Colorful Threads

Colorful Threads is a meetup
for people who are queer
and also disabled or chronically ill.

Queer used to be a swear word.
Today, some people say:
I am queer and proud of it.
For example:
Women who love women.
Men who love men.
People who love people.
People who do not fall in love.
People who do not feel sexual attraction.
People who are not just women or men.
Intersex people
Transgender people

This is what we do at the meeting:
We talk to each other
and sew or do other handicrafts.
You decide for yourself what you want to do.
It's okay if you just come to talk.
Or just to do handicrafts.
Or both.

Talking to each other

You will meet more queer people.
They are also disabled, crazy, or chronically ill.
You talk about handicrafts, for example.
Or about your experiences.
Or about how you can be strong together with others.

Sewing and handicrafts

Here's what you can do at the meeting:
Repair your clothes.
Or make them more beautiful.
Sew a pillow.
Or something else.
You decide what you want to do.
Want to know how to do something?
Then Tristan Marie will show you.

Food

There is also food.
The Queer Center prepares food.
It is vegan and gluten-free.
Would you like to bring and share food?
It doesn't have to be vegan or gluten-free.
The important thing is to write down the ingredients.
That way, others will know what's in the food.

Rooms

There are several rooms at the Queer Center:
There is a large room for everyone.
And a retreat room.
You can be alone there.
And there are two more rooms.
You can sew or talk there.
