The Dignity Suite is a free initiative that centers the needs of the trans and LGBQ+ community, BIPOC sex workers, and folks who have been historically “othered”. The Suite is open to folks of all gender identities and expressions. While BIPOC folks are centered, it is open to all. The Dignity Suite is a culmination of the makeup room, den, and QT Shop. We made an intentional decision to combine all of the gender affirming rooms into one suite in order to promote inclusivity and support the entire spectrum of gender expression.
