A while back ( September) I met a cool poet on Twitter after I tweeted a link to one of his Youtube videos, a poem casting the story of Joseph in a transgender light. He suggested we should host a Twitter conversation about being people of faith and also being LGTBQ people, and we came up with the hashtag #qfaith for the purpose. After a few more such chats at irregular intervals, with a few other people taking turns co-facilitating, we all decided to make it a regular weekly thing.

So for anyone who is religious and TLBGQ, and is looking for spaces/discussions that invite both of those aspects at once, we're holding #qfaith chats on Twitter every Sunday night at 6 PM Eastern Time ... or 3 PM Pacific Time, 11 PM GMT, and if any of my relatives in Cyprus are interested, 1 AM Eastern Europe Time. (The offsets will change, of course, as each area goes into and out of daylight saving time / summer time. It'll be 6 PM Eastern Time whether that's EST or EDT.)

Tonight's topic is, "How do you define love?" (@charolem and I will be facilitating.)
