USYD Queers of Colour - QOCO

We are gay and have melanin We asked, "Where are all the queer people of colour? Surely they must be out there!" And thus, QOCO was born.

Tired of the lackluster kick in the sambal and the absence of garam masala in queer events, a group of friends took it upon themselves to create a community especially for queer people of colour. QOCO aims to create a community where people of colour can explore the intersection of their queer and cultural identities. We want to provide a supportive network for students who may feel isolated from

LGBT+ spaces and/or their cultural roots and foster connections with each other to celebrate their authentic selves.
