queer

Queer communities are deeply divided by our differences, but the need for unity and solidarity has never been more imperative.

As we close out another Pride Month, I reflect on what Pride means to me, why I think it's important for all of us, and why I don't think the end of "Pride Month" should change anything.

Welcome! This is the website and blog for Beyond the Plus, a Washington state based queer organization. What differs us from other queer organizations is that we don't limit ourselves to the letters of LGBTQ+; we welcome all orientations and identities. To learn more about our values, please see our About page.
