About TQNC

When neighborhood and City community meetings are spaces where we have to invest mental energy into whether we can safely exist as our whole selves in front of neighbors and strangers, showing up can be uncomfortable, and it’s hard to fully engage.

We’ve founded The Queer Neighborhood Council to create a space where LGBTQ+ community members and our allies can learn about neighborhood and Boston matters, be visible to and connect with our elected and City officials, and collectively organize for the City services, support, and changes we need, just like any other resident.

Yes, sometimes that’s queer-specific issues — but it’s also our kids’ education, the upkeep of our sidewalks, construction disruptions, and rats. All the normal day-to-day stuff of living in Boston.
