❤️ Everyone is welcome - queer, questioning, and allies.
🧡 We follow the Vegas Rule: what happens here stays here - safety first - please don't out your fellow community members.
💛 Ouch! Oops! - please hold yourself accountable in our space if you make a mistake, or say or do something hurtful, as we all do at times. Even if you had good intentions, please consider your impact
💚 We ask that if you are feeling unwell to please stay home and care for yourself
💙 We encourage masking to help protect our most vulnerable community members—let’s keep each other safe while we celebrate!
