The Community Calendar for Queers & those who love them
We lift up events that are safe paces for LGBT+ folks of all backgrounds, that additionally say NO to Pink washed funding
Why are We Here?
Why are We Here?
This is a calendar created by Queers for all Queers (and allies who love them).
The Lavender Calendar was founded by LGBTQQIA2s+ folks who got tired of seeing “Pride” events that are funded by billionaires and mega cooperations. There are so many Bay Area events that create community without the use of Pinkwashed money: So we created a year round calendar to celebrate and uplift those community events. Instead of giving your dollar to a billionaire; give it to a local Queer.
To be on the Lavender Calendar, an event must not receive money from The Civic Joy Fund or its conglomerates. Our reasons for boycotting this fund are expanded on in local news articles posted below.
To be better intersectional allies, we also do not accept events funded by any orgs on the BDS boycott list. We stand in solidarity with our Queer siblings in Palestine, The Congo, Sudan, and all other Queers fighting colonization and pink washing.
Every Event on the calendar agrees to the following statements:
