Suniland LGBT+ Panel

In honor of 2019 Pride Month, our Suniland store will be hosting a LGBT+ Literary Panel! The panel will be made up of writers and readers in the LGBT+ community who want to talk about their lives, their work and the ways they inspire and foster a supportive community of sexual diversity. The panel will get the conversation started but you will keep it going!
