Homospun Collective Events is a volunteer-run group that regularly puts on inclusive events in Victoria, BC, Coast Salish Territory for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer, two-spirit, genderqueer, and questioning communities, as well as our friends, allies, and anyone interested in creating alternative spaces to meet, create, dance, relax, and make friends.
We organize community celebrations, dances, movie nights, craft events, and gatherings of all kinds.
*** Regarding the previous wording of our mandate (“We strive to create spaces that are non-heterosexist, non-sexist, non-racist, non-homophobic, non-transphobic, and free from bigotry.”), we recognize that this wording is problematic because it is impossible to create such a space as all of these forms of oppression systemically exist; it makes invisible people’s experiences and negates the existence of oppression on a societal level. We plan to readjust our mandate to better reflect the reality of oppression and what we are continually challenging and working towards.
