Queer groups and gatherings

Queeruption, which takes place in a different city each year, has been hosted by Berlin, Rome, London and Barcelona in the past. In 2004 and 2005, a festival held each summer in Olympia, Washington called Homo-a-go-go, which features queer films, zines, performance and musical groups during the week-long event. A group of queercore bands toured throughout the U.S.; the tour was called Queercore Blitz and was yet another way to connect the like-minded.
