What's the vibe? At first it will be classic support group vibes- we will set up group agreements, introduce ourselves, talk about things we like, things that are important to us, have snacks, have an activity we choose together and learn about cool things in our local community or in our larger queer community. Eventually we can plan for bigger and cooler activities like outings, guest speakers, and special get togethers. The goal is that everyone starts succeeding in ways they want to!
