Bryant Park Queer Asian Invasion!
3rd Annual NYC Queer Asian Youth Picnic
Where? Bryant Park, NYC (we’ll be on the lawn)
When? Sunday, August 8th from 2 PM – 4 PM
How Much? FREE
Description:
What better way to spend the summer than taking over one of NYC’s most beloved parks? Join NYC’s young queer Asian community as we take over Bryant Park for our 3rd annual picnic. We’ll bring the food, drinks and games. Just bring yourself! Oh, wait that’s a lie. Bring a blanket if you got one AND if you got a game you want to play, bring that too.
Not only is this a chance to catch some rays and relax a little bit in the heart of NYC, this is also a chance to meet other queer Asian youth in the city.
This picnic is open only to LGBT Asians and South Asians of all genders ages 26 and under. Questions? Send to downetime@gmail.com or call Dennis at 609-954-2111.
Co-sponsored by Downetime, GAPIMNY’s Young Adult Group, SALGA and Q-WAVE
