“Nikkei Queer*: A Workshop on Making Our Spaces LGBTQ Affirming” will take place Thursday, Aug. 18, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Japanese American Service Committee, 4427 N. Clark St.
Participants will work on recognizing and interrupting homophobia and transphobia and, more broadly, taking on more expansive notions of sexuality and gender. This workshop is open to everyone, including people who have little or no experience engaging with LGBTQ issues. Gender-neutral restrooms will be available.
The sponsors are Invisible to Invincible: Asian Pacific Islander Pride of Chicago, the Chicago Japanese American Historical Society and the Japanese American Citizens League: Chicago Chapter.
The event and parking are free; RSVP to Ryan Yokota at 773-275-0097, ext. 222, or RYokota@jasc-chicago.org.
