WATCH: How poetry brought Phoenix's queer community together
The group thems. started out as a weekend market and has since exploded by using poetry and other art to build up the community.

Hi Kiki family-
It's been a wild week at LOOKOUT. Not only do we have three community events planned for August, including our community business event tomorrow, we also are getting ready to announce OUTWATCH, our annual party in October that celebrates queer resilience and brings the community together. We'll also be printing our fourth issue of LOOKOUT Magazine.
We're also super excited to announce that LOOKOUT is partnering with close to a dozen local LGBTQ+ news organizations across the U.S. to deliver week-of coverage. More details on that coming soon.
All that to say is that this small newsroom of two people is working around the clock to do some amazing events and hard-hitting journalism to make sure you are all informed, represented, and seen.
If you didn't get to read the Q&A about us in PEN America, check it out.
Thank you for being on this journey with us.
-Joseph Darius Jaafari
