Join QCRU for our first event of 2024: an afternoon of community connection! Meet your queer and trans neighbors, find new friends, chat up some cuties, and build a more interconnected Baltimore, one five-minute conversation at a time.

⏰🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒💞 Speed meet – rounds will be held from 1-3pm, arrive early to sign up in person! Rounds will be seated with the option to stand and speed-mingle on the clock if you miss the sign-up window. We’ll provide color-coded stickers to flag what you’re looking for (covid cautious connections, t4t dating, people to join your support constellation, etc.), and dance cards to jot down your impressions of the folks you’re meeting. We’ll have a designated over-30 group for all the eligible #queerelders to opt into.

👚🩳♻️ Clothing swap – in between rounds, or while waiting your turn, find your new summer gender~

This event is for trans, nonbinary, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, intersex, asexual, 2spirit+ Baltimore City community members. Allies invested in trans liberation are welcome to join us.

To make this space more accessible for our disabled, chronically ill, and immunocompromised neighbors and as a reflection of our commitment to community care, masks are required for this event. Please do not attend if you are symptomatic or have had a recent exposure. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe. <3
