Greetings Qnotes readers,
In our latest edition of QWeekly we take a look at how a miscommunication resulted in the erasure of significant queer culture, and talks about how we might restore that loss.
As Qnotes continues to bring our readers the latest in LGBTQ+ news, we’re excited to announce that we have joined the LGBTQ+ media collaborative News is Out.
To make sure you enjoy all that queer Charlotte and the Carolinas has to offer, we continue to explore area opportunities in sports and entertainment.
In other developments, we’ve also got the latest news from the Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce and the grand opening of their new Impact Center.
As always, if you’ve got an inside line on a story that needs to be told, contact us at editor@qnotescarolinas.com.
Sincerely,
David Aaron Moore
Senior Editor, Qnotes
