June 8: Queer Animal Blackout Poetry

We’ll be at the Big Gay Market in Riverside Park  again, but this year we’re creating Blackout Poetry from published articles about the gender, sex, and sexual diversity that exists in the natural world. Take your poetry home, or leave it on display for others to enjoy.

For our nature-loving community.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community continue to be the most active adult cohort in outdoor recreation, with participation rates above 60% (2024 Outdoor Participation Trends Report). Why not go out together? Let’s cultivate and nourish our community.

Community Guidelines

We provide a safe and fun space for queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ people to experience the outdoors. Allies and family members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome.
