Mickey Harmon had been one of the main two organizers for the initial Queertopia at Nietzsche’s on Allen Street in Buffalo.

Now Saturday night’s Queertopia will be a remembrance of Harmon and his partner, Jordan Celotto, who were slain in their home Tuesday. The tragedy is a huge loss to the Allentown and Buffalo communities.

The event’s other main organizer, Scott Rankle, said in a social media post, “I’m still trying to wrap my head around this tragedy. This devastating loss will be with us for a long time, but so will their light and legacy.

“So with that, we’ve decided to suspend our scheduled programming and shift Queertopia into a night of remembrance and celebration of Mickey & Jordan.”

The event will still be Saturday (March 8) at Nietzsche’s, 248 Allen Street, starting at 8 p.m.

Admission will now be free; donations to the Buffalo-Niagara LGBTQ History Project will be accepted. Proceeds from presale tickets will be donated.

Queertopia was intended to “celebrate WNY current queer artists and continue a long, rich history of LGBTQAi+ life in Allentown, Buffalo’s Historic District.” Poets, spoken word artists, musicians, comedians and drag artists were to perform for a two-hour block, followed by a DJ and dancing. Now it’s a memorial to Harmon and Celotto as well.
