2018 LGBTQ Conference: Resilience Through Love & Resistance

gay, handsome, kissingIn lieu of featuring a local gay sports club or social group I wanted to highlight the work being done by HBS LGBT Student Association in conjunction with HKS LGBTQ Caucus, HLS Lambda, & QueerEd, all of which are officially recognized student-run organizations of the Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard Law School, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

2018 LGBTQ Conference: Resilience Through Love & Resistance

Each year these groups at Harvard convene to address issues that impact our community. The conference is open to the public and this year will include comedian and writer Travon Free, CEO of The Travis Project, Amit Paley, and Justice Mary I. Yu from the Washington Supreme Court to name a few people. They will have open discussion with topics ranging from Queer Media Voices to Out in the Workplace to something called “Vogue-ology Workshop”.

Students comprise a significant percentage of Boston’s population and if you are attending one of the 60+ area universities and colleges I would encourage you to get involved with the local LGBTQ group. If you are looking for help organizing such a group, I would recommend reaching out to one of the organizations mentioned above or at another nearby university or college.

I want to feature the LGBTQ groups and organizations that help people connect and enrich Boston’s gay life. If you’d like to have your club / team featured, please email me at bosguymail@gmail.com or via FB messenger.

What to do this week February 26 – March 4

Fenway Men’s Event is Saturday, March 10

Fenway Health Men's Event

Fenway Health Men’s Event is Saturday, March 10, 2018

Saturday, March 10th Fenway Health will celebrate 25 years of The Men’s Event and 1,300 gay and bisexual men, transgender people and our allies will attend this important fundraiser at the Boston Marriott Copley.  This year’s Congressman Studds Award Winner is the popular, former Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick. 

A chilling shift in political currents has taken place in the United States since Patrick was our governor and the LGBTQ community has gone from having a friend in the White House to a President who’s policies and actions specifically target the LGBTQ community. It is important for our community to come together and support each other which is one reason Sergio and I will be attending this year’s program. Tickets remain available for the 2018 Men’s Event on Saturday, March 10. To learn more about the event or to purchase tickets visit, mensevent.org.

Much thanks to UB2 Inc for posting such a lovely video of last year’s celebration. I’ve included their YT clip below for everyone to enjoy.
