Queer Lounge, a Program of GLAAD

A powerful player in shaping the next generation of gay film, Queer Lounge provides a venue and meeting place at film festivals, such as Sundance and Toronto, where queer-friendly filmmakers, professionals, and audiences connect and network. In 2007, The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) made Queer Lounge a part of its Media Programs.

2008 Queer Lounge Moves into Bigger Digs

C.A.N.T. @ SUNDANCE - Homos Away From Home

“Everything gets bigger and bigger at Sundance, from the pioneering Queer Lounge, now located in a multilevel storefront on Main Street, to the number of features that apply to get in…” - The Los Angeles Times - January 16, 2008

For the third year in a row, PKPR traveled to Park City, Utah to help Queer Lounge puts its unique stamp on the Sundance Film Festival. With panels by day and parties by night, Queer Lounge proved a major hit thanks to its prime new location on Main Street.

Entertainment Weekly covered the Queer Lounge panel on the Hollywood writer’s strike, while The Advocate, LOGO, and Washington Blade used Queer Lounge as the jumping off point to exlore gay film’s resurgence at Sundance.

But our favorite was VH-1’s Best Week Ever , which turned its hidden camera on Queer Lounge revelers to determine if “the gays” are really better dancers.
