This is The LGBTQ Resource Center at Southern Illinois University has set up a “Queersgiving.” The goal is to give LGBTQ people a positive Thanksgiving experience before heading home to potentially intolerant environments.
The event is potluck style, and some catering from Townsquare Market will be provided. There will likely be music and activities. All students, faculty, and community members are welcome to attend.
