Шаблон:Infobox organization

Deaf Queer Men Only (DQMO) is an international biennial gathering for Deaf queer men.[1][2][3][4] DQMO was founded in San Francisco in 2008 and six cities in three countries have hosted DQMO.[1] The mission of DQMO is to "provide a nurturing space for multicultural Deaf queer men to gather, build networks, share emotional support, and expand knowledge about civil rights, health, leadership and multicultural identities."[5][6][7]

Each DQMO features workshops and social events organized by a volunteer host committee of Deaf queer men based in that city. All attendees at DQMO may bid to host the next DQMO and vote on bids.

History

The Deaf Lesbian Festival helped inspire the creation of DQMO. The eight founders of DQMO were Don Baer, Jim Brune, Daniel Girard, Todd Higgins, Brian Martinez, Ken Mikos, David Weiss, and Butch Zein.[8]

The inaugural DQMO in 2008 included a "Cum Out" welcome party and a "Wipe Off" closing ceremony, preceded by an announcement that the host committee was "hard" at work planning the event.[9] This humor and sex-positivity has remained throughout DQMO's history, including in 2018's "Blue Ball" gala.

In 2016, the Deafies in Drag participated in DQMO.[10]
