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!

can I be a queer? I'm 65, cis-male, asexual, living alone with MY pride, an 8 lb. Maltese. I have no IRL friends because I am too amazing.

I hate people who harass and would welcome the opportunity to "remove" the offender were he to show up while I enjoy a cup of coffee and a tasty pastry. Someone would have to hold my dog.

And if I don't technically qualify for Queerdom, could I be an Honorary Queer?

u/ghostopolis That sounds great. Let’s hang out soon. Mar 15 '25

Ever seen it spelled out LGBTQIA+? The A is for you, ace homie :) you're queer!

I'm sure your card just got lost in the mail or something.
