“I really love what this festival represents. I love that it is an opportunity for us to get dressed in our wears. Come out in our lavenders. And be here for each other, to see films that are for us, by us, that represent us. It’s nice to see yourself reflected on a screen, not through somebody else’s lens, but through our own lens.” @hollywoodjade
Queer community thrives when we have places to gather, connect, and celebrate. Your support helps us create more opportunities for connection, belonging, and collective joy.
