Queer Calgary

👑 Drag Me To Cowboys is coming to Calgary on Saturday, July 11 and we have our promo code!

Calgary's biggest drag extravaganza takes over Cowboys Music Festival for an afternoon of performances from some of the most iconic queens in the world, capped off with a DJ set from RuPaul herself.

It's a full day of drag, music, and pure joy in the heart of our city. 🌈

Use code QUEERYYC to grab your tickets for just $20, and every single dollar goes directly to Q***r Calgary. That's $20 to see an incredible show AND $20 supporting your community, compared to $60 through the regular box office.

***rQuests

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, and we are thinking of every single person in our community.

We know this is a hard time to be q***r in Alberta. We know many of you are tired, scared, or hurting. We see you, and we want you to know that you are surrounded by people who love you fiercely and will not stop showing up for you.

Being q***r is a gift. Your identity is worth celebrating and worth protecting. This community has always found ways to hold each other through difficult times, and we will keep doing that together.

To every 2SLGBTQIA+ person reading this. You belong here. You are loved. You are not alone. 🌈
