Autumn Is Queer

A Season, A Movement, A Celebration

Autumn Is Queer isn’t just a campaign — it’s a recalibration for a world that needs more joy, more connection, and more unapologetic authenticity.

Rooted in Coventry and blossoming far beyond, Autumn Is Queer reclaims the season as the gloriously strange, boldly expressive, and fabulously authentic time of year it has always been. From 22 September – 30 November 2025, Coventry will transform into a city-wide celebration of individuality, resilience, and pride.

Because Autumn itself is queer — transitional, dramatic, camp, unapologetic, and bursting with colour (helloooooo Halloween!).

Our Vision

I do deserve to feel proud.
And so do you.

Autumn Is Queer exists to remind us that our differences aren’t problems to fix, but beauty to celebrate.

Our Values

  1. Authentically True – as true as Coventry Blue.

  2. Elevating Everyone – creating change, even when unrecognised.

  3. Persisting Through the Rain – because resilience is power.

  4. Connected by Difference – difference isn’t a big deal. Get over it.

  5. Rooted in Coventry, Blossoming Beyond – local at heart, global in impact.

Our Mission

By creatively connecting the identities of Coventry, Autumn, and LGBTQIA+ culture, we’re pioneering a bold, playful, and heartfelt revolution:

You DO deserve to feel proud, hun.

Who It’s For

Although deeply rooted in queer culture, Autumn Is Queer is for everyone who values authenticity, community, and the right to live unapologetically. Whether you’re:

  • a school or youth group

  • an independent artist

  • a business or local café

  • a major organisation or local authority

…there’s a role for you. This is bigger than rainbows in windows — it’s about connection, creativity, and lasting cultural change.

Why Autumn?

Autumn serves camp already — unapologetic transitions, dramatic colours, and the wild joy of Halloween. It’s a season that embodies resilience, transformation, and flair. By celebrating Autumn as queer, we’re equipping communities to embrace individuality, authenticity, and collective pride.
