Men’s Book Club

Men’s Book Club – 2nd Monday of each month, 7pm – 9pm

The Stonewall Columbus Men’s Book Club is focused on fostering meaningful discussions around themes such as gender, sexuality, relationships, and LGBTQ+ experiences. This peer lead program strives to provide a supportive environment for men of all orientations, encouraging open dialogue, mutual respect, and community-building through the shared love of books. Whether participants are seeking to broaden their perspectives or connect with others, this program offers a safe and inclusive space for personal growth and connection.

[As with all our programming at Stonewall Columbus, our book clubs are open and welcoming to all individuals, transgender, nonbinary, and cisgender who wish to attend.]
