What we’re about
Hello other queer (a.k.a. LGBTQIA+) folks of the Asheville area! There are already Meetups for some people within LGBTQIA+ (e.g. groups for gay men, lesbian women etc.), which is great, but wouldn’t it be even MORE fun if we ALL got together for queer fun and frolics?! That’s what I’m proposing for this group: community building fun and bonding for any/everyone who identifies as queer (or as any other part of the rainbow spectrum)!
Don't see events for things you like to do? No worries! That’s why I make everyone who joins an Event Organizer: so you can host events for stuff that you like to do and meet other cool queer folks who like to do the same!
Some Ground Rules:
1. Please be kind. This group is meant to bring people together, not polarize/exclude others. So please, no political debates/events, no insults, no ranting at one another, you get the gist. Also, please just don’t be sexual, violent or creepy: let’s help everyone to feel safe and welcome here!
2. Please KEEP YOUR RSVPs UPDATED! It sucks to plan a party for 20 and only 2 arrive.
3. Standard COVID rules apply: Don't come to Meetups if you're sick (and Update your RSVP!), please wear masks in venues that request them, and if possible please try to host outdoor events or events where spacing out is possible. I'll be keeping the group sizes smaller to try to limit risks of anyone getting/transmitting COVID-19, and I request that any events you host be 15 people or less, for now.
4. Your profile picture MUST show your face! This is to weed out bots and to help people find each other at events. If you are unable to have a profile pic showing your face, please contact me about joining the group.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Sapphic Book Club! - NovemberWhite Duck Taco Shop, Arden, NC
Our November book club pick is a lighter fare - Iris Kelly Doesn't Date. A fake relationship after a horrible one-night stand is anything but an act in this witty and heartfelt new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake.
This is the 3rd book in the Bright Falls series (but can be read as a standalone!). Check out the other books in the series if you have the chance: Delilah Green Doesn't Care #1 and Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail #2.
***
Everyone around Iris Kelly is in love. Her best friends are all coupled up, her siblings have partners that are perfect for them, and her parents are still blissfully married. And she’s happy for all of them, truly. Iris doesn’t want any of that—dating, love, romance. She’ll stick to her commitment-free hookups, thanks very much, except no one in her life will just let her be. Everyone wants to see her settled down, but she holds firmly to her no dating rule. There’s only one problem—Iris is a romance author facing an imminent deadline for her second book, and she’s completely out of ideas.
