Things to do in Denver when you're gay: Element Conversation Series

On January 12, the Denver Element invites you to the latest in their Denver Element Conversation Series - Exploring Body Image.

Evidence shows that American men are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the appearance of their bodies. The male body is increasingly objectified and sexualized in popular print ads. Advertisements promoting weight lifting, exercise products, and underwear are classic examples of this objectification. What role does gay culture play in our perceptions of our bodies? Denver Element invites men of all body shapes and sizes to join them as they explore body image from our own perspectives.

To RSVP, contact Christopher at 720-382-5900 or Christopher@thedenverelement.com.
