and to @queerestuaries who will be facilitating a community art build during the show 🎨
Reminder that this event is open to all ages! And the purpose of the program is to address the importance of drag culture to Queer culture, and to emphasize the inhumanity of anti-Queer policies such as the recently implemented drag ban (SB 12).

As our community continues to navigate the constant anti-LGBTQ policies that are pushed by the Texas state government and the federal government, we must continue to create and maintain programs that help us grow closer, become more organized, and provide material support the people in our communities that are the most impacted. And we can only sustain that work as a COMMUNITY 🫶🏾🤞🏾

QUEENs (Queer Unified Emergency and Empowerment Network) of Houston is a Black Trans led coalition of LGBTQ+ serving organizations based in the Houston area. Our mission is to proactively support and empower LGBTQIA+ organizations to ensure effective, inclusive, and equitable emergency and crisis response strategies for Houston’s LGBTQIA+ community–with a focus on the hyper-marginalized.
Our work has mostly focused on building up collective queer power through coalition, and we base our efforts on the pursuit of queer justice - meaning that we recognize that we must strive to TRANSform the patriarchal, racist, and transphobic systems of oppression that are currently dominant in our society. Not just because of the sacrifices made by our Trans ancestors, and not just for the sake of being visible- but because Trans people, like all people, are entitled to a life of dignity, self-determination, and autonomy.
Don’t just strive to make sure that Trans people are visible in the community, but do everything you can to protect the right for Trans people to EXIST 🩷🩵🤍💜✊🏾
We’re excited to be part of something important for our community 💜

Over the course of 2025, 21 people died in custody at the Harris County jail. It’s only February, and 2 people have already died this year. Investigations have revealed systemic failures, rulings of homicide, and repeated non-compliance with state safety standards.
At two recent vigils, we gathered to support the families, to say the names of their loved ones, to grieve together, and to call for real change. Human dignity is not optional. Accountability is not radical. Care is not controversial.
We will keep showing up. 🕯️

This year, we will be using a form to keep track of and help organize the many LGBTQ+ servicing events and programs that are held in the greater Houston and surrounding areas. This way it could be easier for our community to plan for and attend the events that are meant to build up and connect our communities to the many organizations that are in our city.
If you are a part of an organization and/or organizing an event that caters to or serves the LGBTQ+ community in and around the Greater Houston area, please fill out this form so that we may add the event to our calendar. Submissions are due at least 48 hours in advance of the 1st day of the next month.
(Since this is the new year, we will be keeping the form open to submissions for January 2026 until the 4th of the month!)
We hope this resource serves our community well and makes everyone’s year feel wayyyyy more fulfilling 😌

Save Our Sisters United and QUEENs of Houston offices will be closed and our staff will be on a holiday break starting tomorrow, December 20th, until January 5, 2026! 🎄✨🎆
While we may not be available to respond to emails and DMs immediately, we do have a few more planned announcements and updates that we will be sharing via our social media and newsletter, so be on the lookout for those messages as we close out the chaotic yet clarifying year that has been 2025.
That being said, we wish everyone in our LGBTQ+ family a Happy Holidays and New Year! We will see you all again in 2026, and hopefully this period of rest allows us to return with a greater capacity to do the work we all need to do in order to make our city a safer and more humane place for all of us 🤲🏾❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
