We are thrilled to see that the 90+ authors at Naked Heart: An LQBTQ Festival Of Words include both local heroes and visiting legends. Come on out and meet Samuel R. Delany, Maureen Hynes, Jessica L. Webb, Onanankkwaap, Sage Lovell & Teddy Syrette (among so many others).

Founded last year, Naked Heart is already the largest and most diverse LGBTQ literary festival in the world. You’ll uncover works that use story as a catalyst to resist oppression, explore desire, increase love & heal trauma for anyone whose gender or sexual identity doesn’t fit society’s narrow limits and expectations. This year’s program includes panels, interactive workshops and readings. All spaces are wheelchair accessible, and subsidized passes are available to those who need it.

Don’t miss a minute of it – get your festival pass here.
