Summer camp, with its newfound friendships and fun-filled activities, is not something that everyone had the luxury of enjoying in their youth. If the rise in temperatures makes you nostalgic for spontaneous play, check out C.A.M.P. Q: A Queer-Centered Summer Meet-Up Series from June 9 to Aug. 27. While June is full of larger one-off Pride events, C.A.M.P. Q is a place to foster Pride all summer long. So if chill connections are what you are after, come check out these events.
Seattle’s housing crisis disproportionately affects BIPOC communities, and of those groups, queer, transgender, and two spirit (2spirit) people are impacted even more. In response, Queer The Land (QTL) was founded in 2016 as a collective of QT2BIPOC resisting displacement and gentrification. One of their long-term goals was the acquisition of a house, and on Jan. 15 the goal was realized when QTL purchased a three-story house in north Beacon Hill. The home will be a hub for transitional housing, coworking, community spaces, gardening, and other opportunities.
