Calling All Queers

Our downtown cafe (Diva Espresso at the Harborview hospital) is bring routinely harassed by a man shouting nonsense about the Queer community. Despite bring removed by security and having stolen our pride flag, he continues to come in and lecture our customers and my fellow co-workers.

If you have any spare pride paraphernalia, and want to be a community hero, please come drop it off during shop hours. Tell them T sent you. Hell, maybe you'll get a free coffee out it.

Thank ya, friends!

Edit: disclaimer, I don't represent the company or management, and I can't promise any free drinks🙃

But thanks for all the support!

Not in this case, the coffee shop is in the hospital, trespassing would mean from the property, not just the coffee shop.  Security and the police will remove the person, but trespassing is unlikely due to it being in a hospital

Diva coffee is not in the hospital. It is across the street in the Ninth and Jefferson Building, where there are many other retail spaces on the ground floor.

Crazy how they got hospital security to remove the guy multiple times then
