Attend a queer community event at Under the Umbrella Bookstore!

Join us on the last Friday of every month for Queer Speed Date, a fun and safe space to create queer community in all its forms. Unlike hetero speed date, queer speed date celebrates all forms of relationships: friendships, platonic partnerships, romantic relationships, sexual partnerships, family groups, polycules, and more.How it worksRead the book of the month, come to Under the Umbrella, and strike up conversation with new people! Purchasing the monthly book pick or even reading it is not required. This event also features the Queer Speed Date conversation cards to get the banter flowing.Cost- Buy a Book Ticket (comes with a copy of the book of the month from Under the Umbrella)OR- Buy a sliding scale General Admission ticket from $5-10 (use the promo code speedslide for the $5 ticket)Book ScheduleJanuary | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Loveless by Alice Oseman</a>February | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole</a>March | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lakelore by Anna-Marie McLemore</a>April | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin</a>May | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner</a>June | BYOPoetry Poetry SlamJuly | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">I Hear the Sunspot by Yuki Fumino</a>August | Little Women by Louisa May AlcottSeptember | <a href="https://www.undertheumbrellabookstore.com/product/chang-abraham-888-love-and-the-divine-burden-of-numbers/13561" title="https://www.undertheumbrellabookstore.com/product/chang-abraham-888-love-and-the-divine-burden-of-numbers/13561" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">888 Love and the Divine Burden of Numbers</a>October | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Poison for Breakfast by Lemony Snicket</a>November | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Disintegrate/Dissociate by Arielle Twist</a>December | <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson</a>ContactContact <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">hello@speedyqueers.com</a> with any questions.Follow the official account on Instagram for updates: <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram.com/speedyqueers</a>For questions email <a href="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" title="https://sandbox.square.online/app/website/editor-frame/queer-speed-date" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">hello@speedyqueers.com</a> or contact them via Instagram
