Homospun Collective…celebrating queer community in victoria, bc
We strive to create a space that is safer for folks. We do recognize that it is impossible to create a completely safe space. In our activities, we envision space that is pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-gender-queer, pro-ethnic, cultural, and racial diversity, a space that is welcoming and friendly for folks with different body types, ways of presenting, different abilities/different ways of moving, folks who are poor and low-income, and different belief systems. We oppose all forms of oppression, and work towards being as accessible and inclusive as we are able. We hope to be constantly challenged to continue learning and developing our anti-oppressive policies and practices and encourage those in our communities to do the same.

Out of the Closet is an Enterprising Non-Profit, and the prceeds will be funnelled to support their mandate of "promoting queer visibility, culture and community," as well as building links with organizations that share a concern for social justice. The hope is to help build bonds within a community where people often feel isolated and in need of support.
