The sixth event for the Comox Valley Queer community is set for April 18 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and is bringing back the famous Queer Trivia Night to Bayside Bistro in Courtenay.  

There are terrific questions, fabulous answers, another great set of prizes, and a whole evening of fun getting to know local, national, and international gay culture and history as well as participating in inter-generational teams and learning from each other.

The Celebrity MC for this event will be Jojo Jaeger. He is the current President of Queer Centre Comox Valley, an organization formed to build a 鈥渢hird space鈥� for queers and allies to hang out, build community, and hold events. It is currently focused on serving as an information hub while it raises funds for the creation of a physical space. 

He is also the founder of Queer For Queer, Comox Valley鈥檚 Queer Artist Collective. As community building and promotion of inter-generational interactions are two of the objectives of the Rainbow Gatherings, participants will be gathered in teams of four, to include at least one person you don鈥檛 yet know. Cross generational members of your team will be able to help the team with the wide range of questions being asked.

It is a secular event provided by the Affirm Committee of Comox United Church. All are welcome to attend and participate: queers and their allies, potential allies, old and younger gays and lesbians, high school/college students, seniors, and those in-between, those of various orientations and romantic attractions, neural diversities and all others. 

It will be a relaxed and fun evening for the community to gather and get to know one another. And this month鈥檚 event is setting up to be marvellous, welcoming,inclusive and affirming, not to mention it is also safe and free. 

The event is free but tickets are recommended and available through .
