All Humans Welcome | Queer Wellness

Guess what?! We’ve got a big gay day of quiet offerings dedicated to Queer wellness to help close out Pride Month.

Depending on the day, it can easily feel like hate is having a moment. Like we’re in the middle of a cultural DEVOLUTION.

Like the momentum of equality, kindness, community care for “others” has been tabled in favor of a fumbling clenching to a nostalgic time past.

But not on 6/29

We are proud to be a pretty queer hot spring. On any given day, fantastically gay folks from all walks of life casually meander up & join our pools or work on our team.

⁠

You are couples, parents, trans, non-binary, you name it. And, most notably, you’re just normal humans amped to take a dip and it’s entirely uneventful. Up here, we work hard to serve up two things in equal doses, hot water and safe space. ⁠

⁠

Sadly, it takes work. A lot. Consider this…⁠

“Are you LGBTQ friendly?”⁠

⁠

This is one of the most sobering questions we get. It serves as a powerful & important reminder that there is an amazing community of fellow hot springers who have to ask this question. ⁠

⁠

Not because they are looking for any special treatment at all, but because the most basic decency is not a guarantee. ⁠

⁠

Because at some hotel, or shop or public encounter, services were denied, looks were given, words were said or hurtful actions were taken. ⁠In fact, queer reality is on legislative trial on a daily basis across Utah & Idaho and now the Nation as a whole. When words are banned, books are removed, public spaces are re-named, EVERYONE is exposed to hate.

⁠

It’s a question that most straight folks would never even consider. And it’s time we consider it. ⁠

⁠

Whether by sex, gender, race, faith, beliefs or more, outdated thinking creates other-ness which breeds unwelcome-ness. ⁠

⁠

The next time you go somewhere and don’t ask this question, consider what a privilege that is and what your responsibility is to ensure NOBODY ever has to ask it again. ⁠

Join us for a day of gathering & SAFE SPACE. Yoga, poetry reading, and a poolside concert are your invitation to connect with members of our LGBTQ community.

All Humans welcome.
