Welcome to Queer Hangout in Drammen!
About us
Queer Hangout is a meetingplace for gay, lesbian, trans, questioning/experimenting and other queer people in Drammen. We are a volunteer organization that meets twice a month, and also has a private facebookgroup where people plan their own activities, like birthdays, christmas workshops, forest walks and more.
Queer Hangout is not only a friendgroup, but also a group of activists that work against loneliness in the queer community. Many feel they don't belong in the queer community, maybe because they're in a wheelchair and the venue has no ramps, or because you belong to a exposed minority like muslims or sex workers. We try to make everyone feel welcome, and work with every member and relevant organizations (Like Skeiv Verden) to achieve this.

Rules
- Be nice to people. Queer Hangout includes exposed minorities like muslims, sex workers, disabled people, trans people, etc. As long as you're willing to learn and be respectful, you will be fine. Bigotry will not be accepted.
- Only queer people can go to our events. This includes if you are unsure or exploring identities. It is 100% okay to bring an assistant or a non-queer friend for support.
- Ask before you contact someone outside of Queer Hangouts. Not everyone is out of the closet! Don't give out other peoples contact information without permission, even to someone else in the group.
