About Us

Queer in Community (QIC) was founded in May, 1998. The network is formed of individuals who identify as queer or queer-positive, who either live in intentional community or would like to, and affiliated queer and queer-positve communities.

Some definitiions for use on this site:

Queer
We do not limit ourselves to any particular definition of queer. For some, it means sexuality in any form beyond traditional heterosexual coupling. Others refuse to define queer at all, on the basis that you know queer when you see it, and any definition is limiting and confining.

By "queer-positive" we mean welcoming with open arms, embracing the queerness of queer members and friends, and considering a queer life path to be a positive thing!

Community
Community is a word with many meanings. When we say "intentional community" we mean a group of people who are choosing to live together.
