Howdy yâall! I made a discord server for queer folks in the western equine/rodeo industry to hang out.
Itâs friendly to all queer folks, and allies interested in the queer side of the western industry. Please dm me if youâd like a link to join.
We have a section thatâs still a work in progress for queer associations such as gay rodeo, along with a calendar of upcoming events that these associations put on. If you know of any queer organizations or events, such as rodeos, trail rides, barrel races, etc that you think could be added to the list, please dm me!
For those unfamiliar with queer folks in western spaces, hereâs some articles. Weâve always been here and thereâs space for us in the industry
