Image Description:
Beth, a white person with dark shoulder-length hair in a half-bun, talking into a microphone, and holding a clipboard on stage at a Queer Diary event. Beth is grinning and throwing one hand up on a gesture of scandalised delight. Behind Beth is a turquoise velvet curtain and softly glowing lamp. The Queer Diary logo is superimposed top left. It's a blue sticker-like circle containing an illustration of a rainbow bursting out of a pink book.

Would You Read Your Teenage Diary Aloud To A Room Full Of People?
A brave group of LGBTQIA+ folx are doing just that at Queer Diary - the night where queers share our teenage angst (and joy, dreams, follies, and fabulousness).
We can't promise to reunite you with your first crush, but we do aim to reignite that rush of adrenaline you got when they first noticed you. Join us in a teenage dreamworld, where we share what was obsessing us all those years ago.
Queer Diary is a space for LGBTQIA+ people to come together as grown-ups and escape cis-het-normativity by sharing our younger selves' innermost thoughts via old diary entries, fanfiction stories, tumblr posts, and possibly the odd bit of angsty poetry!
Sign up in advance if you’d like to to bring something to share, or book a ticket to be in the audience and enjoy the ride, from crush-ville to cringe-town, and back again, via a throwback soundtrack of YOUR favourite school disco anthems (yes, we take requests).
If you are interested in taking part, you'll find some FAQs and sign up form here: linktr.ee/hasbianqueerdiary (to sign up click on the box that says 'share something from your youth at Queer Diary). We ask all readers on stage to self-describe for blind and visually impaired audience members.
This event is themed around memories of teenage years gone by, and is aimed at adult audiences, not young people. It is an ‘open mic’ style event where participants share material written when they were teenagers.
Seating is unreserved as standard. Please let us know by email if you would like us to reserve a seat, and if you have any specific access requirements we can accommodate in this reservation (ie, near the stage/exit/bathroom, etc).
