NOLOSE* is a vibrant community of:

fat dykes / lesbians,
bisexual women,
transgendered folks,
and our allies, seeking to
end the oppression of fat people!

>> Wow. NOLOSE 2008 was an incredible experience! Thanks to all the presenters and volunteers for your sweat and expertise. Geleni Fontaine's keynote address is now online. Let's keep the ball rolling! For discussion on this year's conference, help plan the next one, or jump into community discussion, check out our message boards.

>> Y'all helped plan several successful regional one-day events for Feb. 2008 throughout the U.S., Ontario and London. Congratulations!

>> The Fat Girl Flea Market rocked NYC on Sept. 29, 2007 and had an unbelievable turnout. Thanks to all the flea folks who worked so hard!

One way to meet up with fat LBTQ folks in your area is to check out our calendar, and see if there are any events near you. As we don't always know about every single fat and/or queer event, please post info for any groups/events you know of! We have allies all over the world.

We also recommend the fatdykes e-mail list.
