Queer AF: I'm with the Banned

  • Mechanics Hall 321 Main Street Worcester, MA, 01608 United States (map)

Queer AF, presented by Love Your Labels, is more than a fashion show: It is a declaration. Through the theme "I'm with the banned," Queer AF 2024 channels the spirit of resistance that runs deep in our community. We come together not just to celebrate our art, fashion, and expression, but to loudly proclaim that our voices will not be silenced, our books will not be banished, and our existence will not be erased. Through every stitch and every word, we honor all individuals facing oppression and collectively fight back against the tide of censorship.

Join us for a vibrant celebration of queerness and powerful resistance, where every garment worn is a battle cry for freedom, a love letter to those who have been silenced, and a beacon of hope for a future where our stories are told and cherished. The night kicks off with a bazaar from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., where local vendors will sell hand-crafted goods. There's a VIP pre-show from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. featuring musical performances (included with the price of a runway table or runway seat ticket and available as an add-on to other ticket tiers) and the show starts at 8 p.m.

Queer AF is organized by Love Your Labels, a nonprofit that supports and uplifts LGBTQ+ youth through art, fashion, and design, and works with families and communities to create inclusive and loving spaces everywhere. All funds raised from Queer AF benefit Love Your Labels’ LGBTQ+ youth programs. Attending this event includes permission for the organization to use your photos and videos for Queer AF and Love Your Labels promotional materials. This includes all current and future photos and videos taken by us.
