Abi Smith created The Big Queer Picnic after an overwhelming response to her TikTok post seeking queer friends. The initiative aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals in London.
Smith emphasizes that the picnics focus on centering queer women, trans, and non-binary people. While cis men are welcome, they are asked to respect and prioritize marginalized groups.
Transgender Europe's 2023 Trans Rights Map ranked the UK poorly for transgender rights, following anti-trans comments at the Conservative Party conference. This underscores the importance of initiatives like The Big Queer Picnic.
