Without masks

Abigail Maxwell reports on a weekend gathering of QGSDC

by Abigail Maxwell 8th June 2018

The Quaker Lesbian and Gay Fellowship became QLGF, with a strapline saying it supported the LGBT+ community. Then it became the Quaker Gender and Sexual Diversity Community (QGSDC), and I rejoiced: no longer putting us into discrete boxes with initials – bisexual, trans, intersex, asexual – it could celebrate our common humanity and our similarities with people outside those boxes. Someone might be part of QGSDC who did not identify as LGBT.
