What's your sign? The zodiac question comes up from time to time, esp in the small queer dating circles we're all spinning through. Does the placement of some big gas bodies up in space really mean you're good at solving puzzles, or tempestuous, or ruled by the feet? Probably not, but astrology remains a fixture in the "using mysticism to make my decisions" community, joined by tarot cards, online yes-or-no generators, and people who call themselves empaths. This week, I figured I'd let the stars guide the Qmmunity listings and give y'all your homoscopes: queer events recommended based on your zodiac sign.
