Pride Month starts next week and we’re kicking things off with Friend Request, a q***r speed friending night.

Looking for new friends? A new hiking buddy? Someone to grab coffee with? Someone to screen into the void with? Maybe even a new crush? This is for you! We got the snacks covered ;)

Andddddd that’s just the beginning.
Throughout June we’ll also be hosting q***r community storytelling, a Pride T-Shirt Design Contest where the winning design will be printed for Pride in October, a cozy q***r lock in complete with film screenings, pajamas, popcorn, and sleepover vibes, & a summer clothing swap. Plus, we’ll be joining friends for a few special Pride Month collaborations and celebrations along the way! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Pride Month is a chance to connect, build relationships, plug in to things happening in the community and spend time with folks. ✨ the horrors persist and so do we ✨

Dustin was the best of us.

He believed in our futures. Not just in surviving, but in actually getting to have one. The kind of future generations before us didn’t get. That’s what makes this hurt so much more, that he’s not here with us for that future.

He was always bringing people together. Building spaces where all of us could be seen and held, across every corner of this community.

He dreamed big, he made things happen, & he showed up.

He cut our hair. He made us feel beautiful. He made us feel seen. He grounded us and most of all he made us LAUGH.

We’re going to keep building what he believed in.
We’re going to keep fighting for q***r futures that are real and full and ours.

We’ll carry you with us in all of it. Always.

If you’re able, please consider donating to support Daniel, his partner, and his loved ones during this time.

This week’s Community Care Meetup will be a space to come together and share in our grief and honor Dustin.

No organizers meeting.
