We founded SQSH on the belief that every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to be treated with compassion and dignity - because queer spirits, bodies, and narratives are inherently sacred and indisposable.
We dream of a liberated St. Louis Metro Area where people of all genders and sexualities live with power, safety, and abundance. We strive to interrupt and transform our responses to harm through peer support, resource connections, political education, relationship-building, storytelling, and working towards healing justice.
➡️ As a grassroots, community-led organization, we need your support to continue the work that we do. All donations to SQSH will be directly invested in supporting the St. Louis queer community through our key programs. If you value the work we do to strengthen LGBTQIA+ mental health, queer liberation, and healing justice, please donate to keep SQSH going! Any amount is welcome and equally appreciated.
