About YQC

Hi, my name is Freds, and I’ve been a queer creative my whole life. Since coming out, I’ve found a real divide where we’re told to be careful mentioning being Queer within professional spaces, or told to go all in and market ourselves as a Queer creator. I’d like to offer an alternative. Yorkshire Queer Creatives is a directory where anyone can come and find a creative from the community easily. Whether you’re looking to hire, network, or find a mentor, this will make it so much easier to find anyone who is Queer and is a Creative in Yorkshire.

I want this to be more than just the directory, though. It’s a hard time to be a creative and a harder time to be Queer, so it’s time to band together and support each other. Through our Discord community, networking events, socials, and workshops led by other members, we want to help you succeed in your creative career and find community while doing it.

If you want to support the community, why does it cost?

All of your subscription money will go towards website fees, paying staff, and hiring you guys to come and run workshops and events!
