QueerAF | Inspiring LGBTQIA+ stories told by emerging queer creatives8 Jun

How can you live a queer life without acceptance?

In Three Days Grace, Nick begins the story frozen in the gathering dusk of his cramped Parisian room, perched on the edge of his chair in nothing but glacier-white briefs. What unfolds, over just three days is a story that begs big questions of queer life. How do we live a life without acceptance? Are there people beyond grace? What do actions we make under great pressure say about us? We sit down with author Jeremy Bradley Silverio Donato and therapist-writer Aimee Cliff to explore.
