Bt+ wouldn't be possible without the people running it. We believe that leading an open, mask-off presence is important to gaining our members' trust. Our staff is comprised of the following people.
Ally Kotetsu
President - she/they
Ally Kotetsu is the president and founder of Beyond the Plus. She leads the board of directors and spearheads the organization as a whole.
She started her activism journey in 2023. After being forcibly outed online, she knew she couldn't just sit back and watch as it happened to others. Her activism goals have changed a lot over time, but now she knows that the best way to support the wider queer movement is to create in-person community that can support each other. Beyond the Plus is her life's work, and she spends most of her time working on it.
You can reach her at president@beyondtheplus.org.
