Stick around afterwards for Hot Topic, Birdhouse's brand new emo dance party! (19+)

The Birdhouse is situated on the stolen, ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Skxwú7mesh-ulh, and Tsleil-Waututh nations. As we work to cultivate queer joy on these lands, we also recognize the generations of harm and trauma inflicted upon the people of these lands, by the same colonial violence that enables us to be here as settlers. We recognize our struggle for queer and trans liberation as interconnected with the struggle for Indigenous liberation, Palestinian liberation, and a world free from institutional oppression in all its forms. We are committed to continuously engaging in Indigenous-led movements for restoration, healing, and justice.
