So this is Christmas. Well, not like any other. Oh no, not in 2020. The LGBTQ ATL will ride the weird wave of slow science and uneven government toward the New Year.
This issue of Q ATLus magazine navigates your way with activities, advice, holiday happenings and twists on tradition. Local gaymer guru Gamemaster Herb kicks us off in Q Voices with a call for specifically queer holidays just for us.
Speaking of dumping old ways, Q ATLus finds you at home this week, so we found things to do in town and across North Georgia that might make your heart glad. Q Events lists even more virtual and distanced stuff to fill your calendar.
