From The Chateau: “We’ve assembled a group of people we love and respect to bring YOU one week of shimmering queer happenings right to your living room, all in aid of two incredible causes – METRO Charity and UK QTIBIPOC Hardship Fund. The Chateau stands in vocal solidarity BLACK LIVES MATTER and with the Black queer and trans community, in fighting the systemic racism that plagues our society. These events will centre Black and POC artists from The Chateau community, who we celebrate this month and always.”
