Welcome to Queer Headed!
Queer Headed is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves the queer and sober community of South Jersey through hosting queer and sober events and resource sharing.
Third time's the charm! π€After a reschedule due to a blizzard warning back in February, this morning we got a call from our venue to tell us they still had downed powerlines and trees from the blizzard they hadn't cleaned up and we would have to reschedule. Queer Speed Dating will now be held:
March 15th, 2-4pm
Mays Landing (address revealed after signing up at link in bio)
This event will be 18+, everyone for everyone, and open to all relationship types. Come meet your new beau or bestie!
(And if anyone knows any weather based magic maybe cast a spell that ensures mother nature will spare us this time π
)
Join Queer Headed on March 21st from 6:30-8:30pm for a night at a retro arcade! We'll be back at Starcade this March for an evening of pinball, pals, and Mrs. Pac-man ;)
RSVP at the link in our bio!
Starcade is a retro gaming arcade located in the Hamilton Mall that houses dozens of vintage pinball machines, retro arcade games like Pac-man, Galaga, Gauntlet, and more as well as more modern arcade games and console games. No quarters or tokens are required as a ticket grants unlimited plays of all games!
When you arrive at the arcade let the cashier know you're with Queer Headed then head to the party area on the right hand side for snacks and drinks :)
It's been awhile since we introduced ourselves! Meet the current members of the Queer Headed board, including our most recent addition, Hails Tanaka!
Throughout the years Queer Headed's board has shifted and grown through different seasons and we are so grateful to all current and past members for their dedication to the continued growth of the organization.
If you would like to get more involved in Queer Headed come to our events or DM us to express interest!

(It is best to come with the whole book read but those who've read any amount are welcome to join)
Yesterday was such a beautiful day for a walk in the woods and a wade in water! Thankful for all the wonderful people who came out to ground themselves in nature and chat with fellow queers! β€π²π
