Out My Closet’s Boutique Reveal at TransCon was an incredible success, bringing together community leaders, clients, and allies for a truly unforgettable experience. The space was transformed into an elevated, boutique-chic haven, showcasing a stunning collection of high-quality, fashion-forward clothing, shoes, accessories, and cosmetics—all available for free to under-resourced LGBTQ youth and adults. Attendees were captivated by the beauty and care put into every curated ensemble, making it clear that Out My Closet’s commitment to providing dignity and empowerment through fashion is unmatched. The event buzzed with energy as community members enjoyed refreshments, a live DJ, and show-stopping drag performances, all while witnessing firsthand the transformative power of this lifesaving work. We extend a BIG THANK YOU to the team members of @Aritzia who participated in a national clothing drive (clothing, shoes, and accessories) that yielded hundreds of high-quality items for clients at our boutique. #transcon #outmycloset #translivesmatter

🌟 YEAR IN REVIEW: QUEER MEN'S EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS! 🌟 What an incredible year it's been! 🎉 Together, we explored, created, and thrived with our monthly Queer Men's Empowerment Workshops—from cooking competitions 🍳, wine tasting lessons 🍷, and a lively Beach Battle 🏖️, to the peaceful art of flower arranging 💐, high-energy fitness classes 💪, and so much more!
