Center for Sex & Culture Celebrating 'Give Out Day' on Thursday

SAN FRANCISCO — The Center for Sex & Culture (CSC) has announced this year’s national day of giving to LGBTQ and allied organizations across the country, “Give Out Day,” is scheduled for this Thursday.

“This year feels different in so many ways,” said Carol Queen, CSC’s co-founder and director. “Every time we look at the news, issues the CSC team has been working on for years (decades, in my case!) are newly volatile, with hard-gotten gains at risk and the things we care most about are in danger: sex education (hell, education as a whole!), the rights of people across the gender and sexuality spectrums and compassionate dicourse about commonalities and differences. All the people who rely on CSC for space to teach or meet seem to be affected too, and all we can do right now is re-commit — on their behalf and yours — to the work (and play!) we do at the Center for Sex & Culture. 

“We document via our archive the movements that have given us the LGBT communities, the sex-positive movement, reproductive justice, the sex worker rights movement, the growth of the kink community, sex-related publishing, our increased understanding of gender diversity and so much more,” Queen continued. “No matter what the future holds, these collections are important now — and the people representing all that who use CSC are, too — because we have been marginalized in the past. This is such an important moment as more and more people awaken to the need to educate, find community and fight for rights. It continues generation after generation. Freedom isn't free, as many have pointed out, and CSC seeks to be a resource center for the world we've all lived, the hidden world out of which that emerged and the world that is yet to come.”

The CSC says groups with the largest number of individual contributors, most money raised and more will get bonus grants.
