Come celebrate the release of:

BORN TO CUDDLE: The Radical Potential of Platonic Cuddling to Overthrow the Heteropatriarchy

Inspired by cuddling with friends, this zine aims to equip all you queerdos out there with tools, knowledge, and perspectives to initiate the physical intimacy you want with whomever you want.
What better day to celebrate platonic love and the ageless act of cuddling than FEB 14 — the hallmark holiday designated by capitalism to fuel the hetero-romance-complex?

Come by yourself, bring your sweetie(s), or all your friends to celebrate platonic cuddling and romantic friendship! We will be collecting donations to help cover the costs to produce the zine.

doors: 6pm
reading: 7pm

Readings by zine contributors:
Tara Hardy
Eddy Sandoval
Emmett Stanfield
Ann Luetzow

There will be a designated cuddle area. All cuddling will be consensual. There will be no pressure to cuddle.

Accessibility Info: The Calamus Auditorium at Gay City is ADA accessible, has two single-stall all-gender restrooms, and is a fragrance-free space. For more information about accessibility at Gay City, please visit gaycity.org/access

It is Gay City’s policy that smoking and use of fragrances are prohibited on Gay City premises. The health of many may be harmed by exposure to cologne, perfume, or other fragrances–which may cause difficulty breathing, migraine headaches, flu-like symptoms and more. These symptoms are not always readily apparent and sometimes show up hours later or persist for days after an exposure.

Coming to Gay City having used fragranced products on your body or your clothing means that those who are sensitive are faced with the choice to stay and get sick or leave and be unable to access important services or do their job. We ask your help in making Gay City accessible to all by coming to Gay City fragrance free.
