Baltimore Queer Events

Bret, is our Florida raised, hockey obsessed, resident ace lesbian witch who is here to steal your cat for their own and teach them socialism. They work two day jobs, both as other people's assistants, so keeping Baltimore Queer Events organized and on schedule comes natural to them! You'll always find Bret on their phone, somehow working and playing at the same time.

They're big into creating spaces for LGBT+ friends, online and off. If you're in the Bmore Sapphics facebook group or discord server, you've seen Bret as a mod; they also run a discord server for the Baltimore witchy community!

You'll see Bret running all over the place at karaoke - be sure to remind them to sit down and take a break for once!

Meet Deadria - a vibrant soul navigating the realms of art, activism, and hospitality with boundless creativity and unwavering dedication.

As a part-time beertender in Baltimore, Deadria thrives in the hustle and bustle of the city's eclectic beer scene, pouring libations and fostering connections with every smile and

pour.

Their journey as a creator took a pivotal turn when conversations with Bret & Katie illuminated the need for accessible information about queer events in Baltimore. From those dialogues emerged a passion project: the creation of transformative queer events that resonate across the city.

Beyond the bar counter, Deadria's lens finds solace and storytelling in the world of photography. With each click, they capture the essence of moments, the beauty of diversity, and the resilience of the human spirit.

In the quiet moments between clicks and pours, Deadria finds solace in the company of their faithful canine companion, Domino, whose boundless energy and unwavering loyalty inspire adventures and moments of reflection alike.

Katie is a Latina indie filmmaker and the proud owner of Kap2ure Film Studios. Katie identifies as bisexual and is currently in a closed polyamorous triad with her partners, Luis of 18 years and Raquel of 10 years. Together, they are raising their 8-year-old son in the arts district of Highlandtown with a new baby girl on the way.

Having grown up immersed in the church, she began her career working for religious organizations as a worship pastor and creative director. When she came out, she encountered pushback and ultimately lost her job because of her decision to live authentically.

Despite this setback, Katie firmly believes in the power of community and draws strength from her background in starting churches and supporting various faith orgs and non-profits. This valuable experience has provided her with a unique perspective in creating a new kind of gathering community. i.e. Queer Karaoke and the WE. Worship Pop-Ups.

Her dedication to LGBTQ+ inclusion in faith spaces and representation shines through her work, both behind the camera and in her everyday life.
