KhushDC and the Caribbean Equality Project have partnered for a live four-part social media series inviting the Black and Brown LGBTQ communities to share their journeys and experiences. The virtual event continues Feb. 25 and 28 via CEP’s Facebook Live page.
KhushDC is a South Asian LGBTQ community group serving the D.C. area and the Caribbean Equality Project is a Queens, N.Y.-based nonprofit empowering LGBTQ people of Caribbean origin.
This virtual Black History Month series launched on KhushDC’s Instagram account on Feb. 11 and 18 with events celebrating Black history from a different perspective and exploring Black power as an inspiration for global activism.
The series moves to Facebook on Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. with “Black Queer & Trans Activism: How Did We Get Here?” and on Feb. 28 with “Drag Dinner & Black Activism: Where Do We Go From Here?”

Washington Improv Theatre hosts ‘The Queeries’
Event to celebrate queer DMV talent and pop culture camp
The Washington Improv Theatre, along with the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington DC, will team up to host “The Queeries!” on Friday, April 26 at 9:30 p.m. at Studio Theatre.
The event will celebrate Queer DMV talent and pop culture camp. With a mixture of audience-submitted nominations and blatantly undemocratically declared winners, “The Queeries!” mimics LGBTQ life itself: unfair, but far more fun than the alternative.
The event will be co-hosted by Birdie and Butchie, who have invited some of their favorite bent winos, D.C. “D-listers,” former Senate staffers, and other stars to sashay down the lavender carpet for the selfie-strewn party of the year.
Tickets are just $15 and can be purchased on WITV’s website.
