This whimsically edgy comedy follows teenager Megan (Natasha Lyonne), whose suburban existence filled with friends, cheerleading, and all-American fun is upended when her straight-laced parents suspect she may be a lesbian. In a panic, they send her to True Directions, a "rehabilitation" camp run by the strict and prudish Mary (Cathy Moriarty), to mount an intervention led by counselor Mike (RuPaul Charles). Megan dutifully follows the program--until she develops feelings for another camper in this timeless, satirical romantic-comedy about self-acceptance and love, costarring Michelle Williams, Clea DuVall, and Julie Delpy.

BQC Sacred Misfits: Spirituality on the Margins is a peer-led group for anyone interested in exploring spiritual practices outside of dominant religious frameworks. We center queer, trans, and other marginalized voices while creating space for self-inquiry, sacred play, and community connection. We gather to study divination, explore our weird spiritual selves, encourage stepping outside the mainstream, and find community beyond the binary, the dogma, and the gatekeeping. All genders, paths, and vibes welcome. No specific beliefs or experience required—just openness and respect.

Co-presented by Bellingham Queer Collective!

Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning short documentary of the same name (Netflix, 2023), THE DADS chronicles a community of fathers of trans and nonbinary children as they are forced to choose family over country as a powerful anti-trans agenda takes hold in the United States. Filmed over the course of a year spanning retreats in rural Maine and Minnesota, protests, family milestones, a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court decision, and the collapse of gender-affirming care for youth, THE DADS captures this national reckoning with remarkable intimacy through verité footage and interviews with the film’s main protagonists, as documented by Emmy Award-winning director and producer Luchina Fisher and executive producer Dwyane Wade. This is fatherhood as an act of radical love and resistance.

There’s two million bucks in a suitcase on a desk in an apartment in Chicago. Caesar’s (Joe Pantoliano) a guy who launders money for the mob. Violet’s (Jennifer Tilly) the woman he’s been keeping the past five years. Corky's (Gina Gershon) an ex-con who just got out of the joint. What’s the last thing that would come between a sleazy wise guy like Caesar and that money? A couple of women with brains to die for and bodies to match. Corky and Violet are about to learn what it’s like when you trust someone with your life.

The area we will be exploring has abundant birds (including owls), as well as beavers, muskrats, bats, and coyotes! Come ready to have fun in the darkness, make new friends, and appreciate all things spooky with other nature loving queer folks!

The holidays can be a complicated time for many queer folks, and this is a space to build local community by sharing thoughts, feelings, and food with new friends! We will bring some snacks to share and “break bread” as a community, but if you’d like to bring a favorite food, whether store bought or home-made, the more the better!
