I don’t think I’ve posted about this blog enough. This is an amazing space created by people I love and respect. In Our Words is, in their words, “A salon for queers and Co.” From personal, heart-wrenching pieces about love and hardship to political stands and attempts to raise necessary questions, the contributors to this blog spill their hearts out for anyone to read (and comment on.) Some of them I know and some of them I’d love to meet. There is something for everyone posted every single day and I encourage everyone to bookmark the site and check it out whenever browsing the interwebz. In Our Words (n.) - 1. Independent 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 or the community as a whole, which is impossible.) 2. As of July 2012, a project of SocialScope Productions.  Aligned with SocialScope in a mission to make accessible and multi-faceted documentations of the LGBTQA narratives; working together to empower, unify, and bring joy to the community. 3. An exciting project that seeks to bridge the queer non-profit, activist and cultural sectors, in ways that are inclusive and affirming. 4. A community resource that accepts open submissions from queers and allies of all backgrounds. 5. 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. 6. A hootenanny of massive proportions.
