The organizers had a shared passion for themed parties, supporting local artists and giving back through mutual aid and we figured, why not combine all three?
Back in 2022, we were connected with the owner of Fort Greene Bar, in Globeville. We explained our vision – themed party for a cause where 100% of proceeds would go back to a grassroots LGBTQIA+ serving organization. Even though we were complete strangers, the owner took a chance on us and let us take over the bar one evening for our first event, “MasQUEERade: A Queer Prom”. The proceeds from this event went to Fortaleza Familiar, a non-profit that supports Latinx/Indigenous queer and trans youth and their families. The event sold out about a week out from the event and was a huge success. We thought, “I guess we should do more?” It was obvious there was a need for more sapphic spaces that are inclusive and accessible, so we rolled with it and have been organizing ever since.
