Love, law and q***r futures 🏳️‍🌈⚖️

Belgium has had marriage equality for over 20 years, but many LGBTQ+ couples still skip one crucial step when building a life together: talking to a notary. What happens to your home if one of you dies? How do you protect your partner from unsupportive family members? What changes when you have kids, buy a place or choose not to get married at all?

We sat down with notary Sophie Maquet to unpack why seeing a notary is not about being “complicated”, but about making sure your q***r family is legally protected on your own terms – and why the first consultation is free.

Brussels, ready to dress for the end of the old world? 🕯️🏳️‍🌈

Liaison Music and Kunty Kompany are taking over Ancienne Belgique with “DICTATOR’S FUNERAL” – a clubnight where you come dressed like you’re going to the funeral of the people who burned the world for decades… and then dance as if their systems had finally collapsed.

It’s a QTBIPOC‑centred, migrant‑led night where care, community and rage turn into basslines, sweat and joy on the dancefloor. If you’ve been craving a party that feels like protest and healing, this one’s for you.

Brussels, are you ready for one last big sing? 🎶🏳️‍🌈

Various Voices is about to take over the ING Arena with Let Your Heart Be Heard, the biggest LGBTQI+ choir gathering Brussels has ever seen – and there’s still time to join from the inside, not just from the seats.

No need to be a pro singer or already in a choir: the festival’s open rehearsals at Bozar are there to help you learn the anthem and feel at home in the crowd. It’s a unique chance to stand in the middle of thousands of q***r voices and allies, and literally hear what community feels like.
