Throwing Light is a unique talk/meetup that highlights issues we normally shy away from in the LGBTQIA+ community. Transphobia, HIV shaming, fem shaming, drug use, racism and so many more issues that hurt us will be addressed over the course of Throwing Light

. We also will discuss ways to face these issues to improve the mental health in our community through leadership, education, music, drag, and other art. Each talk/meetup is an open discussion of ways to help our community come closer together and understand our challenges. We ask the LGBTQIA+ community to look inward to make the changes we need that will give us the freedom and respect to live our lives. Nothing is off the table. If there is any community issue you want to face, bring it to Throwing Light!

Throwing Light Together Tour – Texas kicks off Saturday, September 20th at the Dallas Eagle!

To help unify the LGBTQIA+ community and get work done in our local communities, we have decided to launch the Throwing Light Together Tour for Fall 2025 in Texas!

After Dallas, the tour will then move to San Antonio in October, both Austin and Houston in November, & Rio Grande Valley in December!

This tour is essentially live community panels, each, for an hour with questions at the end. The panel will consist of local business owners, titleholders, community activists, and members of each city’s community. We plan to have all the panel guests announced before the start of the tour.

The panel topic of these grave discussions will be greatly about how to move forward together as unified front as the challenges we face become more difficult. These are solution-focused discussions. We are aware of our community threats, so we are delving into how we respond to issues in and outside our community.

We could discuss getting bars to work together, creating a culture of kindness, “LGB always with the T,” what community issues should be discussed publicly or privately, social media responsibility, ending defamation, and so much more!

These panel events will be starting somewhere between 5:30pm – 6:30pm. During the tour, free “Together” stickers will be given out. They will be a symbol for unity and reminder that we are under attack and we must stick together.

Full details will be coming in August 2025 and everyone will be updated when those details come. Thank you for your support and excitement!
