Beyond the Plus is a Seattle based Radqueer organization founded in 2025. On their website, they claim to be against gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community and for the inclusion of groups such as MAPs. MAP groups have (see ILGA) been officially excluded from LGBTQ+ umbrella organizations and some pride festivities since around 1994.
Via their social media, they have posted about their work at pride events in their local area, which includes setting up information tents and handing out badges featuring symbolism from traditional and radical queer identities.
The organisation has had a mixed reception on social media, with one Mastodon account getting banned for vague reasons. Its founder responded that the organisation can not be banned from real life and stated their intent to continue promoting their work at public events.
