The Queer Gathering is Tuesday, June 11, 7 pm at Red & Black Cafe, 400 SE 12th Ave. It is a gathering of queers and allies building Magic decks, dueling, teaching each other and learning all we can about the Magical Multiverse.

MTQG gives folks the chance to play an awesome strategy game with like-minded people who are glad to help each other out, take risks, and share new ideas in a queer-positive, inclusive environment! 503.231.3899
