Allies & Appetizers

Allies & Appetizers

Mission Statement

To create safe spaces, filled with great conversation and a new understanding of how to better love and respect our LGBTQ+ family.

Checklist for Allies & Appetizers events:

  1. Pick a night during the first week of each month to host the gathering.
  2. Notify Peculiar of the address and time of your gathering one week prior to the event so we can share the list on Peculiar and other social media sites.
  3. Advertise the event on social media, word of mouth, and other connections you have. We have created an announcement template that you can use to help advertise your event. Learn how to use it here.

Outline for your event:

  1. Invite an LGBTQ+ person to share their story and teach the group what it means to be a great ally. 
  2. Share and teach elements of the Peculiar Curriculum, Unconditional Family, that will be shared each month.
  3. Allow for questions, comments, and friendly open conversations.
  4. Prepare simple appetizers or snacks as well as invite quests to bring something.
