Queer Bedtime Stories

W hat's your connection to queer history? What role might you play in our shared queer future? Most of us weren't raised with the stories that answer those questions. Here is a chance to change that: the queerest, coziest community event in San Francisco!

This is the bedtime stories reboot you've dreamed of: all the stories are queer! Queer Bedtime Stories is an opportunity to re-seed the fertile ground of your imagination with poetry, memoirs, and history from our people: LGBTQ+ ancestors and creators alive today. Together, let's uncover the richness of the queer yesteryear and, if we're lucky, catch a glimpse of the blossoming tomorrow.

You can come just to listen or bring a reading to share! Readings should be 1-8 minutes long, any genre, and be written by an LGBTQ+ author or center on queerness. Original work is more than welcome!

Doors open at 7:30pm, and the event starts at 8pm.

For the first time ever, Queer Bedtime Stories will pop-up at 465 So. Van Ness (at 16th St.), a new artistic co-op space that is blooming in the Mission. Psst, save the date of December 14th for the space's first open house!

All queer adults are invited to attend. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, and donations are encouraged from those who can afford it.

Accessibility: 465 So. Van Ness is wheelchair-accessible on the ground floor. Mask-wearing is optional.
