(This brief list of upcoming events will be replaced by an actual calendar, with more entries and links for more information on each event. Thanks for your patience as we build on this basic start!)
As suggested in the commonly-associated rainbow symbol, the world's LGBTIQA communities include and overlap with virtually every other category of human beings. There are LGBTIQA people in every racial, religious, national, political and generational group, etc.; and vice-versa.
Therefore, while not all events included in this calendar explicitly mention that rainbow of participants, be sure we are among the audience and participants. The organizers of these events listed here have recognized this fact by requesting to be included in our calendars.
