Queer Events in NYC | Sun. December 8 - Sat. December 14, 2024
Wowowow there are more than 50+ events listed for this week – free events! masked events! virtual events! there’s something for everyone.
FOR TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES: something happened and the newsletter did not send on Dec. 7. This was an oversight and a mistake and I’m super sorry!! I am publishing this newsletter on 12/13 for two reasons: 1) the events today and tomorrow and 2) because while the events from Sun-yesterday have passed, you should still check out the organizers to see what they have going on in the future. AGAIN, SO SORRY! I’ll do better. <33
Welcome back to this week’s Queer on the Street round up for queer events happening across New York City. Please note: depending on your email provider, the newsletter may be “clipped” sooo just click on see full message at the very bottom xoxoxo
