FAQ
-
Is Queer Vision a magazine or a podcast?
It’s both! The Queer Vision podcast is a once-weekly interview podcast where we sit down for a casual chat with queer members of our community.
Every month, these interviews — along with guest articles, history segments, games, advice, and much more! — are collected into the Queer Vision magazine, which is available in both digital and physical form.
-
Is Queerolina a nonprofit?
Queerolina not a nonprofit organization — however, our emphasis is on giving back to the queer community and ensuring the business remains sustainable rather than pursuing a profit. Currently, none of our core team members draw a salary, and all of our efforts are volunteer- and community-led.
We also partner with tons of great nonprofits in the area, and hold monthly raffles to support a variety of queer-centered nonprofits, both locally and nationally.
-
Is Queerolina an adults-only organization?
Absolutely not. While we do host 18+ and 21+ events via our Nasty Queer brand, we’re also home to a wide variety of family-friendly and all-ages activities.
It’s a core part of our ethos to remind the world that there is nothing inherently “mature” about being queer, and that gay, trans, and other LGBTQ+ children are just as much a part of our community and just as deserving of a place where they can feel seen and heard.

Where can I find the magazine?
Queer Vision is available as both a digital and physical publication.
The digital version is available for a monthly subscription of pay-what-you-can at $5, $10, or $15 tiers, or an annual bundle of a year’s worth of magazines for $100. Click here to subscribe!
The physical version is distributed through Mixam and available for print-on-demand to be shipped to your door. Click here to order a copy of any issue!

What's the difference between the magazine price tiers?
There is no difference! You get the same great content at any price point; just pick the tier that makes the most sense for your budget.

How can I get involved?
There are so many ways you can help support our cause:
* Sign up for a podcast interview! We firmly believe that everyone has a story to share, and we want to hear yours. Even if you don’t think you’re all that interesting, every voice we can add shows the world that we are everywhere, and we have always been here. An edited version of your interview will also appear in the monthly Queer Vision magazine, and you’ll receive a free digital copy of that month’s issue!
* If you’re an artist, photographer, writer, poet, or creative of any kind, you can also share your work with the magazine! We are always accepting submissions, and would love to put what you’ve created out there for the community to see.
* We always welcome volunteers for our monthly Strut, Slut! performances and other events. Check out the Events page for any upcoming shows and markets with a volunteer call. If you want to help out behind the scenes, you can also reach out to us by email to volunteer with graphic design, magazine layout, and other admin tasks.
* Finally, we never say no to a little extra funding! Queerolina welcomes both one-time and recurring donations, and we have a community sponsorship plan for partnering with and promoting local businesses who support the queer community.
