The next Godless Perverts Social Club is coming up soon — Tuesday, July 2!

Community is one of the reasons we started Godless Perverts. There are few enough places to land when you decide that you’re an atheist; far fewer if you’re also LGBT, queer, kinky, poly, trans, or are just interested in sexuality. And the alt-sex/ sex-positive/ whatever-you-want-to-call-it community isn’t always the most welcoming place for non-believers. So please join us at Wicked Grounds on the first Tuesday of every month, for an evening of conversation and socializing. All orientations, genders, and kinks (or lack thereof) are welcome. There’s no admission, but we do ask that you buy food and drink at the counter, or make a donation to the venue. Wicked Grounds, San Francisco’s renowned BDSM-themed coffee house, is at 289 8th St, between Folsom and Howard in San Francisco, close to the Civic Center BART. If you think you’re coming, please RSVP on the Meetup group. But even if you haven’t RSVP’d, you’re more than welcome to drop in and join us!

And save the date for the next Godless Perverts Story Hour performance event! It’ll be on Saturday, August 31, at the Center for Sex and Culture, 1349 Mission Street in San Francisco, at 7:00 pm. The Godless Perverts Story Hour is an evening about how to have good sex without having any gods, goddesses, spirits, or their earthly representatives hanging over your shoulder and telling you that you’re doing it wrong. We’ll be bringing you depictions, explorations, and celebrations of godless sexualities, as well as critical, mocking, and blasphemous views of sex and religion. The evening’s entertainment will have a range of voices — sexy and serious, passionate and funny, and all of the above — talking about how our sexualities can not only exist, but even thrive, without the supernatural. Our lineup for August 31 currently includes Molly Weatherfield (aka Pam Rosenthal), Victor Harris, Kate Sirls, M. Christian, Simon Sheppard — plus your charming hosts Greta Christina, David Fitzgerald, and Chris Hall, and other readers/ performers yet to be announced! A splendid time is guaranteed for all. So save the date now!
