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](https://asyouaredc.com/pages/the-space). 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](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7pBU6o5zLqYkSGo3A))

Transportation: As You Are is very close to the [Eastern Market metro stop ](https://www.wmata.com/ridertools/station/eastern-market)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.*
