I was one of those people-or at least I felt like we were on a romantic path. But there was one prodigious, meddlesome, elephant-in-the-living-room problem.

Queer Vocal Voices 2.0
Hello! If you can believe it, Queer Vocal Voices on Facebook is a year and a half old! We figured with the changing landscape on Vocal, which has caused low interaction across the board, we would make some changes to the group. Yeah, a glow up! Lets take a walk down memory lane to why we started this group, and what we hoped to accomplish. You coming?
