There are still people who believe the answer is to make others feel smaller so they can feel more comfortable. We believe the opposite. The world becomes better when people are free to live authentically, love openly, create boldly, and find joy without apology. Our hope is that you feel seen. That you feel heard. That you remember you are worthy of love, belonging, and kindness. Your light doesn’t take away from anyone else’s. It makes this world brighter. That is a non negotiable queen.💅🌈💛 We love you 🥰 please check out our website Qccnwa.org 🔗 in bio

In a world that chooses hate, choose love. Love is an act of courage. Every time we choose compassion, community, and care for one another, we help create the world we want to live in. 🤍 Please check out Our website At Qccnwa.org We love you 🥰

In a state that has passed some of the nation’s most anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation. In a City where, just six years ago, a Confederate statue stood in the middle of a town square. In a state where too many leaders have worked to erase our stories and repeatedly target the trans community. What gives us hope is this: we still come together. We create art. We reconnect with our inner child. We build lasting connections. We celebrate queer joy. That’s the heart of Queer Craft Corner. Our mission is to create a safe and healing environment that encourages love, connection, and creativity through arts and crafts. Every gathering is a reminder that our community is resilient, worthy, and beautiful. Help us continue creating spaces where every LGBTQIA+ person can belong. Donate today at QCCNWA.org. 🌈🎨🫶

This is the story behind The Float. 💕💅 We wanted to create a Pride parade float that showcased how much we love our community. Instead of buying new materials, we repurposed what we already loved. The tablecloths lining the float once dressed the tables at Pizzeria Ruby where families, friends, and queer folks gathered for meals. I kept them, knowing one day they’d be part of something bigger. The Pride bunting once hung outside the pizzeria Ruby building, but when a stranger objected, Meredith, the owner, moved it inside, keeping it up all year as a beacon of love. We added it proudly to the float. We flew three flags , lesbian, all-queer, and trans, making sure every part of our community was seen. And at the back, a drawing by Kate the Illustrator , an illustration you’ll also see on the Pizzeria Ruby Pride tees, with proceeds going to NWA Equality. Even those inflatable pool toys were repurposed from Pizza Lottie’s marketing. This float was a testament to our shared past, present, and future. 🌈💫 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 we love you NWA 💜
