Donate $40 to The Queer Film Institute
a dollar for every year we have brought LGBTQ+ cinema to Boston!
This year, Wicked Queer turns 40. In those years the LGBTQ+ community has struggled and survived, fighting and marching for our freedom to exist. And cinema was there. Telling our stories, sharing our lives and affirming that existence. And the fight continues today. With book bans, anti-trans legislation, bans on drag queens and resurgent homophobia, it can sometimes seem like we never left the 80s.
This makes the mission of Wicked Queer all the more urgent. We as an organization are dedicated to the uplifting of all the voices of our rainbow community, to tell our stories and to preserve and promote our vibrant and untold histories. You can help us do that by donating to our non-profit organization, The Queer Film Institute. We would like urge you to celebrate our 40th by donating $40, a dollar for every year we’ve been here in Boston. Help us with our mission to create space for our stories and histories to be told. Your donation helps to support LGBTQ+ filmmakers, who are telling our stories. We are all in this together and I thank you for your continued support.
