River Glen joined Quirk-e in 2007 and discovered not only a writing and imaging group but a caring community that celebrates and advocates for queer pride and culture. River came out as bisexual in grade 12, but spent most of her reproductive years in a heterosexual relationship growing a family of four kids. In 1997 she left her marriage, came out once again, got a Bachelor of Social Work, and worked with seniors in long-term care and with people living with HIV/AIDS. Now enjoying retirement, she is the proud grandmother of four grandchildren and is determined to leave a more just world for them.
