Date & Time

Description
Queerios is a discussion-based group open to all that focuses on the experience of being both queer and religious or spiritual.
Each week will focus on a different topic! We will start with a
student facilitator-led activity, and leave plenty of room for discussion, dialogue, and community building.
Queerios welcomes participation of all kinds and disclosure of any identities is never required to
join us. This group is not focused on any particular queer identity or
faith-based practice, and will feature topics that highlight a variety of identities and practices present in the UMBC student body.
Our next session will focus on the experience of intersex folks, their unique place in religious texts and laws. The intersection of these identities causes a myriad of interesting deviations from our normal, sex binary based interpretation of religion and Spirituality.
We welcome allies and community members who want to learn how to better support our students.
Snacks will be provided!
