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.
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.

On February 22nd join Queer Headed for our third annual Queer Speed Dating event!! Find a spark, a slowburn, or a new best friend!
***RSVP at the link in the bio for the exact address***
This event is 18+ and open to all relationship styles- polyamory, monogamy, platonic, etc. It will be run as a "everyone for everyone" event, meaning you will not be paired with people based on identity or orientation. As such not every person you talk to may be compatible romantically, but everyone will be queer and each date will be a chance at a meaningful connection :)
We are limited to 30 spots due to the size of the venue so RSVP quickly to secure your spot!
