On this day in queer history: Aug 31, 1979

The first Radical Faeries gathering opened in the Arizona desert. Part retreat, part revolution, it birthed a global queer spiritual movement that still thrives today.

A photo of 11 men all brightly dressed in colorful dresses and robes and most have big flowery croens. A group photo of radical faeries and friends.

I just found an old photo of me (back row, center). Totally forgot about this one. I was hanging out with a shimmer of #RadicalFaeries and friends at Easton Mountain I think? We were making fairy crowns.

Be fabulous. Be bold. Be weird. Be joyous. Be faithful to each other.
