YOU'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS & WE'VE GOT SOME ANSWERS
What happens after I submit an Event, Service, or Venue?
Once you hit "SUBMIT", your form gets processed by Queerly Complex volunteers who will review your whole submission form and input it into the proper place (calendar, directory, or map). Since this is a volunteer-run effort, here are some guides to help you better understand our process:
1. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your submission to be listed.
2. If we have questions about your submission, we will email you
3. We will email you to let you know that your event, service, or venue has been posted.
4. If you submitted an EVENT, you will be added to the Event Listing (on Google Calendar) as a Guest with Editing Privileges. Any edits are done by you.
5. Once your Event, Service, or Venue has been listed, please add a Queer Love 2023 Icon.
6. Please FOLLOW @queerlycomplex (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube), @realestexposure, @ham_job1, and @headprinthousesf & TAG us on posts related to Queer Love 2023, so we can share to our network too.
What do I do if I have more than one event? Or if I want to submit a service and venue?
You must fill out a separate form for each listing. So if you want to list mutliple events, submit multiple forms. If you want to submit a service and a venue, you will need to submit two forms.
Remember: One form per listing.
