HI FRIENDS!
Do you also think Brighton is missing a queer radical space? We’re working to open one within the next few months! We’re currently in the fundraising stage, and there’s still much to do! What will the space be like?
The Queery will be a co-op, owned and run by its members. Its main focus will be the benefit of the local queer community. It will be run in a non-hierarchical way, with solidarity at its heart. A space for queers, by queers. The Queery will have a radical bookstore, a small library, a small vegan café, and a fully accessible sober space available to hire for workshops, talks, classes, meetings, support groups, open mics, film nights and much more! Bills and wages will be paid with the sale of stock and food, but nobody will ever be turned away. The space will be available to everyone! The library will be there for anyone to enjoy, the cafe will sell food with prices on a sliding scale and we will have a Pay It Forward scheme for those who need it. We want to create a space where all queers feel safe and welcome, a place where we can find freedom and belonging, our own little corner in this hostile world. To achieve this, The Queery will have a zero tolerance policy on homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, fatbophia, xenophobia, racism, ableism. We believe in the abolition of binaries, borders, prisons, the state and capitalism.
