About this Event

Join us on the last Friday of every month for Queer Speed Date, a fun and safe space to create queer community in all its forms. Unlike hetero speed date, queer speed date celebrates all forms of relationships: friendships, platonic partnerships, romantic relationships, sexual partnerships, family groups, polycules, and more.

How it works

Read the book of the month, come to Under the Umbrella, and strike up conversation with new people! Purchasing the monthly book pick or even reading it is not required. This event also features the Queer Speed Date conversation cards to get the banter flowing.

Cost

- Buy a copy of the book of the month

OR

- Buy a sliding scale ticket from $5-10


Book Schedule

When possible, please support the store and the authors by purchasing a copy here! Most books should also be available at local libraries. One copy of each book is available for free to any BIPOC interested in reading the book but unable or unwilling to pay for a copy.
