Okay, so this isn’t on many Queer holiday lists… but nature. is. queer.

Let’s celebrate how even if “queer” was supposed to be an offensive term, calling us “odd,”… being odd is just darn natural!

“Across the UK, people come together to celebrate, connect, and make LGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people visible in every space: from workplaces and schools to cafés, sports clubs, community groups, and online platforms … every action helps build visibility and strengthen our communities.”
