School board member hosts LGBT youth event at her sex shop

Jenn Mason, a school board director for Bellingham Public Schools, owns WinkWink, described on its Facebook page as a “sex shop delighting in expertly curated sex and body products, lingerie, and books.”

“We believe that normalizing, accepting, and affirming all bodies, identities, and gender experiences is an inherently political act. Pleasure is our revolution,” reads WinkWink’s website.

A Facebook event surfaced for a “Queer Youth Open Mic Night” to be held at Mason’s sex shop on June 1 to celebrate “young queer voices” in the community.

The open mic event offers those who are “0 to 18 years old” five minutes “to share poetry, music or a story,” according to the event’s details.

The National Desk (TND) reached out to the Bellingham Public Schools’ board, of which Mason is a director, but was told by one member that since the event is not school-related the board will likely not have anything to say. If that changes this story will be updated.
