Owned by

Places and spaces (physical and digital) that are owned and/or run by feminist queers

Required: location, typical open times of day + year (if applicable), detailed accessibility info (examples below), languages spoken, and CWs/TWs (if applicable).

Example accessibility description #1: ground-level venue, completely accessible by wheelchair, substance-free, all ages, most events free, <10 minute walk from nearest public transit.

Example accessibility description #2: multi-level venue, ground-level accessible by wheelchair, no accessible bathrooms, 18+, free during the day + evening events ticketed, ~15 minutes from nearest public transit.

Cool stuff to mention in descriptions --> helpful for people to understand how they can fit into the space:

• What kinds of folx frequent the space? (ex: queer POC / transmasc / cis white / femmes / mostly aged 25 and under / mostly aged 50+ / relatively wealthier / low-income crowd / artsy / business-y / parents / ...)

• What kinds of (queer) self-expression are represented here? (ex: lots of makeouts, outfits are important, great for conversations, drag + gender variant presentation celebrated, family-friendly, good to visit alone)

If you think a space qualifies (queer-operated, very queer-friendly/queer-centric space, good inclusive vibes) but you're not sure if it's queer-owned, feel free to add it! but please tag it: [de facto] in your description, and consider explaining what made you add it in your description.
