 come outdoors with me for an LGBTQ plus nature walk. To be in nature just is really grounding. We walked about two miles. We were stopping quite a bit just to take a lot of pictures. We also collaborated with Big Al Backpackers Boise, the body-inclusive free-of-diet culture hiking group. At the very end we had a picnic together. After every outing I just I feel so much joy to be a queer person. Walking on the trail there were so many times where people were like what group are you guys with? The rest would be like oh like we're a queer outings group through the Sierra Club. Being unashamedly ourselves and taking up space just shows me the strength of the queer community. It made it extra meaningful. Having some kind of entry point where people feel like they can try something new in a community of supportive people. Power in numbers is a really comforting feeling. I always just get emotional and also really happy that we all are there together out and proud in nature. Bye!
