About this event
What does it mean to be queer and fat?
Join us as we explore the past, present, and future of fat, queer activism and community in the UK.
We'll start with a whistle-stop tour of some fat, queer history.
Then, inspired by our fat, queer ancestors, we will have a chill roundtable discussion about our thoughts and our lived experiences of being fat and LGBTQIA+. For example, how has being fat affected us in our respective queer communities? Do we feel welcome?
Finally, we will look to the future and contemplate what we can do to create a more liveable world for fat queers.
