What this site is

What's Queer lists LGBTQ+ events, venues and groups in Manchester. Anyone can browse it; anyone can submit an event, venue or group for consideration. By using the site — browsing, submitting, reporting, or requesting a removal — you're agreeing to the points below.

Submitting content

Every submitted event, venue and group goes into a pending queue and is reviewed by an admin before it appears publicly — nothing you submit goes live automatically. We may edit submissions for clarity, formatting, or to fit the site's categories, and we may decline to publish something without it counting as a judgement on the event itself.

What's not allowed

• Anything illegal under UK law, or that promotes illegal activity.
• Harassment, hate speech, or content targeting a person or group — this is an LGBTQ+ community site; content that undermines that isn't welcome here, full stop.
• Sexually explicit content in listings. Fetish & Kink is a genuine, welcome event category on this site — the community and the events themselves are not the problem — but event descriptions and images should describe the event, not be explicit content themselves.
• Misleading or fake listings — an event that isn't real, or details (date, price, venue) that are knowingly wrong.
• Spam — repeated submissions of the same thing, or content that's really just an unrelated advert.
• Impersonation — submitting an event, venue or group as if you're someone you're not (an organiser, a venue, etc.) without actually being them or having their agreement.

Reporting a problem

If you spot something that shouldn't be here — an inaccurate listing, a broken link, something that violates the points above, or your own event/venue that needs correcting or removing — use Report an Issue or Request a Removal. Both go straight to an admin. We aim to review reports promptly, but this is currently a one-person-run project, so please be patient.

Accuracy of listings

We do our best to keep listings accurate, but event details (times, prices, whether it's actually still happening) can change after submission and aren't independently re-verified by us on an ongoing basis. Always double-check directly with the venue or organiser before making plans, especially for anything time- or money-sensitive.

No liability for third-party events

What's Queer lists events run by other people and venues — we're not the organiser of the events listed here, and we're not responsible for what happens at them. Any issue with an actual event (safety, refunds, conduct) is between you and that event's organiser/venue.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows. If we do, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated version.
