Feeling like you're on the sidelines of social scenes? Come join us at Queer Speed Friending and let's change that together! ✨️‍️‍
About this Event

🎉 We're teaming up with White Horse to host an electrifying evening where queer folks can connect, laugh, build meaningful friendships, and dance the night away! 🕺

🌈 Your host, KC, will kick things off with thought-provoking questions for you and your new friend to explore. 💬

⏱️ Each mini-hangout lasts between 5 to 8 minutes - plenty of time to spark a connection!

Don't worry, we've got your back with handy sheets to keep track of who you want to keep in touch with! 📝 Contact info will be exchanged when both participants want to share and your social circle will blossom! 🌸

After speed friending there will be a DJ and each ticket to speed friending comes with entry into the dance party! ✨🕺

This event is more than just an evening out; it's a celebration of community, love, and joy! 💖

Don't miss out on the chance to find your chosen family in time for Pride! Join us and let's make magic happen! ✨

This event is open to LGBTQIA+ folks as well as allies! 🏳️‍🌈
