Consent First:

• Consent is the cornerstone of our community. Always ask for and respect the boundaries of others. This applies to all forms of interaction, be it physical or verbal. No photography, video, or recording of any kind is allowed without prior verbal consent of all parties involved. Anyone who violates these rules may be asked to leave the event.
  • Verbal Consent: Please be sure to ask and wait for a yes before hugging or initiating any physical contact, and encourage each other to speak openly about consent and personal boundaries. This helps foster a culture where personal boundaries are supported and attendees are empowered to speak confidently of their limits. (i.e. “Can I give you a hug?” “No thank you, but I would love a handshake.”)

Be Respectful

• Respectful Communication: Treat all members and hosts with respect and kindness. Personal attacks, threats, bullying, or any form of disrespectful behavior are strictly prohibited.
• Inclusivity: We welcome people from all walks of life. Discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other personal characteristics will not be tolerated.
• Expectations: Our events are about developing friendships and connections within the community. Check your expectations at the door. Being at this event does not signal sexual availability or indicate any aspect of sexual orientation. This is a no cruising event, in order to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for our guests.
  • What does "no cruising" mean?

Look Out For One Another:

• Because our events are open to the public it's important that take extra precautions beyond what may be typical at other events in our community. Watch out for your and others' uncovered drinks, and let a host know if you notice anything that seems suspicious.

Digital Etiquette:

• For online discussions, maintain the same level of respect and consent as you would in person. Do not share personal information without consent, and avoid dominating the conversation.

<aside> 💡 Violations of these guidelines may result in the offender being asked to leave the event or being removed from the community. The wellbeing of our community members is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a comfortable and safe environment for everyone.
