Join us at the AHA headquarters in DC December 19, 6:30-8:30pm for this talk, discussion, and light refreshments.
Come hear the story of planning a Drag Queen Story Hour in Southern Maryland for Pride that left organizers less than proud of their county. Learn why Humanist and atheist groups should consider organizing a DQSH for their community despite (or maybe because of) the controversy that they cause. You will also take away ideas on hosting a fun, inclusive, and successful event.
