ABOUT US

MISSION STATEMENT

To strengthen, inspire and entertain the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community of BC.

What’s On! Queer BC is a Vancouver-based online magazine and resources catalogue featuring queer stories, news, events and resources links important to people living in the BC Lower Mainland. These include resources and news of interest by and for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two-spirit and Intersex communities in Metro Vancouver, The Sea to Sky and Fraser Valley as well as BC Islands and BC Interior.

We publish articles about virtual and digital events, performances, happenings and culture of interest to the Queer community in the BC Lower Mainland. Listings are free for local events, businesses and services.

ADVERTISING

Advertisers are welcome. Please see our Advertise With Us page.

SUPPORTER ARTICLES

While we offer free articles to local queer businesses, services, and productions, we also offer Supporter Articles to paying clients. These articles pay a small fee for publication on our site, and this fee helps keep What’s On Queer up and running. We are grateful to advertisers for their support.

All supporter articles are published in the What’s On Supporters area near the footer.

Disclaimer: Articles in the Supporter Section of our magazine are submitted by clients and represent 90% of the financing for this community website. As editor, I do veto some articles and topics as inappropriate, and always offer to write the article for them if they are uncomfortable with 2SLGBTQIA+ topics and community. However, I personally love to ‘game’ and so I accept casino and gaming links. We do not accept adults-only material on this magazine.

We do not use Google Adsense. I prefer to curate my own banner ads, and I feel Google is not only a monopoly (which is never healthy) but also a bully (which is common with monopolies).
