Thank you for such a detailed answer! It's very helpful!

Perhaps it is simply not a thing in this country/area or I don't have the right connections for it as I don't think I've ever heard of a "queer event".

It would be great if I can find such a queer community, as I don't know any other queer person who is aware of such events or communities if they exist, and if not, perhaps I can get to organising them. I've def never heard of a queer punk band, nevermind show, nevermind trans being a thing in the UK sadly, with the current political climate I doubt that's a thing. Seeing other queers IRL and perhaps talking politically with them is exactly what I need.

I'm glad I was helpful to you.

Don't dox yourself, so feel free to not reply or dm me, but what part of the UK are you in? I don't actively know anyone who lives there, but I spent a weekend with someone from Bristol and I'd bet money she was involved in cool queer stuff in her area.

The band Martha ( https://marthadiy.bandcamp.com/album/blisters-in-the-pit-of-my-heart ) are queer and from Durham.

I bet you could use Bandcamp to find music in your area and from that find people. Most bands tag themselves with their city origin, and maybe tag themselves with queer.
