Can allies come to events?

Yes! Allies are always welcomed to come to events.

Are the events strictly for queer families?

“Queer families” is hard to put strict lines on. Does the family have an extended member who is queer? Does the family have members who may be questioning their identity? For this reason, we do not exclude anyone from attending the events. If you are looking for a place for queer families to gather and talk to other queer families, email us and ask about our private FB group for whose who identify as a queer family.

Why use the word ‘Queer’? Isn’t that offensive?

Nothing explains our answer better than an instagram post we came across:

"‘Queer’ saves time explaining myself, and I'm tired. 'Queer' does a better job of being all encompassing than a string of letters of any length. 'Queer' is vague. That's good. 'Queer' doesn't insist on hard lines between categories. 'Queer' means weird - we know... and we revel in it."

The queer community encourages everyone to who they are and not be defined by a label. "'Queer' is vague'. That's good." And we do know queer means weird and we do revel in it. Why would anyone want to "normal"? We know we don’t!

Are the monthly events free?

Generally yes. Occasionally we may partner with a local organization who will charge for an event. Any event fees will be noted in the event details. Our annual Pride Prom event does require a ticket purchase.
