MinneQ: Coming soon!

Hey, we’re not ready yet. But we’re excited to share some of our vision for this community:

• MinneQ (pronounced Mini-Q) is a Queer social group for individuals in the Twin Cities of Minnesota with in person events and an online social space.
• Our events and culture will broadly cater to ages 18-40, but there is no age limit to be in MinneQ.
• MinneQ is a sober group. Individuals are not required to be sober to be involved in MinneQ; however, MinneQ will never provide alcohol at events. Responsible consumption is permitted when provided by a third party (i.e. an event at a restaurant).
• In person events: sober holidays with found-family, queer brunch, movie parties, craft days, game days (board, video, card), bonfires, potlucks/house parties, adventures to museums and zoos, trans clothing swaps, and so much more!
• This community is explicitly Queer, but not exclusively. We will never gate keep a Queer space because it only shuns away others from exploration.

Our values:

• Queer identities and expression are a form of self expression and a form of resistance
• Queer sober third spaces are needed and lacking
• All bodies are good bodies, and all deserve respect
• Trans rights are human rights
• HRT is healthcare
• Abortion is healthcare
• Trans women are women
• Trans men are men
• Non-binary identities are valid
• Black lives matter
• White supremacy is violence
• Queer love, sex, and family are real, needed, and important
• Sex work is real work
• Kink and slut shaming hurt us all
• No human is illegal
• Science is real
• Climate change is happening
• We believe survivors, every time
• Community safety and harm reduction are guiding principles for our actions and decisions

We are looking for help! Here’s some stuff we are looking for:

• People who can build/run events
• People who are good at networking/are well networked
• People with web admin and/or discord admin experience
• People who have legal experience with non-profits
• People who have a basic level of legalese to help with Bylaws creation
• People who can help with creating a Code of Conduct
• People who are good at art and would be willing to make a logo
• People who want to host stuff (owner of property)
• People who are compassionate and have a desire to give back to their community
