Covid Conscious Lesbian Takeover: Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

Make new Covid Conscious lesbian friends! Come join us for a night at the BBG, with $10 tickets courtesy of the wonderful BBG!

The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens have so very kindly invited us to their Pride event on 6/25, and even offered us discounted $10 tickets! Please continue reading or go through the photo slides above to find out how to get your ticket. RSVPing to this event does NOT give you a ticket, it is just an RSVP. You will still need to buy an actual ticket on the BBG website!

Are you a Covid Conscious lesbian looking to make friends with other Covid Conscious lesbians? Meet us at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden at 6PM on 06/1825Masks will be required + provided!

Takeover events are a way for us to take up space as Covid Conscious lesbians and help regular social outings feel less isolating. We will also be bringing Covid resources and PPE to distribute like masks, Covid tests, and info zines!

What is a Covid Conscious Takeover?
Our takeover meetups allow us an opportunity to take up space as Covid Conscious lesbians, in spaces that are typically not catered towards us. We know how isolating it can feel to be the only one masking in a room, and we want to do everything we can to alleviate that loneliness in regular social outings- whether it’s a night at a bar, day at the museum, or simple trip to the park. It’s also a wonderful way for us to support local businesses! By taking advantage of otherwise slow nights, we help bring business to our favorite local spots, all while limiting our exposure with non CC folks. These meetups also serve as a way for us to help distribute Covid resources and PPE like masks, Covid tests, and info zines. 🙂

We are aware we cannot force every single other person to mask in the public spaces we choose for these meetups. But we find that the more of us there are masking and the more space we take up, the safer we can help each other feel. So while we understand that we cannot require other folks in public spaces to mask, we kindly ask that you do not attend this meetup unless you plan to wear a mask. Going out will never be 100% Covid risk free, but events like this help minimize that risk by allowing us to take space with others taking similar precautions. Lez Night Out is a lesbian social events group that has and will always continue to prioritize Covid Consciousness at our events. Masking is one of the easiest ways to practice community care, and we want nothing more than to protect that community. This is how we keep each other safe!

Accessibility

High-filtration masks/respirators (KN95 or better) will be required and provided for LNO allattendees. Unfortunately we cannot require non LNO patrons of this event to mask, so please feel free to stay home if that is too high risk for you. We will be outdoors. If you are feeling sick (even if you don’t think it’s COVID), have recently been exposed, or in a high-risk situation, we ask that you please stay home! This is how we keep each other safe.
