LGBTQ+ Community Valentines Day: Practicing “S(h)elf-Love”

I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.
— Janet Mock, Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More

Let’s gather with fellow queer/genderqueer folx to celebrate Valentine’s Day by practicing self-love — from the bookshelf. We’ll express ourselves on the page, prompted by writers like Jonathan Van Ness, Alison Bechdel, and Janet Mock.
