Why Queer:
We know this word has been used negatively by those who wanted to hurt us. However, starting in the 80's, as a community we began to reclaim this word for ourselves. Today it represents inclusivity and power.

• It is inclusive of the entire LGBTQ+ community's diverse membership.
• It gives those of us who don't fit squarely into one category a safe place to exist.
• It provides the space to explore identity as we discover who we are.
• It breaks down binaries.
• It brings us together as one community.

 
We look forward to celebrating with you at the Queer Holiday Market!
