A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY The last few days have been extremely difficult for everyone who calls the Q their home. From the management, to the staff, to the patrons. Q was created specifically to serve the entire, diverse LGBTQIA+ community, offering our employees, talent, and patrons a sanctuary to express their individuality to the fullest. While we vehemently deny the hurtful allegations that have recently surfaced, we are committed to end the very division within our community that Q’s programming and mission were designed to combat. Luis Fernando, who was hired in mid June to fill the role of Creative Director, will be taking over Alan Picus's role as Executive Producer of the Q. I look forward to what Luis will create. On a personal note, I remain committed to fostering an open dialogue on how the Q can better serve our community and I will continue to invest in educating my staff - and myself - on the unique issues our community collectively faces. I will always strive to move the agenda forward for all, through my continued support of LGBTQIA+ organizations, non-profits, political leaders, and communities of color. No form of racism, transphobia, colorism, or any other form of discrimination has been or will be tolerated at any of my venues. This is my commitment to you. I thank you all deeply for your patronage and I hope that you continue to support us and support Luis during this new and exciting chapter at the Q! Sincerely, Bob Fluet
