  2. Guided reflection circle

    Queer hub, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

    Guided reflection circle

    Queer hub, Notweg 38, Amsterdam

    Queer people hold many different relationships to sex; shaped by our histories, our bodies, our desires, and the rooms we were (or weren’t) allowed into.

    Together, we'll explore and look at our sexuality and our sex lives with curiosity, embodiment, while being held by each other. Using a guided reflective framework, we will explore questions like:
    What were we taught about desire? What grounds us now? What have we grown into? What are our hopes for the future?

    About the hosts:
    Led by Farida, and co-facilitated by Zobayda. As a practicing therapist, Farida has experienced holding space for this topic with individuals and couples in the therapy room. She's excited to experiment further with a group context.

    As a multidisciplinary artist manoeuvring community grounds globally, Zobayda takes a deeper step back into her earlier studies of Psychology, helping to moderate/co-facilitate this reflection group with care & curiosity.

    This is not therapy. It's a community space to feel and reflect together. We never stick to one and only script, so bring whatever relationship you have to this topic, and please stay mindful of the space you take/give.

    A safe, FUN, and empowering space to sing together
    Do you love to sing and want to connect with others in a supportive, queer-affirming environment? Join the Queer Keys in Amsterdam, a weekly choir open to all voices, all levels, and all identities.

    Here, we celebrate diversity through music. Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just starting out, you’ll be guided in harmony, rhythm, and vocal expression, all while being part of a welcoming community.

    Together, we’ll explore a mix of pop, soul, and queer anthems, create powerful harmonies, and share the joy of collective singing. No auditions, no judgment, just the magic of voices coming together.

  4. Queer talks

    OBA Oosterdok, Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam

    Queer talks

    OBA Oosterdok, Oosterdokskade 143, Amsterdam

    Verschillende verhalen brengen nieuwe inzichten. Heb je zin om eens vanuit een ander perspectief te kijken naar - soms schurende - thema’s binnen de LGBTQ+-gemeenschap?

    Kom dan naar Queer Talks, een gespreksavond voor iedereen uit de community Ă©n voor medestanders die betrokken willen meedenken en luisteren. Met een boek uit de LGBTQ+-literatuur (fictie en/of non-fictie) als vertrekpunt gaan we samen in gesprek. We lezen passages, bespreken stellingen en verbinden wat we lezen aan onze eigen ervaringen. Je hoeft het boek niet van tevoren gelezen te hebben om mee te doen.

    Inclusiviteit
    In het essay 'Nooit genoeg' gaat Sharvin Ramjan in op thema’s rondom grenzen en inclusiviteit. Hij bespreekt onder andere het verloop van vriendschappen, werken binnen de ogenschijnlijk inclusieve cultuursector, gemeenschapsvorming en zelfontwikkeling.

    “Vriendschappen die geen ruimte maken om deze intersecties te bespreken, lopen het risico uitsluitingsdynamieken te reproduceren. We moeten onszelf er daarom continu toe aanzetten om van elkaar te leren, in plaats van te doen wat de wereld van ons vraagt: ons tegen elkaar laten uitspelen wanneer we ons ongemakkelijk, onprettig of ondergewaardeerd voelen.”

    Ramjan werpt een queer perspectief op de heteronormatieve samenleving. Maar hoe staan we er eigenlijk voor binnen de LGBTQ+-gemeenschap? Hoe divers en inclusief zijn onze vriendengroepen? En komen we op voor mensen uit andere minderheidsgroepen? Het doel van de avond is niet om pasklare antwoorden te vinden, maar om ruimte te maken voor uitwisseling. Door te luisteren, te delen en samen te reflecteren.

    AutiRoze

    DOC, Stadhouderskade 89, Amsterdam

    De lobby van het Dovenontmoetingscentrum (DOC) is inmiddels een thuis geworden voor onze maandelijkse bijeenkomsten. Het DOC heeft een leuke bar met lieve vrijwilligers die je graag helpen met een drankje. Deze vrijwilligers zijn dus slechthorend of doof maar kunnen goed liplezen en leren je graag een woordje in gebarentaal als je daar interesse in hebt.

    Er is een zitgedeelte in de lobby bij het raam en in het midden van de zaal staan tafels met spelletjes, en in de kast van de lobby staan nog meer puzzels en spellen. Er is ook een hoekje achteraf met wat minder licht waar je even kunt afzonderen als dat nodig is.

    Het is een rustige omgeving, er is geen muziek en we hebben sfeer verlichting. Bij binnenkomst wordt je verwelkomt door Jojo, Remon of Qilan. Je ontvangt dan twee muntjes voor consumpties. Hapjes en snacks zijn gratis. Via de nieuwsbrief ben je op de hoogte of er die avond nog een activiteit plaatsvind zoals Bingo, Hints of een lezing.

  7. Remembrance Day

    Het Homomonument, Westermarkt, Amsterdam

    Remembrance Day

    Het Homomonument, Westermarkt, Amsterdam

    On 4 May, at the Homomonument, we will reflect on the Second World War and the (queer) victims of oppression and persecution, both then and now.

    Lecture
    This year, for the first time, the commemoration will be preceded by a lecture given by a prominent speaker on the subject of freedom and the persecution of queer people in Europe.

    ViktĂłria RadvĂĄnyi, chair of Budapest Pride, has agreed to give this lecture in 2026. She will speak about the deteriorating situation of queer people in Hungary in recent years, with particular focus on the Pride ban in 2025, which led to the largest protest in recent Hungarian history.

    Silent march
    The silent march sets off from the front of the Westerkerk, passes the

    Anne Frank House and proceeds along the canals to the Homomonument.

    Commemoration
    Just before 8.00 pm, the tattoo signal will sound and there will be two minutes of silence at the Homomonument. After the silence, the speakers will take the floor. The first speaker is ViktĂłria RadvĂĄnyi, chair of Budapest Pride. The speakers will address themes surrounding freedom and persecution, specifically those affecting queer people.

    Wreath-laying
    As the final part of the ceremony, all the organisations present place a floral arrangement on the monument’s water triangle.

    The master of ceremonies then brings the commemoration to a close and invites all visitors to lay flowers on the water triangle and then gather in the Westerkerk for a discussion.

    Treehouse NDSM, T.T. Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

    Poly stories: agreement artistry

    Treehouse NDSM, T.T. Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

    We all want to be open-minded, but some things within ENM are understandably off-limits for some: from not dating your best friend to foregoing a regular testing routine. When it becomes 'don’t watch this' or 'don’t eat that' with someone else, this may seem manageable at first. There will, however, come a Friday night when only late-night falafel is available, or there’s nothing else on TV besides your favourite bed-rotting series together.

    How do we keep things special and protected, without putting a bunch of laws into effect that are just not realistic in the long run? Why do we agree on things? To meet in the middle. To have a clear understanding. To hold accountable. To know what to expect. To tune into what we are feeling. To know the bounds of freedom, and where to play. To design our own lives, our own relationships - using the knowledge we have about our needs, longings and limits. To say: “Yes, that’s fine, and here’s what I ask from you - or am willing to give you.”

    A relationship contract can be the way forward, yet remain open for review and discussion. What was a necessary tool in new experiences may become an unwanted brake when picking up speed with ENM skill. What was irrelevant in a don’t-ask-don’t-tell dynamic becomes crucial in kitchen table polyamory.

    The imagined scenario may diverge from the real-time scenario, insecurity may turn into enthusiasm, a solid base may allow for a looser approach or relationships may take on different shapes with established or dissolved hierarchies. It’s okay. Let’s reinvent. Agreements aren’t a one-size-fits-all. It’s an art. In this edition of Poly Stories, we’re going to explore our agreement artistry.

    Poly Stories invites you in the exploration of the wondrous world of non-monogamy through personal storytelling.

    This evening is for anyone: whether you’re just starting out or already experienced in non-monogamy/open relationships/polyamory.

    FLINTA board gayming

    ReRoll Works, Van Woustraat 202A, Amsterdam

    If you're looking to meet other queer people who are interested in board games, then you've come to the right place!

    Our aim is to bring members of the FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Agender) board gaming community together to meet, socialise and enjoy the hobby in a safe and respectful environment.

    So far, the events have seen mostly lighter games with a casual approach allowing for discussions. With the whole library available to play though, anything is possible at our next event!

    Our events are open to all everyone of all identities, but we ask everyone understand they are entering a FLINTA safe space and should behave respectfully.

    What's FLINTA?
    Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans, and Agender folks – this night is all about you! Whether you're a seasoned strategist or just curious about what all the dice-rolling fuss is about, you've found your tribe.

    What's the vibe?
    Think cozy game cafĂ© meets chosen family causal drinks. We're creating a space where you can be completely yourself while discovering your new favourite game (or absolutely crushing everyone at your current obsession). No mansplaining, no weird energy – just pure, authentic gaming joy with people who totally get it.

    New to board games?
    Perfect! Our community loves sharing their favorites and teaching newbies.

    Already a gaming queen?
    Bring your A-game – we're ready for whatever strategy you've got brewing.

    What to expect:
    A curated selection of games (from quick party games to deep strategy) and the kind of conversations that happen when everyone feels genuinely safe to be themselves. Plus, you might just discover your new gaming obsession or find your regular game night crew.

    Bring:
    Just your fabulous self!

    Come play, stay connected, and let's build something beautiful together – one game at a time! ✹

    The House Rules:
    ✅ Bring your own games or explore our collection (including our own boundary-pushing titles)
    ✅ Outside food welcome – bring snacks for those intense gaming sessions
    ❌ No external drinks – we've got refreshments sorted
    ❌ No alcohol – keeping our space accessible and comfortable for everyone

    Sex salon - The vanilla edition

    Club Church, kerkstraat 52, Amsterdam

    We have done it all, covered every sexual practice we could possibly think of. Semen, promiscuity, perversions, solo sex, group sex, pain, paying for it, anal, dick pics, outdoor sex, messy sex, bondage, STIs, older bodies, trans, cheating, roleplay, audio, porn, interracial, cruising, kissing, toys and video.

    There is only one topic left, perhaps the most taboo of all in a place like Club Church: vanilla. Yes: beds, romance, couples, lights off, missionary, and maybe even
 routine. In the 25th and final edition, we tackle the sex that everyone assumes, rarely examines, and perhaps enjoys more than they’d like to admit.

    Expect contributions from, among others, radio maker Robert Weijers and writer Ype Driessen.

    This will be the last Salon in Club Church, don’t miss it!

    Poly stories: NRE Realms

    Treehouse NDSM, Neveritaweg 55-57, Amsterdam

    Yes, you’ve met someone new. Have you been reached by a “heady rush of escalating emotional connection and hot juiciness?” Coined by Zhahai Stewart in the 1980s, ‘new relationship energy’ has seeped into love society and the world of ethical non-monogamy. You’ve heard it coming for your friend with a new crush every catch-up, but it may come for you, too. That stranger turned object of desire, appearing only in a cloud of pink, and every other thought? As it leaves you feeling unsteady without your next hit, this new player may leave your existing partner(s) feeling a certain way, too.

    Sweet, sugary, and disruptive - such can be the nature of NRE. Feel-good hormones make every interaction rewarding. A six-month attachment phase begins. Behaviour may mirror that of this idealised person. Repeated urges to be close to them may overshadow longstanding connections with others. They may recognise this change in you from before, but don’t experience it first-hand. Compersion (happiness for you) turns sour as dates become deprioritised.

    Is it all bad? No. In this edition of Poly Stories, we’ll find out how to make sure there’s enough romance to go around for all people involved, how to redirect commitment impulses to sustainable intentionality - whilst maintaining freedom to explore newness, and how to stay centered in your own identity when others’ modes of being are so exciting.

    Allow for play and master your way around NRE. Riding the wave, with skill, may just be the ENM foundation you didn’t know you needed.

    KWIK welcomes those who identify as womxn: trans women, cis women and also intersex and non binary folks who still feel connected to the womn scene. This does not include crossdressers, sissy men etc.

    We don’t care if you’ve been doing BD$M for 20+ years or if you’ve only recently discovered your k!nky persuasions.

    KWIK munch is an easy-going place to meet other k!nky womxn, get to know each other, exchange experiences and plan for more of the good stuff together.

    We do care that we treat each other with mutual kindness and respect. Everybody is different, so no shaming, racism, sexism, transphobia etc. A no-brainer.

    18 jaar organiseerde Café Saarein samen met Irene Hemelaar iedere tweede zondag van de maand de Nederlandstalige MeeZing. Na de allerlaatste MeeZing in mei 2024 leek dit mooie hoofdstuk afgesloten, maar op veler verzoek strijkt de MeeZing af en toe neer op het vertrouwde nest.

    Of je nou een vaste bezoeker bent of voor het eerst komt - laat je stem laten horen en kom plezier maken! We zingen driemaal een half uur.
