Nine years ago, a Supreme Court ruling made same-sex marriage legal in the U.S. of A. While progress has been up and down since then – oof, actually it’s been more down than up – the historic moment marked a turning point for the queer community legislatively. As the office who issued Texas’ first gay marriage license, the Travis County Clerk’s Office celebrates the 2015 ruling with a whole week of free wedding ceremonies. Check countyclerk.traviscountytx.gov for further details on marriage license deadlines, specific locations, and other bureaucratic minutiae – and I’ll bring the rice! – James Scott

With crochet being a hot girl hobby now, it’s clear the textile arts are no longer – maybe never were? – just a household chore. Mending clothing with patchwork or darning not only strengthens, but also adds adornment and interest to an otherwise basic piece. Plus, Dougherty Arts Center says, quoting queer publication them., “needlepoint is likely the campiest art form in human history.” This Wednesday, DAC’s Cidnye Stott teaches a mending class à la Pride Month, “queering the idea of fabric and thread itself … Textile Arts have a deep thread interwoven with Queer history, from challenging gendered connotations to demanding visibility from those around them.” The event is free, and though you’re recommended to bring your own supplies, DAC will have some on hand. – Lina Fisher
