The queer invasion was successful at #c3d2. I met lots of very nice people, chatted about very interesting topics and fluffed a lot of cozy creatures. I especially liked the opening round where everyone who felt comfortable with doing so shared a little bit about themselves, which, imo, made it much easier to connect with new people.

The next queer invasion (working title) will happen on March 15th; mark your calendars

@star Glad it went well, sad that I didn't have time. Quick question regarding the color of the bike shed: Doesn't "invasion" suggest that queer people are not native nor welcome to c3d2?

@specificprotagonist Queer people are, as far as my personal observation goes, currently not particularly well considered, represented, or well treated within C3D2. As far as I am aware, the fact that this bi-monthly event even exists has been a HUGE fight, and keeping it alive is also a considerable effort when working against people who'd like to make it go away. Hackerspaces should be queer-native territory. But I personally am afraid that it will take a lot more effort to make this particular space ours again.
