Tonight we highlight Dirty Queer, which happens on the second Friday of the month at In Other Words. Dirty Queer is celebrating their fourth anniversary on Friday Jan 14! Hosted by renegade writer and poet Sossity Chiricuzio, Dirty Queer is an X-rated open mic has been a place to celebrate sexuality and strut your creative stuff! We hear from Dirty Queers who attended last year’s three-year anniversary, as they tell us what DQ means to them. We also hear Sossity read ‘Outlaw’, from her recently-released Hand to Mouth CD.
