House of Carnation

**House of Carnation: A Community for the Outliers** House of Carnation is a safe space for people who have felt like "outliers"—particularly LGBTQ+ individuals navigating an increasingly hostile world. In a time when social spaces are closing, social media has become toxic, and genuine community feels harder to find, we're building something different: a supportive network where your authentic self is celebrated, not tolerated. We believe that while we may control nothing in this chaotic world, we can influence everything. Through personal growth, meaningful connection, and collective action, we're creating ripples of positive change—one person, one community at a time. If you've been struggling to find a community that makes you feel included, then you've found your new family! The House of Carnation is all about community. We play games, we hang out, we craft, we are a family of outliers here to make sure everyone has a home. Because here, you are NOYO—Never On Your Own.
