Together we can have a lively discussion about death. These discussions are community led and inclusive. Whether you have experienced a death personally, you are exploring your own mortality, open to planning for the future, or you are just plain curious what others have to say or think on the subject. Come out, share what you know, ask questions and be witness to normalizing discussions about death. This event is open to everyone and is a safe space.

Queer Death Cafe
2025-08-20 18:30 - 20:00 | Jim Toy Community Center, 560 S. Main St, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104, United States
Queer Death Cafe is a space where LGBTQIA+ folks can gather to have an open conversation about death, dying, grief and loss. There is never an agenda or theme and while the topic of grief does come up, it is not a grief support group.

Both queerness and death defy tidy categories; they exist in spaces of nuance, transformation and multiplicity. There is something profound in recognizing that dying, like living and loving, is a deeply personal and varied experience- shaped by culture, identity, circumstance and belief.
