(And fun fact: one of us actually spends half their time in Ottawa\, so yes\, we really do feel at home here ) \n\n\n\n🌈 OUR MISSION \n\n\n\nBeyond creating safe and festive spaces for the lesboqueer community and allies\, our mission is to highlight and uplift female and gender-diverse artists\, from DJs to dancers and circus performers. \n\n\n\n🌈 MUSIC IS THE ANSWER \n\n\n\nQUEEN & QUEER events are safe spaces that prioritize LGBTQ2SIA+ women\, non-binary\, and trans folks while warmly welcoming allies. We have zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind: no homophobia\, sexism\, transphobia\, racism\, or harassment. Our parties celebrate diversity\, inclusion\, and joy whether you’re 20 or 60\, no matter your background\, you’ll always have a place on our dance floor.

SUMMARY:Queer Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Pride was a Protest. \n\n\n\nWe’re angry. We’re frustrated. Pride left us drained\, outraged\, and alone. We need a space to let it out. \n\n\n\nCome dance your heart out with a room full of queers who get it.  \n\n\n\nShake off the anger. Scream\, sweat\, sing\, hug\, and reclaim some joy in a world that tries to keep us small.  \n\n\n\nThis is a night to release\, to connect\, and to be held by our chosen family. \n\n\n\n✨ What to expect \n\n\n\n• A soundtrack built for catharsis: 90s + 2000s pop\, R&B\, Hip-Hop\, Reggae\, Dancehall—songs that make your body move and heal your inner gay kid \n\n\n\n• A sweaty\, chaotic queer dance floor where you can throw everything you’re holding into movement \n\n\n\n• Karaoke\, late-night shenanigans\, and communal chaos because we are weird like that \n\n\n\n• Hugs\, dance moves\, solidarity\, and the kind of queer joy that is\, in itself\, resistance. This is political\, radical\, and necessary \n\n\n\nThis isn’t a party. It’s a survival ritual. It’s how we keep it together\, how we process our personal and collective trauma and how we move through it as a community. We party. We turn rage into rhythm\, frustration into movement\, and isolation into community. \n\n\n\nWe are dropping the ticket prices to $10 in advance and $15 at the door.  \n\n\n\nTickets are limited. Grab yours. Bring your rage. Dance it out. \n\n\n\nFriday\, Sept 6 · The British Hotel · Aylmer \n\n\n\nBe queer. Be loud. Be sweaty. Be there. \n\n\n\n✨ Queering Aylmer’s Usual Vibe? \n\n\n\n\nA high-energy queer dance floor\n\n\n\nDrinks\, food\, bilingual service with a smile\n\n\n\nDrag\, music and deliciously bad decisions \n\n\n\nHugs\, glitter\, and sweaty camp vibes\n\n\n\nUnapologetically loud joy in the heart of Aylmer\n\n\n\nInclusive\, safe space for all genders\, identities\, sexualities and good humans\n\n\n\n\nThe Talent \n\n\n\nDrag DJ Adrianna Exposé is coming in hot with an epic mix of throwbacks and bangers. Expect a high-energy blend of 90s and 2000s pop\, Hip-Hop\, R&B\, Reggae\, and Dancehall—curated for maximum ass-shaking and singalong potential.  \n\n\n\nQueering Aylmer is more than a party—it’s a celebration of queer existence\, resistance\, and community. Part dance party\, part love letter to ourselves\, and part small-town queer magic. \n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, September 6th \n\n\n\nTime: 6pm to midnight  \n\n\n\nLocation: The British Hotel\, Aylmer | Gatineau \n\n\n\nTickets: $10 online | $15 at the door
