About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorHOMO A GOGO is one of the programs of the 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Queer Arts in Action. HOMO A GOGO is a biennial queer music, art, film, spoken word and radical activism festival. The festival was founded in 2002 by Ed Varga- a FTM, musician and community organizer. HOMO A GOGO seeks to continue the tradition of other independent Olympia arts festivals including Ladyfest, Yoyo a Go Go and the International Pop Underground Convention by providing a venue for underground, DIY and independent artists.Every year artists, musicians, writers, activists and festival goers gather from all over the world to create our own cultural landscape and community. The community we hope to create overlaps with, yet exists outside of the mainstream queer community and the independent music/arts community. We hope to encourage anti-war, anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-classist and anti-ableist ideals while providing a venue for non-mainstream queer culture.Proceeds from HOMO A GOGO benefit the Olympia, WA based Gender Variant Health Project (GVHP). The GVHP is an Olympia based non-profit organization devoted to health issues and healthcare needs of those of us whose gender identity differs from the gender assigned to us based on our biological sex. The GVHP offers educational programs and forums for healthcare professionals, as well as, referral services for gender variant individuals.
