QUEER TALKS: Queer & Disabilities
As the queer community gains visibility in society, we need to consider other marginalized identities often overlooked in our narratives. Have you ever thought about the intersectionality between queerness and living with disabilities? Our queer identities are multifaceted and diverse; we are feminists, we are queer; we are disabled and we are beautiful. We all live different truths and different lives, meaning that the need to support each other is crucial. How can members of the queer community be better allies for one another, supporting a myriad of different identities?MORE…

QT Share: Queer & Religion
Concepts of the inner Queer and religious institutions have flourished alongside each other for centuries. Are our Queer identities affected by religious and social elements? On the other hand, has the persistence of Queer society affected the religious traditions it’s surrounded by? Just as religion affects society and society affects religion, we are unable to talk about Queer identities and gender awareness without talking about religion. This week at Queer Talks Share, we open the conversation on the relationship between religion, social constructs, gender roles and identity. There will be a few special guests sharing their experiences on Queer and Religion. See you this Sunday, 29th of October, 5:30PM Happy Hour@Roxie!

Queer Talks – Trans*
QT Film Nights are back! This time, our topic is TRANS* (an umbrella term that refers to all of the identities within the gender identity spectrum) and we will watch “Real Life Test” a documentary by Florencia P. Marano. A total of 5 interviews dynamite the foundations of the dualism prevalent in society: men – women, homo – hetero, normal – weird… There are as many shades between man and woman as between black and white. Gender is a construct, tear it apart with us!

Queer Talks – Shades lII: Racism
To some extent, almost everyone has heard the phrase: “That’s racist.” But, what does racism look like? Is it an obvious and violent act or mostly accidental and uniformed? Is there a difference between racism and prejudice? Does historical and geographic context matter when we talk about racism? Why or why not? Join QT in the last installment of a three part talk exploring intersections of race and identity.
Date: Sunday 30-April
Time: 5:30PM
Venue: Roxie
359 Kangding Rd 2F near North Shanxi Rd
Queer Talks – Shades II: Colorism
How do you define beauty? Often, our beauty standards are shaped by social influences and history we are exposed to from a young age. Media and advertisements consistently bombard us with whitening products, telling us: “the whiter the better. And then there’s the moment when tanning products were not widely received by Chinese netizens. Should a boy decide to use cosmetics? If he does,is discrimination a guarantee? “BEAUTY” intersects skin tone, gender, class…everything that we assume is equivalent to aesthetic. Join us on April 16th, to talk about colorism and mainstream society’s (unattainable) standards of beauty in the queer community.
Date: Sunday April 16th
Time: 5:30PM

Queer Talks – Films & Femininity
Join us for our first QT FILM NIGHT!
Topic:
Dichotomy of female representation in media
Introduction:
How does mass media influence our culture and values? Roles of women are often portrayed as dichotomies in mass media (i.e., temptress vs damsel; virgin vs slut). Do these roles perpetuate or debunk stereotypes? How does power, control and violence come into play with these gender roles? What is a healthy sexual space for women? What can positive female roles look like in media? Join us for a fun QT Film night special and short film screening “The Driver” By Matthew Baren! Feb 5th Sunday 5:30PM at Roxie.
Queer Talks – Sluts & Virgins
Queer Talks is a discussion-based bi-monthly bilingual event focusing on a different topic every two weeks. We provide a safe space to LGBTQIA individuals in the community to voice concerns, share stories, reflect and discuss each topic at hand.
If someone calls you a “slut,” what is the first feeling that overcomes you? A sense of shame or embarrassment attached to your love life, or a sense of pride attached to sexual success and prowess? In the second installment of our series on Shame, Queer Talks will look at how we internalize shame based on our sexual identity, our bodies, and how these perceptions could also be shaped by those around us.

LOCATION: Cambio Coffee, 280 Aomen Road, near Changhua Road
LGBTQ+ people over the world live two very distinct realities: as members of groups with similar goals and desires, and as individuals facing their own needs and dreams. How do you identify being part of a community, and do you find yourself in agreement or at odds with that community? For our first Queer Talk of the season we wish to explore the relationships between queer individuals and the communities they comprise. MORE…
