HQMK – Here to Be Queer in Milton Keynes
HQMK is our safe, supportive and fun weekly drop-in for lesbian, gay, bisexual & trans youth in MK. It meets at the Point in CMK every Wednesday.
We get up to loads of stuff every week, including the odd trip! In early July we went to London Gay Pride with the team from Pink Punters nightclub. Picture the scene – 600,000 people, a double decker rainbow bus, drag queens and the biggest rainbow flag you’ve ever seen!
In September we’re joining in with Celebr8 – the big event on 21st Sept in CMK – it’s celebrating all the diverse communities that live in MK by having a parade from Campbell Park to the rail station. We’re sure the huge flag will come in handy!
It’s free to come along to the group, sometimes when we go on outings like the cinema or a restaurant, we charge a small amount to cover costs but try to keep them down as most young people are usually skint! Thanks to support from MK Council we have two youth workers at the drop-in.
So if you’re a LGBT or questioning teen in MK and you want to meet new friends and have a laugh, then come along! You can click here for further details or email Jen & John, our Youth Workers at HQMK {at} qalliance.org(.)uk.
