collection that beautifully encompasses the spectrum of queer love in its enclosing, personal, romantic, friendly, caring, communal, sophisticated, banal, simple, pleasurable, individual, complex, complicated, faltering, distinguished, confident, divine, human, redemptive, healthy, holistic, carnal and happy examples. Experience the epitome of QUEER LOVE.

Closing Event Feb 25 4-5P. SELECTED WORKS Liz Asch will read from selected works on Sunday, February 25 from 4-5 p.m. in the Camas Gallery.
