explore gender | When: April 20th, 21st, & 22nd, 2001 Where: Tampa, Florida Location: To Be Announced Soon! Were you there? In April of 2000, Living Outside The Box became one of the first and only national conference events to explore the binary gender system as well as the creative and exciting ways people are breaking out of that box to lead more honest and fulfilling lives. Using innovative workshops, compelling academic panels, a diverse group of nationally known artists and speakers, and kick-ass music, the 2000 conference ended with changed hearts and rave reviews. But we're just getting started. Fueling the Fires of Progressive Change, the 2001 event, will expand the fun and excitement started last April. Again the conference will provide an innovative forum for the creative ideas and empowering visions of our community, and the chance to learn from those who are using the pursuit of gender freedom to combat the roots of racism, sexism, classism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia and other social injustices. The message: No one gets left behind. The 2001 Living Outside The Box will open minds, challenge assumptions, and provide each person the tools for progressive change within themselves and their communities. Changing the world was never this much fun! Check back soon for our complete conference webpage including location and registration information, volunteer information, speaker and event schedules, and much more! |

In Our Own Words: The 2000 Conference I haven't been this inspired from a single weekend since my first NYAC conference! - Sarah We were really sad after leaving such a wonderful place and such wonderful people, and wished that we could've stayed so much longer with everyone. - David Living Outside the Box was fabulous! Everyone must go! - Scott I just wanted to say thanks for an excellent conference. I was overwhelmed by such an amazing gathering of positively queer folk. As someone who supposedly 'has it together' I was personally challenged on many levels. Thank you! Thank you! - Paul Thank you very much for a great weekend! - Loren The conference was a BIG success! - Petra |
