SUMMARY:Loud  And Proud - GCLS 22nd Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The GCLS’s annual conference is the premier literary event for both authors and readers. The event brings together readers\, fans\, writers\, editors\, audiobook narrators\, and publishers to celebrate women loving women literature. \nAs lovers of literature\, we understand the power of words. We appreciate how the right words can provide shades of meaning\, nuance\, and clarity of expression. The words we use to describe our identity are particularly powerful\, giving us language to describe who we are in a world that doesn’t always appreciate the rich diversity within the LGBTQIA+ spectra. \nThe way we describe ourselves as individuals is myriad (lesbian\, bisexual\, pansexual\, asexual\, demisexual\, queer\, cisgender\, transgender\, non-binary\, Two Spirit\, et al) and as we understand more about our identity\, personally and collectively\, our language expands to incorporate that knowledge. GCLS is\, and will always be\, fully inclusive of all identities in the sapphic and women-loving women space. We are all welcome. We are all GCLS.
