Queeraz has been 3 years in the making. It’s a central online platform connecting the entire LGBTIQ+ world. Something that started on a holiday, says founder Ineke Hodge, when she was trying to connect to the local queer community and didn't have any way to find them.

“Queeraz was born on a remote tropical island when I was there with my then girlfriend. Everything was kind of straight and after a few days we were desperate for a bit of ‘gay’. I love hanging out with our vibrant community. Everyone is doing amazing and often creative things. So we were wondering: where are the locals, and where are the tourists?” 

“I did some research and I saw that there are quite a few gay websites out there, but they’re generally quite specific. And a lot of them are focused on dating. What I wanted was a queer life and cultural space. Somewhere that would enable me to easily tap into the local vibe of any city around the world.”

What I wanted was a queer life and cultural space

“See, we have artists, performers, events, bloggers, people doing tours in drag, deejays, we have organizations, people doing cooking classes, people with businesses, activists. It is a really rich and diverse community, but unless you know specifically what you’re looking for it is actually really hard to find it.” “So I realized there is no giant aggregator of queer life an culture around the world. And that is what Queeraz is. It’s here to connect LGBTIQ+ people, resources and communities around the world. Most of all Queeraz is a fun place. It’s here to multiply the magic synchronicities of everyday life. And who knows what’s going to happen form every little connection around the globe?”

“Connecting us all has turned out to be quite a big job. It’s been going for three years now. So we are now working with an amazing team of people around the world in Australia, Asia and Europe to bring this great space to our community. And now we need you. We’re looking for founding members to come join us now.”

“In April we open. Then, when you have anything queer, post it in Queeraz. Then there’s one name we all now, and one space we all go whenever we want a little bit of queer. And then I can find people like you wherever I go.”

Queeraz is crowd funding until March 29th and will open up to founding members in April. You can find more information and join on queeraz.com or join us now http://igg.me/atqueeraz.

The Supreme Court just ruled that gay people who express their love can spend the rest of their lives in prison. But if enough of us build the chorus of outrage, we can overturn this craziness. Add your voice.

In the groundbreaking 2012 documentary “Intersextion”, director Grant Lanhood interviews intersex individuals to look beyond the shame and secrecy that defines many intersex births. The film explores how intersex people “with their very different bodies” navigate their way through childhood, adolescence, relationships and adulthood, when they don’t fit the binary model of a solely male and female world. Here, Pidgeon Pagonis, from Chicago. They are intersex activists fighting for their community’s human right to bodily autonomy and justice. http://www.intersexionfilm.com/
