Finding My Rainbow in Winston-Salem: A Journey of Queer Belonging

Have you ever felt like you're living in two worlds simultaneously? That's exactly how I felt when I first moved to Winston-Salem three years ago—a queer transplant in a Southern city with a complex relationship to its own history.

My Winston-Salem Story

I still remember that first weekend exploring Trade Street, nervously scanning for rainbow flags while clutching my iced coffee like a shield. Then I stumbled upon Bookmarks, with its proudly displayed queer literature, and later found myself at Monstercade during an impromptu drag show. Suddenly, Winston-Salem revealed itself not as the conservative backdrop I feared, but as a city of hidden pockets where queerness flourishes in surprising ways.

When Finding Your People Feels Impossible

The struggle is real though, right? Between the dating app wasteland (swiping through the same 20 profiles repeatedly), and the "Am I reading this friendship correctly?" dance we all do, finding queer community here can feel daunting. The challenge isn't that queer folks don't exist here—we absolutely do—but that our community lives in constellation rather than concentration.

Creating Your Queer Map of Winston

  • Start with OUT at the Movies film screenings—casual setting, built-in conversation starters
  • Join Pride Winston-Salem volunteer opportunities year-round, not just during Pride
  • Frequent Camino Bakery and Krankies—unofficial queer gathering spots
  • Follow local drag performers on social media to find shows beyond the mainstream
  • Check out UNCSA arts events which often attract diverse crowds

Remember, building community here happens through gentle persistence rather than immediate immersion. Your queer family exists in Winston—sometimes we just have to find each other one person at a time.
