VSDC LGBTQ+ Coffee & Chatting

Let's have a coffee chat! Come out to converse with fellow veg and veg-curious LGBTQ+ folks at the queer space called "As You Are." As You Are serves coffee as well as alcoholic beverages and has a few vegan items on their menu. There is always a great vibe at As You Are and there are games and other activities available that we can do as a group, if people are interested in that. When: Thursday, November 19 from 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm Where: As You Are cafe and bar (500 8th St. SE) Transportation: As You Are is very close to the Eastern Market metro stop on the Blue/Orange/Silver lines. Cost: Free but please support As You Are with at least a beverage purchase. About the Group Unless noted otherwise, VSDC's LGBTQ+ events are intended for queer/questioning folks who self-identify as LGBTQ+. The events are meant to serve as a safe space to share community with other self-identified queer or questioning LGBTQ+ vegan or vegan-curious people. However, we appreciate our allies and we plan to host "LGBTQ+ & ALLIES" events approximately quarterly - to welcome non-queer allies into our events in order to share community with our fellow vegans/veg curious VSDC participants. If the event is an "& ALLIES" event, it will be clearly identified as such in the name of the event. Any person who participates in an "& ALLIES" event must be supportive of LGBTQ+ persons, their lifestyle, and their gender expression; unsupportive or combative individuals will be removed from events and banned from future VSDC LGBTQ+ events. Please note that any and all questions related to gender/LGBTQ+ issues that may arise during either LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ+ & ALLIES events must be posed ONLY to event host, Susan, and not be asked of any other meetup participants in order to respect their privacy and promote their personal safety.
