We’re still smiling thinking about our Rotary LGBT+ Fellowship friends who visited us during the Rotary International Convention last year! 🌏

It was inspiring to see how these folks are working together to create more welcoming spaces and impactful service projects for LGBT+ communities worldwide.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community and for your generous support. 💙

We want to celebrate our friend Casey, who joined the Trans Rights Readathon with so much heart! 🏳️‍⚧️

Between March 17–31, Casey powered through an amazing 23 books by or about Two Spirit, trans, genderq***r, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folks. She even donated to Skipping Stone for every book read—how awesome is that?

One favorite Casey wanted to share: “Love After the End,” an anthology of q***r Indigenous speculative fiction edited by Joshua Whitehead. Have you read it or is there a book from the readathon you want to recommend? Share in the comments! 📖
