No plans over the Memorial Weekend??! Come out to Long Island City and meet other queer Asians! This month’s coffee hour will be at “Break – Billiards Lounge and Cafe” located on Broadway, about a block away from the train. With plenty of entertainment (ping-pong, billiard, air hockey, etc…) and great company, how can you not have fun?

This is a monthly event for everyone who is queer, LBTQ, questioning, and curious! We are here to talk about our concerns, questions, coming-out, staying-in, joy, fear, and all things that happen along the way of these experiences! We’re here to support each other.We’re here to have fun! If you think you’re anywhere from 0.001% to 100% queer, join us at Come ‘N Hang Out!
