[event] Queers of Color Coffee (11/7 @ 6PM at Amer's)

From Bayrex,

Hi all,

As a gay Puertorrican currently living as a law student in Michigan, I can attest to the fact that intersectionality can be a bitch. Our sensible and brilliant Outleaders agree, and thus we've decided to organize a modest - yet divine - get-together for all queers of color!*

WHAT: An event where Queers of Color can come together and discuss the struggles and richness of living the law as a less-than-easily-reducible individual.

WHEN: Monday, November 7 @ 6:00 PM

WHERE: Amer's (or, "Amer's Delicatessen") on 611 Church St. (link to map)

WHY: I'll be there, and someone else will be paying for coffee. So, why NOT?

Seriously, this will be a great opportunity to discuss issues that are often oversimplified and overlooked in law school: identity, diversity, and a sense of truly belonging. Plus, who doesn't miss a nice coffee-shop post-structuralist debate?

Have a great week, and see you next Monday!

Bayrex

one...)
