LGBTQIA+ ADULT BOOK CLUB
DECEMBER 14 | 7:30 PM ET
Queer Visitors is a new book club for LGBTQIA+ adults—where literature, drag, and chosen family come together. It’s for friends of Dorothy, lovers of language, and anyone who knows the real magic lives in the stories we share—and the ones we live.
So… where did the name Queer Visitors come from?
The club was named after a comic strip L. Frank Baum published in 1904 called
Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz.
Back then, “queer” meant magical, strange, and beautifully different.
For generations of queer folks, Oz has been more than fantasy—it’s felt like home.
So when we dreamed up a book club rooted in drag, literature, and community,
There's no place like Queer Visitors.

DESIGN AN
OZ ARMY
Inspired by The Marvelous Land of Oz, the Army of Oz worksheet invites participants to imagine their own band of storytellers, performers, and protectors of queer joy. Taking a cue from General Jinjur’s glittery rebellion, the activity blends creativity and reflection—encouraging you to design a “storytime uniform,” craft a rallying cry, and think about what it means to lead with courage, humor, and heart in your own community.
CREATE FACES
Inspired by Princess Langwidere from Ozma of Oz, Facing Ahead invites you to reflect on the “faces” you wear in different parts of your life — and what it means to show your true self. Through drawing, imagination, and gentle self-inquiry, this Queer Visitors activity explores how we mask, reveal, and reshape our identities to find authenticity and joy.
