Beyond the Plus (BtP) is a Seattle-based Radqueer organization founded in 2025.
Relationship with LGBTQ+ community
On their website, BtP claim to be against gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community and for the inclusion of groups such as MAPs within their own organization. While they also state they are inclusive towards LGBTQ+ people, they do not present themselves as pushing for their own inclusion within the mainstream LGBTQ+ community. MAP groups have (see ILGA) been officially excluded from LGBTQ+ umbrella organizations and some pride festivities since around 1994.
Outreach
Via their social media, BtP 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.
Online
The organization has had a mixed reception on social media, with one Mastodon account getting banned for vague reasons. Bluesky has also taken action to ban the organization, but has since stated that it will adopt rules in October 2025 that do not forbid anything it posts. Its founder responded that the organization can not be banned from real life and stated their intent to continue promoting their work at public events.
