In Our Words: A Salon for Queer and Co.

Weekly I will be contributing on the new site called InOurWords blog.  My featured writing is called Serial Dater.

“Serial Dater” is a new series that came in response from a magazine asking Adam Guerino to write a dating column. He realized the irony that anyone would ask him for dating advice and decided to write a dating column based upon the theory that no one should ever ask his advice about dating.

Here is the official Biography of what InOurWordsBlog focuses on.

“Queer activist and literary salon founded in 2011 by Nico Lang and Patrick Gill, with barrels full of assistance from Chicago’s LGBT Change, the Civil Rights Agenda, Queer Intercollegiate Alliance, and, of course, from the queer writing scene. (Note: the opinions of our writers do not necessarily represent the opinions of our partners.) In Our Words Blog is an exciting project that seeks to …bridge the queer non-profit, activist and cultural sectors, in ways that are inclusive and affirming. It is a narrative of our shared history, featuring the stories, creative works and voices of queer writers, young and old, calling for change within and outside of the LGBT community.  And will be a big ol’ hootenanny.”
