FAQ About The Influence of LGBTQ+ Ball Culture on Fashion
What is the significance of 'houses' in ballroom culture?
In ballroom culture, 'houses' are like families or teams that offer community and support for LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those who are marginalized or homeless. They are named often after fashion designers, reflecting a deep connection to the fashion world. Each house is led by a 'Mother' or 'Father,' and they compete in balls to earn recognition and trophies. Houses are central to the community, fostering creativity, solidarity, and a sense of belonging.
