OUT to Lunch

Every month (at least once a month) I take someone out to lunch. Not just “anyone” but specifically someone who disagrees with me, doesn’t understand, or feels fearful of transgender issues. I’d especially love to have lunch with people who have LGBTQ+ loved ones with whom they struggle to understand, love, and get along with. I’m happy to be a sounding board for all of the questions, concerns, and fears you have that someone’s family members absolutely don’t want to hear. I’m happy to answer all the inappropriate questions that someone was every wondering about being transgender. AND ALSO the goal of these lunches is not necessarily to change what anyone believes. It’s just to sit down & get to know one another; to share our stories & to listen to one another. I want to laugh, have a good time, get to know a stranger, and slowly remind all of us that differing views doesn’t constitute an “enemy” we need to stamp out, avoid, or belittle.

Will you go to lunch with me?
