supporting, celebrating, and creating space for our LGBTQ+ fam in Orange County, NY
OCQC’s mission is to cultivate community for LGBTQ+ residents of Orange County, NY and their allies through gatherings that prioritize collective visual, literary, and performance art. We unabashedly celebrate trans and queer joy, embrace our beautiful diversity, and provide a space for folks to experience solidarity and the freedom of authenticity.
OCQC envisions a world in which all humans, regardless of sexuality or gender expression, are able to be their authentic selves in every aspect of their lives – without fear and supported by a vibrant community of LGBTQ+ folks and allies. We long for a world free from the systemic normativities, phobias, and -isms that leave any group of people marginalized or oppressed.
we aim to be the queer/trans communal living room for OC, with an artistic bent
sometimes it is all sunshine and rainbows, and we’re here for that
we purposefully and proudly honor BIPOC, trans/non-binary, & disabled folks
sometimes this world truly sucks, but we’re here for you, and you are free to be fully you when you’re here
We promise to bring fun, engaging, celebratory events to you very soon. In fact, we are planning a collaborative open-mic event with OUTNewburgh-Beacon for summer 2024. Stay tuned and follow us on Instagram (@ocqc_ny) for updates and event announcements.
