We have lived at camps throughout the city- including operating a protest surrounding City Hall. Our shelter, QT Main, is the only LGBTQ+ shelter in Travis County- and it is operated on no funding. Our outreach work is focused in the St Johns community, who have been displaced due to gentrification. We are the most effective caseworkers in ATX, yet are not recognized as caseworkers. We get people housed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/fea41360-3845-4d46-adb7-c8352d247c67/9CA26AC8-61E9-49C5-BF29-1BFBB2301FF2.jpeg Home - Intentional Queermunity Queertopia is in the fundraising stages for a tiny home town in TX and a smaller hub with a shelter in ATX. We will be able to do outreach work in Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio to assist with housing and other advocacy work. Residents with former incarceration for possession will be able to operate and profit from hemp fields, and remaining hemp will be used in clothing production for the multiple fashion designers living at QT. QT will be centered on our core values: consent anti-racism sustainability mental health disability justice restorative justice harm reduction the belief that all work is equally valuable to a community There are no LGBTQ+ hubs in Austin for folks experiencing homelessness. We plan to change that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/1650676209081-D3WYVAAB3ND5KGFBQ2PK/Rose.Thorn.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/1650676421230-HL4KJXKHMR4F1NRW2AI4/Luke.Monta.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/1650676592207-NJG5CADZC6CZNJXIJFDT/Chris.Larry.jpg Home https://www.queertopiatx.org/take-action daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://www.queertopiatx.org/pawpals daily 0.75 2024-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/10863457-077c-4fe8-85ee-49977df80852/CA084A32-1A50-4367-9857-2E656E4368CB.jpeg Paw Pals Rose and Thorn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/e1009ad5-fb61-4cbf-ad06-71747f3cffc7/1FDE15DE-06E2-4CCF-99EA-0726946B9856.jpeg Paw Pals Howie and Stony https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/90a2c0cb-429e-42c5-b015-4921cab4679c/F1BE5010-D81F-490F-9E98-2676F9B73090.jpeg Paw Pals O’Sheay and Kio https://www.queertopiatx.org/about daily 0.75 2023-04-01 https://www.queertopiatx.org/queertopia daily 0.75 2025-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/40f25448-b5b0-4c78-8e76-7d48f47ab43b/3D920BD4-4834-41E0-ACBA-B3E05DC7FB49.jpeg Queertopia - It takes a village. Every role is equally important in a functioning society. We want a thriving one. Housing is a human right, and rent should not cost money. Everyone living at Queertopia will choose a role and work a moderate amount of hours so that all needs will be met- housing, therapy, food, transportation, and entertainment. Work does not equate physical activity. That is an ableist mindset. Physical labor is as important as medicinal is as important as therapeutic. A society needs teachers, trash collectors, and painters. While every home will be equip with running water, we will have communal kitchens to eliminate food waste and get back to a society that cares for and lives off the Earth. We were not meant to live isolated- we were meant to work together and share resources. Our goal is to have solar paneling on every building and redistribute any excess energy to indigenous tribes. We want to live as sustainably as possible and eliminate water bottles and pointless trash. Creativity will be nurtured, and homes will be able to be painted however each person desires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62613e2be1b81e4dd78b91d6/039d15c2-b4d8-448a-bcda-619d2b597241/747FA68F-A19D-4442-A4C8-6C525DDBCED7.jpeg Queertopia - There is no LGBTQ+ center in ATX Part of living at Queertopia will be taking courses on consent, disability justice, anti-racism, smashing the patriarchy, fatphobia, and Deia. Disputes will be handled within the community with a restorative justice mindset- rehabilitation over punishment. Queertopia is a no cops zone. There will be counseling and substance use meetings on site. We will hold each other in love and accountability.
