A WORD ABOUT OUR SAFER-SPACE POLICY: This event is meant to provide a safer space in which for folks in Los Angeles across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to be themselves. Whether you are there to flirt, network, make friends, or just hang out and mingle, please do not assume anything about anyone’s gender identity, sexuality, or intention for being in this space. While this event is BYOB, please respect that Rainbow Fish is not meant as a party-heavy atmosphere.
ABOUT YOUR LESBIYENTA: my name is Keely Marina Weiss, and I’m a white, cis, able-bodied, neurotypical queer gal. I try my best to be as considerate of everyone’s needs as possible, but if I fuck up please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure to do better—I want RAINBOW FISH to be a safe environment!
