Election Day will be here before we know it — make your voting plan today!

This year's midterm elections are critical as federal measures around the country attempt to chip away at our rights, especially for our immigrant, disabled, and Trans communities.

In Minnesota, our Voter's Bill of Rights remains intact. Our election system has strong checks and balances that ensure votes are counted accurately. By making sure that every eligible voter has their voice heard and vote counted, we can bring integrity to our election results and swear in a government elected by and for the people. It's more important than ever that you take advantage of those rights!

It's recommended to vote early and in-person if possible! Check your registration status, see what's on your ballot, research your candidates, find your polling place, and more at mnvotes.gov.

Wow, we’re really feeling the love from our community and beyond! Thank you for welcoming Q Minnesota with so much support and excitement.

Here’s the cover of Issue 1. We’re proud to be here, and we don’t take the responsibility of sharing our community’s stories lightly. Q is here for you.

Thank you to our contributors, readers, and everyone who helped bring this first issue to life. And thank you to A.M. Photography for this beautiful cover!

We have a lot to cover this month. Let’s get to it!

WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! ~ 🎤✨

Last month, 16 Q***r and Trans youth took the stage and pulled off something pretty wild: learning, rehearsing, and performing the entire High School Musical Jr. in just FIVE DAYS. 👏

From first rehearsal to final curtain, Team Wildcats brought the talent, the energy, and the undeniable gay theatre kid joy.

Huge thanks to our partners at GREAT Theatre for facilitating this workshop with us!

We’re soarin’ and flyin’ just from these pics. 💜🎭
