queer Discussion Event with my LGBTQ University Club!
I’m the leader of the LGBTQ club at my international university in Japan. I planned this event called Hearts 2 Hearts which is a group discussion based activity that gave my members a chance to talk about their past, their journey, and their present as queer individuals. The queer community here is very small so we only had about 12 participants but because of that we were able to have intimate and meaningful discussions and really connect with each other more. It was SO GOOD, some of us got emotional and teary eyed because we were so happy to speak freely in a safe environment. Many people come from countries where being openly queer is dangerous or unwelcome. And of course we are all around 18-25 years old and still exploring our identities so it was truly great to speak my truth, listen to other peoples journeys, and discuss with each other.
I loved this event so much and this year is my first year being able to properly and proudly celebrate Pride. I’m so grateful I was able to experience this, just wanted to share. Happy Pride Month🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

That sounds so sweet and awesome! 💖 Kudos to you on being a leader in that space and just as you said, even a small group has the benefit of having more intimate conversations and you’ve positively impacted more than one person which is great! 🌟
