About this Event
Join us for a meaningful evening of conversation, connection, and reflection as we explore The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs — a landmark book that unpacks how shame shapes the lives of gay men and how healing leads to authenticity, love, and joy.
This inclusive book club is open to all LGBTQ+ identities and allies who want to join a thoughtful conversation about the emotional landscape of queer life. Together, we’ll discuss themes of self-acceptance, identity, and resilience in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Expect honest conversation, moments of recognition, and a community of people who get it. Whether you’ve read every page or are just starting out, you’re welcome here.
