Last year, we shared a game with Charles & Elain and had a fabulous time (in spite of rained out fireworks). This [...]

To strive for a better world, I believe in a society that is non-judgmental; I believe we have to stand up for those not in our own demographics. To that end, I run a §501(c)(3) queer-straight alliance called Brazos Valley QueSt.
Last night, with the love of her life and their best friend just inside the [...]
