Queermunity is an event venue, multipurpose gathering space, and café that caters to LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities in the Twin Cities. Their doors are open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. While there is no charge to enter, there is an optional membership that helps support the space. Queermunity owners, Kayla Barth and Hilary Otey, are working to build a regenerative economy by reinvesting in local talent, organizations, and resources. They also make the space financially accessible to community members, providing important free resources like resume workshops, book clubs, Gay AA, and more. Queermunity is a great space to meet new people, engage in the local arts scene, and simply exist as your authentic self!
