🧠 Lecture: Pride & the Cosmos: Polyamorous Galaxies and More

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Moiya McTier

Space is gay as hell, and it’s not just one queer astrophysicist’s opinion. Facts, history, and the cosmos itself back it up. From quantum states rejecting the electromagnetic binary, to polyamorous galaxies, to constellations immortalizing Zeus’s male lovers, the universe offers countless reasons to celebrate Pride.

Join astrophysicist, folklorist, and science communicator Dr. Moiya McTier for a dazzling journey through the queerness of the cosmos. Drawing on her work at the intersection of science and storytelling, Dr. McTier will reveal how our universe challenges rigid categories and invites more expansive ways of seeing identity, connection, and wonder.

Dr. McTier has given hundreds of talks around the world, helped design museum exhibits, and consulted with Disney. She hosts the weekly astronomy podcast Pale Blue Pod, and her second book, Mothers of Invention, comes out this August.

Come explore Pride on a cosmic scale.
