The fundraising site has a bevy of queer causes you can donate to, from a current fundraiser to keep Winnipeg’s only gay bar, Club 200, alive to ones for individual queers in precarious situations. If mutual aid is new to you, GoFundMe is a great place to start. This is what’s commonly known as mutual aid a community-driven approach to offering folks in a tight spot goods, services, cash, and other forms of support rather than an every person for themselves mindset. If you follow lots of queer folks on social media, it’s likely you’re already part of a mutual support network and frequently see calls for donations to help individuals out when they’re going through hardships - financial and otherwise. One of the best things you can do to support LGBTQ+ communities is to skip the middle person and support queers directly. Below you’ll find all sorts of ways you can continue the support you cultivated throughout Pride Month, from shopping and making donations to watching TV (seriously). Pride Month is coming to a close, but allyship and support for LGBTQ+ communities is needed all year round.
