'Queer Freedom Everywhere in Soho Square'

Join us at 6-8pm GMT on Tuesday September 1st for a special live book reading in the heart of Queer London with leading LGBT+ writers and activists for ‘Queer Freedom everywhere. None of us are free until we all are.’ Soho Square is wheelchair accessible.

We will be exploring the struggles for queer liberation that are currently ongoing including against the Gay Propaganda Law in Russia and the LGBT+ Free Zones in Poland, and how we should look at and, most importantly, help them, both in our own countries and communities, and from overseas. Donations will be collected for the Moscow Community Centre, Russia’s only year-round shelter for LGBTQ+ people.

Sergey Khazov-Cassia reads extracts from his novel ‘The Gospel according to’ on a story of queer repression and liberation in modern Russia translated in English by Reuben Woolley, alongside Polish LGBT+ activist Magda Oldziejewska and Matt Beard Executive Director at All Out, a global LGBT+ human rights group. The events will be hosted by Dan Glass, activist and author of United Queerdom From the Legends of the Gay Liberation Front to the Queers of Tomorrow.

Please do not forget to bring your masks!
