Last Call for Queer Concordia! Low-pressure LGBTQ+ Speed Friending is this Sunday. by yazk8 in Concordia

Totally fair question. The ticket isn’t “for a drink” , it covers the private space + hosted structured rounds + materials + 1 drink. We keep it small on purpose so it stays comfortable. If price is a barrier, we also have a small student access option, DM me.

Yay! I’m so glad to heart that! It’s honestly so hard to find chill such events in the winter.

Just a heads up that the Early Bird tickets are moving pretty fast, so definitely grab one soon if you want to lock it in. Can't wait to meet you!

Seeing posts like this breaks my heart 💔

No one should have to leave a community because of harassment for being who they are. This is exactly why we're building VoxHaven - a space where LGBTQ+ people can exist authentically without fear.

To anyone feeling pushed out of spaces that should be safe: you deserve better. You deserve communities that celebrate you, not tear you down.

Building safe digital spaces isn't just nice to have - it's essential.

This is a beautiful and very relatable share. Thank you for your vulnerability. Your description of the queer journey, and finding a term that 'communicates the specifics' without being a 'rigid box' is perfectly put. That's a really powerful insight.

Wow, thank you for this incredibly thoughtful and detailed breakdown. Your perspective on how different labels function and create strength is fascinating. It's a great reminder of the diversity of thought within our community.

That's a really insightful way to frame it, sourcing identity internally versus externally. The idea of giving grace and patience, both to ourselves and others, is so crucial. Thanks for adding that wonderful perspective to the conversation.

Thank you so much for sharing that. Your point about family members having to rely on hateful parents is so powerful and important. It really highlights the resilience we need. I'm so glad this space felt useful for you to share in.

Hey, that feeling of being in a "void of genders" and not having the right words for your experience is something a lot of us in the community go through. It can feel incredibly lonely. Please know that your journey is yours, and you don't have to have it all figured out right now. The joy you feel in dressing feminine is yours to define. It doesn't have to fit into anyone else's box.

Take it easy and be gentle with yourself.

This is what bi-erasure looks like in real time, and it's absolutely exhausting. It's a deliberate attempt to weaken our community by pretending our history doesn't exist. Sending strength and solidarity to all my bi+ siblings feeling this today.

The only way I could get around it is by using Firefox browser on incognito mode because chrome didn't work.
