Supporting reporters in our community
In 1983, a group called the Queen City Quordinators started publishing a small, monthly newsletter named “Q-Notes” to serve the Charlotte LGBTQ community. The newsletter only ran for a short time but was soon reborn as a print newspaper with its first issue publishing in June 1986.
Today, Qnotes and QnotesCarolinas.com is the only surviving LGBTQ news organization in the Carolinas. With a biweekly print edition and robust online presence, we are your source for LGBTQ local news, voices and community.
We need your help more than ever to serve the local LGBTQ community and create a welcoming space to connect and share our unique and diverse stories.
The Qnotes LGBTQ Journalism Program provides support for the work of QnotesCarolinas.com to educate and inform the public in communities in the Carolinas about LGBTQ issues and cultures. This project is administered by Local Media Foundation (LMF), a 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with Local Media Association. Contributions to this program are tax-deductible to the full extent of U.S. law; please consult a tax advisor for details.
- Qnotes and QnotesCarolinas.com is the only surviving LGBTQ news organization in the Carolinas.

- As an LGBTQ news organization, service to the community is above all else.
