Queernivorous Plant Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Wendy Wood
Crossbred from specimens collected from Little Shop of Horrors, Super Mario World and Batman and Robin, this queernivorous plant (Florae dentatais) is cultivated exclusively in the bog on the roof of The InQueery HQ. With chlorofiller lips sculpted after Lisa Rinna and genetically modified to secret venom, this member of the sundew family is 50 percent plastic, 50 percent poison.

Gay Childhood Christmas Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Colin Verdi
Nobody knows whose beheaded Pierrot clown ornament it was or how it came into your parents’ possession. Never something they would buy, it has always just…existed. Each year someone threatened to throw this creepy clown out. But no matter who packed up Christmas the year before, there it was as you unwrapped the ornaments at the start of the season. “It’s like it follows you around,” they say.

The Iced Coffee Claw Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Derya Altan
The iconography of the Iced Coffee Code was developed through ten years of double-blind study into queer coffee culture.

Rendered in various shimmering mediums, this Claw makes vivid the original purpose of the oft-maligned limp wrist.

The Branded Tote Bag Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Nora MacLeod
When it comes to same-sex baggage, the canvas tote is the G.O.A.T. (Gayest of All Time). Its sheer ubiquity renders it invisible to the average people-watcher, but the trained eye knows there is more to this cloth accessory than its contents. Even the most simple tote is laden with subtext: size, shape, branding, and, most crucially, how it’s carried can broadcast the type of queer you are to the knowing community. Handle with care!

Playbill Shoebox Ornament (Act I) Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Greg Kozatek
More than high school yearbooks, Disney VHS tapes, or tag-on Beanie Babies, the playbill shoebox acts as a portkey to queer sentimentality. This makeshift cardboard sarcophagus jammed with pretty little magazines represents the full spectrum between hoarding and curation. One day you’ll put them all in plastic sleeves or something, but at least your Wicked program is signed by Idina Menzel AND Kristen Chenoweth.

Weathervane Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Brian Britigan
This weathervane, from the The InQueery’s Invisible Forces Department, is fashioned in the classic style.

Aqueerium Ornament Raffle Ticket
Handmade by Eliza Reisfeld
Students on the hero’s journey to Bobby Berk-dom eventually face the greatest challenge, the ultimate tableaux, the vessel that houses life: the ten-gallon fish tank. A true Aqueerium is marked by aquatic vegetation, rainbow gravel, mysterious caverns, bubbling booty and, most crucially, ruins. A childhood spent applying feng shui practices to their mother’s closet well prepares the young queer to create balance in a tiny world of their own.
