Get Shit Done - SQSN
Get Shit Done - SQSN
October 6, 2026 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
114 - living room
This event is intended for Queer and/or Trans survivors:
Some of the biggest barriers to survivor safety are finance related. While we do our best to put cash directly into survivors hands, in tandem, we thought it would be awesome to create a body doubling/coworking space where we can support each other in sifting through all the shit that goes into getting financial stable. And offer relevant financial resources as we find them!
That’s why we host our “Get Shit Done” evenings. They will occur the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month and be available in person or online (must register or email advocate@lgbtqcenterofdurham.org for the virtual link).
If you or someone you know is a money expert who wants to share their knowledge with queer/trans survivors, please reach out!

Second Nature viewing
Second Nature viewing
October 10, 2026 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
114 Hunt Street
Join us for a community showing of this film. You are welcome to bring your own refreshments. This virtual experience is hosted by PEN America, benefiting Allies in Arts, a non-profit organization supporting women, BIPOC, and queer artists in all mediums through education, grants, exhibitions and mutual aid which is leading a national tour of the film as a suicide prevention resource for LGBTQ+ teens.
From PEN America:
On Saturday, October 10th at 3pm (ET), we are hosting an online screening of SECOND NATURE. This critically-acclaimed film narrated by Elliot Page follows trailblazing evolutionary biologist Dr. Joan Roughgarden as she meets scientists exploring the 1500+ animal species who engage in same-sex sexual behavior and parenting, change sex, form matriarchies, and more, debunking myths that females are “inferior” and that being queer is “unnatural.” (Check out a trailer for the film here).
The screening will be followed by a Q & A conversation with Elliot Page, director Drew Denny, Dr. Roughgarden, and authors Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson (And Tango Makes Three), moderated by Jonathan Friedman, PEN America’s Sy Syms managing director for U.S. Free Expression programs. In addition to the film, they’ll discuss censorship, from bans on picture books (including And Tango Makes Three, a fact-based story about two male penguins raising a chick together) to non-fiction books, including in the sciences.
While we offer this to the public for free, please consider providing financial support to Transforming Families NC a program of the LGBTQ Center of Durham providing support to caregivers of trans and gender non-conforming youth of all ages and to Allies in Arts.
