Queer Joy as is a form of resistance
Keep Hamilton Queer
Drag, dance floors & safer spaces since 2015.
Our mission
Safer spaces, on purpose
When Hamilton lost its queer bars, the city got a little less fun. So we set out to make every room queer; partnering with bars, theatres and restaurants to carve out and foster safer spaces across Hamilton and beyond, with events and dance floors that are welcoming and inclusive to all.
