What we’re about
Welcome to the Nerdy Queer Club of Metro Detroit!
This social group is for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies to meet up for some nerdy queer fun! We will have activities like visiting museums, checking out bookshops, doing crafty classes, etc. Events will be in person around Metro Detroit at least once a month. Goal is simply to do fun things in a comfortable space and meet some friends along the way. Hope to meet you at one of our events!
To ensure everyone has a positive experience, all attendees agree to follow all laws, event location policies, and group rules:
- Look out for your safety and the people around you. Like, don’t climb on stuff even if it looks really fun. Don’t out someone even by accident. Stay home if you are sick.
- Be respectful and support an inclusive space for people of all genders, races, disabilities, etc. Refer to people with the correct names, pronouns, and language. Don’t assume, just ask!
- Be over the age of 18. For some events, parents with young children will be welcome to bring their kiddos as guests, but they must provide constant supervision and ensure all rules are followed. Check each individual event page for more information.

Upcoming events (1)
See all- Henry Ford Museum Visit - Nerdy Queer Club of Metro DetroitHenry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Dearborn, MI
Let’s check out the Henry Ford Museum! Whether you’ve never visited, or you’ve been a million times, it will be a fun morning exploring the museum and getting to know some new people. Allies are welcome!
Note that the plan for this meet up is only to visit the indoor museum due to the hot July weather. We’ll save the village for a future meetup when it’s a bit more bearable. But feel free to check out the village in the afternoon if you’d like.
When:
We’ll start meeting at 9:45 in front of the huge train at the back entrance of the museum. Look for person holding the rainbow umbrella (not open tho, since we’ll be inside). We’ll start walking around the museum soon after. It will be difficult to find us if you’re running late, so recommend giving yourself some extra time. We’ll officially end our visit around 1:00, but you’re welcome to hang out in the museum as long as you’d like of course!Admission:
Attendees will need to purchase admission on their own at the entrance or on the website. Like many museums and attractions in the area, if you think you will visit the museum again anytime in the next year, it can actually be much cheaper in the long run to buy an annual membership.Accessibility:
- Accessible entrances
- Typically mild volume levels, with quiet spaces available
- Might be crowded
- Some gender neutral restrooms
- You can bring in your own food
- Entirely indoors
- The Henry Ford has detailed accessibility info on their website here. If you have other questions, please feel free to reach out to me and I will do everything I can to get answers. Link
