Come together for games, activities, new connections, and strengthening of community bonds. Â

UNITED COLORS: SPIRITS, FOLKLORE, & ACCEPTANCE (18+)
TUES, OCT 13 •  6:30PM – 8:00 PM • NY LGBT NETWORK QUEENS CENTER (ASTORIA)
Day of the Dead (DÃa de (los) Muertos), All Saints Day, All Souls Day, & Fèt Gede are celebrated by many Black and Brown people during November. All of these have deep connections to African or Indigenous spiritual beliefs, merged with Catholic holidays. Why and how? Did your abuela have a table with a white cloth and cups of water? Ever see various people from all walks of life visit a Botanica that has herbs, candles, charms, statues of Catholic Saints and African deities? Do you have an ancestor altar, attended a Voodoo/Santeria ceremony, or sought help from a bruja? Do you feel more accepted as a LGBTQ person in non-traditional religions? Let’s talk about it. For more info email qcenter@lgbtnetwork.orgÂ
