Greta Speaking This Friday in San Mateo! Plus Sacramento, Springfield MO, Austin TX

I’m going to be speaking at Hillsdale High School in San Mateo this Friday, October 17! And I also have speaking gigs coming up in Sacramento CA, Springfield MO, and Austin TX. Details below. If you’re near any of these cities, I hope to see you there!

TOPIC: Coming Out Atheist: How to Do It, How to Help Each Other, and Why
SUMMARY: Coming out is the most powerful political act atheists can take. But coming out can be difficult and risky. What are some specific, practical, nuts-and-bolts strategies we can use: to come out of the closet, to support each other in coming out, and to make the atheist community a safer place to come out into? What can atheists learn about coming out from the LGBT community and their decades of coming-out experience — and what can we learn from the important differences between coming out atheist and coming out queer?

    You’re actually coming to Sacramento? And you’re doing it when I’ll be in Europe?

    Many tongues shall be sticken out at thee. Sticken, I say!

    Ack, I can’t believe it. I’m staying in a hotel about a mile from that school, but but stuck on the job-site until 5:30. That would have made my week.
