Representing Beauty in All Forms

Queer AF is the Queer Met Gala of Massachusetts. It’s an unforgettable night of queer joy celebrating the beautiful diverse bodies and life experiences represented in our communities.

Be part of the magic as local and international designers, artists, and models take to the runway to celebrate their unique beauty and come together to eliminate bias, stigma, and shame. Event proceeds go to support Love Your Labels programming including our Threads youth fashion and identity program.
