Queering Love Zine Workshop

Join Orange for a workshop about the feeling you get when you look at your cat sleeping and you know that you would lay down your life for them (and that they would probably let you and that that's okay). The rushing heart-beating feeling you get when two of your favourite people on the planet both show up to the same queer Muay Thai class and you weren't sure if either of them were coming. The feeling you get when a housemate knocks gently on your bedroom door and says “shall we get takeaway tonight?”
