queer things to do in NYC: sun. 6/8 - sat. 6/14
more than 350 events this week… are you ready?
IT’S THE SECOND WEEK OF PRIDE MONTH!! This edition of the queer on the street events newsletter is bringing you more than 350 queer things to do in New York City this week!
YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY — THERE ARE THREE HUNDRED & FIFTY PLUS EVENTS! SO MANY QUEER THINGS TO DO IN NYC THIS WEEK!
In all seriousness, I am in complete awe of you all and feeling so much gratitude that I don’t even know what to do with it. As of this morning (June 7), there are more than 2,000 of you who subscribe to the queer events newsletter!!!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and kind words. It really means the world.
~ that’s enough sappiness for now soooo anyway ~
Some of you loved how the newsletter was broken up last week. Some of you didn’t. The rest of you were indifferent. So… I’m here to bring you the best of both worlds: events separated by day in their own doc AND one long running list… it’s VERYYYYYYYYYYYY intense (and overwhelming to read imo) but some of y’all like it this way and asked for it back— don’t say I didn’t warn you!!!!
DON’T FORGET! Depending on your email provider, you may see “message clipped” at the bottom of the newsletter. Click “show full message” to make sure you’re seeing everything.

~ short history of queer on the street ~
queer on the street was born out of frustration and a little bit of dyke spite.
At the time, there was a sickening lack of diverse queer news/culture coverage in New York City. Sure, there are two publications that are supposed to be for the LGBTQ+ community, but one appears to be for ONLY gay men (I could be wrong but... I don’t think so) and the other publication’s coverage has some diverse coverage... but not really (no disrespect intended – it’s literally a fact).
I wanted a QUEER, not gay, publication. One that covered the entire queer community. Stories about the dykes, the dolls, the (trans) boys, the people with fucked genders (and the ones who have none), the weirdos and freaks, the creatives and silly geese, the cool kids and literally everyone else. I repeat: covered EVERYONE, not some. I wanted to read news/culture coverage that was honest, transparent, intentional and invoked any and all kinds of emotions.
From 2020 through the end of 2021, I had numerous story pitches rejected from local outlets – if they even replied – and was unable to land another job in the (volatile) field of journalism. Again, frustrated, and now feeling an itch and longing to get back into journalism, I decided that I was going to take my reporting skills and experience of launching a similar publication when I lived in Chicago to just make a New York City-based one that my friends and I wanted so badly.
On December 2021, queer on the street went live as a New York City-based news & culture online publication. It had all of the bells and whistles:
news, arts and culture stories
a full (and constantly updated) queer events calendar
Q&A interviews and feature/profile stories
personal essays from local queers on queerness
Tv/film and book reviews
...and so much more.
From 2021 until the summer of 2023, I poured countless hours into queer on the street to report on queer news and the city’s queer culture. I loved every single second.
There wasn’t any funding and I paid for everything out of pocket which... was a financial strain but I didn’t care. I always found a way to make it work because I believed in queer on the street and where it could go.
However... my hands became tied in June 2023 when I was hired at my current place of employment. I had to sign a no-compete (for reporting) which meant that I could not write news/culture articles for anyone EXCEPT my current employer.
This forced me to take the publication offline which was devastating and painful (yes, I cried). But I knew I wanted to keep queer on the street alive because I still believe in the mission and have a vision of what it could be. That’s when I pivoted to focusing on only queer events and new highlights (since neither are considered reporting).
The full publication WILL make a comeback. When? I honestly don’t know, but it will. I promise. Until then... I’ll be doing what I can through loopholes. ;---)
~ wow you made it to the bottom ~
No matter what, the newsletter will always be free. There’s no gatekeeping. No weird or capitalistic intentions here. The goal has been and always will be to inform, educate and bring people together.
If you haven’t done so already, please follow queer on the street on instagram and share the newsletter with your loved ones.
Do you have financial means and appreciate the time it takes to put it together? Consider becoming a paid subscriber or sending a tip to nicanderson921 on paypal/venmo. :)
Your financial support is GREATLY appreciated and all $$ goes towards queer on the street related costs (canva pro, business email, buffer, domain name, etc.)
