To be an ever-growing network that fosters empowerment, solidarity, visibility, and inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies in the Dan River Region.
Our Mission
Collidescope aims to grow connectedness to inclusive social events, business related resources, and health opportunities for LGBTQ+ community members in Southern Virginia by maintaining a visible community presence, hosting events, and actively collaborating with ally businesses, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations.
Your generous donation will go directly to support Collidescope VA, a social movement dedicated to bringing exposure and acceptance to the LGBTQ+ community.
Your contribution will help us in our mission to:
Expand our Ally Network: We continuously engage with local businesses, organizations, and faith-based groups to stand as allies with the LGBTQ+ community. Your donation will help us grow this network, providing more safe spaces where individuals can be accepted without prejudice.
Host inclusive Events: From drag shows to book talks, movies nights, bowling socials, bingo nights, and queer cafes, we strive to provide inclusive occasions for LGBTQ+ community members and their allies. Your support will allow us to host more of these events at various businesses and event spaces.
Change the Norm: Together, we present a united and diverse front, changing societal norms and creating a world where all are welcome and accepted.

Ally Spotlight
Ballad Brewing
From Collidescope’s onset, Ballad Brewing had our backs! They were the first to step up and provide a venue for our PRIDE party, release a special Pride beer every June, the Love Wins Wheat IPA, and they are just all around great folks who make great beer. From the owners down to the part-time beer advocates, Ballad takes being an ally with grace, fun, and style. Wanna tasty brew or seltzer and feel safe in an LGBTQ+ ally environment? Ballad has all of this plus fire pits and pinball machines!
