Abortion is an LGBTQ issue: it is about bodily autonomy and agency over sexuality. In other words, if you're queer and support reproductive rights, you are not an ALLY; you are IMPLICATED: it's about YOU. (And even if you don't, it's STILL about you - )

Here, Outburst's book group on May 25th is Radclyffe Hall's sapphic classic The Well of Loneliness. Banned in the 1920s, defended by Virginia Woolf, explored recently as trans masc text alongside iconic lesbian text. Just a mad-gorge-queer-drama read. Link bit.ly/3xEHy4X
