LOVE: GENDER & DISCOVERY

Love: Gender & Discovery featured image

Love: Gender & Discovery is here!

Feeling brave enough to hop onto the merry-go-round of love with us?

Want to tour the rainbow of longing, and dating, attachments, breakups and recouplings that color this dance with others and ourselves?

Maybe you’re already fascinated by the power of love in our lives, grappling with working out and manifesting your place and sexual identity in this ever-evolving cosmos, or just pondering the labyrinth of gendered life?

We invite you to peruse the new and published personal accounts and poems in our Love: Gender & Discovery Series edition, and to be energized by the vicissitudes and fervor of our Sentinel writers. Contribute your story to the mix even?!

Our potpourri of content embraces sheer joy and emotional baggage, pairings that shrink distances and decades, queer discoveries, soulful partings, stereotype smashing, infatuation, and IRL love stories that can’t be pigeonholed.

Come on in ♥
