Queer As Funk originated from a desire to celebrate diversity through music, serving as a means to spread positivity within the community. As one of the primary queer and non-binary bands in the province, their performances are both lively entertainment and a significant expression of pride and identity.
Over the span of a decade, Queer As Funk has consistently reached out to smaller communities, offering celebration and visibility to queer individuals seeking connection and community reinforcement. They aim to inspire queer youth by serving as examples of successful queer adults living fulfilling lives. Their performances also serve as models for celebrating queer relationships, friendships, and chosen families, evident in the band's palpable camaraderie on stage.
In addition to their advocacy for social justice, Queer As Funk is recognized for their amazing musical talent. Their precise horn arrangements, infectious rhythms, and commanding vocals have garnered acclaim at music festivals and Pride events across Canada.
At a time when the queer and trans community still confronts discrimination, Queer As Funk remains a symbol of hope and empowerment. Their upcoming anniversary celebration promises an evening of love, joy, and impactful music, showcasing a decade of unwavering dedication to uplifting the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
