Queer Expression St Pete

Queer Expression (QE) St Pete is a completely grassroots volunteer collective that provides multigenerational community spaces for Queer and Trans folks.

QE serves as a vessel for Queer/Trans folks to both build and share resources by developing programming that introduces community to the restorative effects of contemplative practices.

The Nest, QE’s local community center, hosts programming daily for various age groups.

The Nest has a fully stocked kitchen, a library room including banned books, a maker’s space with free arts supplies, a “calm-down” room, a community garden, a pay-what-you-can washer and dryer, and more.

We’re stocked up on condoms and plan B thanks to @tbafund and period products thanks to @tampaperiodpantry! We’ve also got plenty of narcan and HIV self-tests thanks to @kaoncitymedix 🤍

Our mission is rooted in pleasure activism: we view pleasure as an act of resistance, and believe that reclaiming joy is vital for overcoming the effects of systemic oppression. We create a space for individuals to reclaim their whole and happy selves and dream beyond subjugation.
