I'm grateful to one of my closes friends, Stephen Seo (in black above), who I met on the dancefloor. Stephen invited me to Winter Party Festival for the first time in 2013. I met many people who became part of my chosen family. Thanks to Stephen, I met Russell, Kelvin, Yves, Eddie, Jake, Rob, Jeremy, Jo, Angelo, Demario, Alex, and many more in Miami. I wish I could be on the dancefloor with them, and others like Justin, Roger, Jim, Tos, Cristian, Rea, Kierra, Sayre, Liebe, and many more, in March 2021. 

Winter Partry Festival brings people together from all walks of life and creates an affirming space for us to be our most authentic selves. It makes us long for safe-havens, places where we can be ourselves, surrounded by our chosen family, and accepted and loved just the way we are. Winter Party's underlying purpose is much larger than the Festival itself.

Winter Party is a fundraising venture produced by, and in support of, the National LGBTQ Task Force. We can't sell in-person tickets and passes, so we are coming to you directly to help fuel the Task Force's critical work and build a bridge to our next Winter Party Festival in 2022. The Task Force is committed to securing freedom, justice, and equality for everyone.

LGBTQ people should be treated fairly across all areas of life, not have to worry if they’ll be unfairly thrown out of a restaurant, denied an apartment, or refused medical care or access to a health care facility they need, just because of who they are or who they love. Today, you can help bring us all a little closer to that dream of full equality. Help us secure non-discrimination protections for all people by making a gift to help me reach my goal. No donation is too small.
