Qmmunity: Homoscope Sweet Homoscope

According to my tarot card reading (I pulled the World, which represents wholeness and completion), "People may come to you for help in making a difficult decision or two." Never let it be said astrology.com isn't at least a little accurate, because that's the whole dang point of Qmmunity! Y'all come here needing advice on how to gay up your week, and I give you plentiful choices of sick-nasty queer events happening all around ya. So relax your fists clenched in FOMO and pull up the homoscope for your sun, moon, and rising sign to create a personal playlist of parties, performances, and possibilities.
