/ about
BETTER TOGETHER is the 2nd annual Queer & Trans Al-Anon Day of Recovery Everywhere (QT ADORE), a full day of speakers, workshops, panels, fellowship, and more, sponsored by the Queer & Trans Al-Anon Family Group in Philadelphia, PA.
QT ADORE has one primary purpose: to share the experience, strength and hope of Al-Anon members who identify as trans, queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, non-binary, genderqueer, intersex and gender non-conforming in order to help one another in Al-Anon. All are welcome here. We seek to be a safe space for people of any age, race, ethnicity, class, religion, spirituality, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, presentation, size, and disability. As in Al-Anon, the only requirement for attendance is a problem of alcoholism in a loved one or friend. Anyone who has been affected by someone else’s drinking is welcome!
