JQ International

Established in 2004, JQ is the premier LGBTQ+ Jewish organization in Los Angeles. JQ celebrates the lives of LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies by transforming Jewish communities and ensuring inclusion through community building, educational programs, and support and wellness services, promoting the healthy integration of LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities. JQ envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ Jews feel a strong sense of self, pride, and community – a place where LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies are supported by communities that embrace their needs and celebrate their unique gifts.

Our work is focused in three primary categories: community building, educational programs, and support services, creating a joyful and healthy future for individuals to connect through transformative and engaging programs, learn together to become inclusive and embracing allies, and thrive from seeking life-saving emotional and spiritual support.
