Friday: Gender (Free) For All Fundraiser @ IOW

Gender (Free) For All will be more colourful than this logo suggests, promise

The *new* TransMarch, our friends at Gender (Free) For All, are holding a fundraiser to help offset the cost of the march/concert/awesomeness/fuck yeah this Friday at In Other Words Bookstore, 8 NE Killingsworth St. Come on drag (your interpretation!), Have fun, mingle, snack, win prizes such as sex toy stuff, tattoo stuff from adorn, massage, pet stuff, and and and. It will be fun! Srsly. Come support this fantastic, liberating cause. Put down that star wars LP you were nerdily eyeing and bring your dollars here instead. It’s way sexier.
