Coming Out, Being Out - Peer Discussion (Weekly)
**Description**
Coming Out Being Out (COBO) is a peer discussion group that has served the LGBT community for over 15 years in downtown Toronto. We meet to share stories and opinions, challenges and triumphs at all stages of coming out and being out.
COBO participants are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit and questioning people. We welcome all who identify under the banner of queer sexual orientation and gender identity.
**What We Do**
\|\-\| COBO participants are often seeking to:
* Understand what experiences others have in coming out to family, friends and their respective communities.
* Develop comfort in discussing their identity with others.
* Meet others having the same experiences when it comes to living openly.
* Receive the encouragement of peers.
\|\-\| Regular topics of discussion include:
* How people choose to come out (at work, with family, with friends).
* Where to find others like us in the community.
* Challenges and triumphs in navigating family and partner relationships.
**Where & When**
* Every Wednesday from 6-8pm
* Community meeting space at Casey House - 119 Isabella St., Toronto
**How to Access the Meeting**
Registration on Meetup is not required to attend. Attendance is on a drop-in basis. The front door to our meeting space at Casey House is controlled by the main floor receptionist. To access the space when you arrive:
* Press the button to the left of the main entrance door.
* Tell the receptionist that you are there for the COBO meeting.
* You will be buzzed in and someone from our group will come to show you to the meeting.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON WEDNESDAY!
*COBO is a community group led by non-professional peer facilitators and is not a Casey House program.*

Coffee meetup for shy and socially anxious people
Our coffee shop meetup now takes place every other Saturday. Come out to meet and chat with your fellow members of the Toronto Social Anxiety Support group in a supportive environment.
**IMPORTANT: This group is intended to provide a safe space for people with social anxiety who may feel inhibited in louder, more extroverted environments. Please respect the nature of this group and do not attend if you are not in this category. There are many other groups available on Meetup.**
**When**: 5pm - 7pm
**Where to meet**: Alternity Café, just west of St. George Street, on the south side of Bloor. Vegan café with a chill vibe. Here is their website: https://alternity.ca/pages/our-place
**Reminder**: Like all our events, the group's code of conduct applies. Pls make this a successful outing by being courteous and respectful in language and behaviour, and supportive towards other members, especially those with higher anxiety.
**Covid/flu safety**: If you are sick or have recently been exposed to someone who is sick, pls use your judgement about attending this event. You can always come to the next event when you feel better.
Be Yourself...Oh, Not Like That!
**Emilia Strilchuk on the storytelling of the self: a conversation with Stephanie Cooke.**
While TCAF approaches, RAID hosts Canadian-Ukrainian artist Emilis Strilchuk for a conversation on storytelling of the self, because sometimes the struggle is real: how do you write about yourself?
Together with Emilia, we will explore this question through her graphic memoir *Be Yourself...Oh, Not Like That*, a work that traces her journey from childhood to adulthood through the lens of an autism diagnosis received later in life.
*Be Yourself...Oh, Not Like That* touches on the everyday misunderstandings of invisible disability: being called “lazy” when asking for support, “rude” when social rules don’t land, or being told you “don’t look autistic.”
Between humour, frustration, and clarity, it reflects on what happens when your internal experience doesn’t match the world’s expectations and how writing and art can be an outlet to process feelings and life changes.
Emilia will be in conversation with writer Stephanie Cooke .
Some of her graphic novels include ParaNorthern, Oh My Gods, Pillow Talk, and The Racc Pack series, with bestselling creator, Whitney Gardner.
She’s additionally worked on titles such as ***My Little Pony, Cat Ninja, Archie Comics***, and more.
**Doors open at 6:30 PM.**
**Enjoy a complimentary drink with your ticket!**
**Extra snacks and drinks will be available for purchase on site.**

🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ Brunch at Amphora in Herndon with Dulles Triangles
What's better than brunch? Brunch with the LGBTQ+ community, of course! Join the Dulles Triangles at 11:00 AM for a dazzling brunch at **[Amphora Diner](http://amphoragroup.com/amphoras-diner-deluxe/)**, located at **1151 Elden St, Herndon, VA 20170**. This is your chance to catch up with old pals, make some new ones, and bask in the glory of a Sunday well-brunched!
Amphora’s menu is as diverse as our community, offering everything from omelets and pancakes to divine bakery treats. Seriously, their pastries are more irresistible than a shirtless Ryan Gosling holding a puppy!
**RSVP Required!** Amphora needs a headcount beforehand, and adding seats at the last minute is like trying to squeeze into last year’s pride outfit—tricky! To ensure you get a seat at the brunch extravaganza, RSVP on Meetup or in the Dulles Triangles Facebook group by the day before. Those who RSVP get priority seating, and we promise not to judge if you show up in sequins. Remember to ask for Dulles Triangles when you arrive. Use the links below to RSVP and secure your spot faster than you can say "mimosas."
This event is usually held on the first Sunday of each month, but check for updates because we like to keep things as flexible as our dance moves. Keep an eye on the current schedule so you don't miss out!
