A Queer and Tender Guide to Parenting with author S. Bear Bergman
November 7, 2024 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
In celebration of Jewish Book Month, spend a virtual evening with author S. Bear Bergman as he speaks about his newest book, Special Topics in Being a Parent: A Queer and Tender Guide to Things I’ve Learned About Parenting, Mostly the Hard Way. Using his own choices – and errors – by way of example, Bergman offers suggestions for various stages of the parenting journey, from asking “Are we ready to have a kid?” to talking with children about diversity and difference, to questioning gender expectations placed on both kids and parents – all with plenty of humor and compassion.
Attendees will receive a discount code to purchase Bergman’s book. S. Bear Bergman is the author of nine books, the founder of Flamingo Rampant Press, and a frequent consultant on equity and inclusion. Bergman focuses on making trans cultural competency interventions any way he can and navigating the joys and challenges of parenting, including the omnipresent hazard of his children’s Legos.
