About QueerXGirl
Based at the University of California - Los Angeles, QueerXGirl is a longstanding student organization that has been building community and fostering belonging for more than 20 years. Rooted in the belief that storytelling and shared experiences are revolutionary acts of empowerment, QueerXGirl welcomes all individuals regardless of where they are in their personal journey. The organization serves the Los Angeles, CA community by creating intentional spaces where members can discover their truths, support one another, and engage in meaningful conversations about LGBTQ+ identity and lived experience. What sets QueerXGirl apart is its commitment to mutual uplift and genuine connection—the organization isn't just about programming, but about building authentic relationships among a diverse group of friendly, intelligent people who share deep care for their community. Through weekly gatherings at the UCLA LGBT Center, QueerXGirl cultivates an environment where vulnerability is honored and growth is celebrated. The organization recognizes that personal storytelling, when shared first with oneself and then with others, becomes a catalyst for positive change and social awareness. QueerXGirl's mission extends beyond campus walls to embrace the broader LGBTQ+ community throughout greater Los Angeles, creating ripple effects of support and solidarity. Members describe the organization as a place to find not just community, but chosen family—a space where diverse perspectives are valued and where collective action toward social justice is both encouraged and supported.
