We welcome submissions and listings<br />
from community members wherever<br />
they reside<br />
Our focus is BC and the Salish Sea<br />
Our Blue Sky<br />
Imagine a place where<br />
queerness is not just tolerated<br />
– it is celebrated.<br />
Think of the Vancouver’s<br />
Gastown in the 70’s, or the<br />
Castro district in SF.<br />
Services and culture develop<br />
to match the neighborhood.<br />
People are attracted to areas<br />
that match who they are.<br />
350 million North Americans<br />
choose where to live.<br />
That is a lot of queers no<br />
matter how you count<br />
them. Join with us and<br />
build a community near to<br />
you.<br />
