Oct. 6th, Mon 8PM, sliding scale 2504 San Pablo (near Dwight), Berkeley
where we can choose our own gender or redefine our own sexual identity
Loving openly and freely in this day and age is a political act. We are
conditioned by outmoded social norms that limit our perceptions and shackle
us to unhealthy cycles of dissatisfying relationships. Yet we live in a time
where we can choose our own gender or redefine our own sexual identity.
Isn't is safe to assume that we also have a right to decide what kind of
relationship is more suitable to our lifestyle? Declare yourself a
revolutionary of the heart. Find out how you can expand your potential to
love, radicalize your lifestyle, and together we can threaten the social
fabric of patriarchy!
