Our community

A space for everyone

HQS welcomes people across the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as allies who support an inclusive and respectful environment.

We want our activities to be places where people can meet others, try something new, share their interests and feel comfortable being themselves.

We ask everyone who takes part in HQS activities and community spaces to treat others with respect and help us maintain a welcoming environment.
