Sometimes we just need some encouragement from others, or not to be alone with this. Other times we might have very specific questions or need support with an admin task. Or someone who signs our deed poll, proof reads an email, helps us to write a complaint.
Whatever you are bringing to the sessions, chances are that someone else has experience with this or tips for you.

Queer Armenian Social
2026-02-21 18:00 - 20:00 (Europe/London) | London LGBTQ+ Community Centre, 60-62 Hopton Street, Thames Path, Bankside, London, England, SE1 9JH, United Kingdom
Join us for a relaxed social full of bonding, discussion, and chitter-chatter!

As queer people, it can be hard for us to bond with Armenians in the UK, while as Armenians in UK queer spaces we often struggle to find people who can connect with our Armenian side – the music, movie references, language, Armenian political anxiety.
The aim of the Queer Armenian Social is to create a regular opportunity for queer Armenians to meet and make friends who understand them in their entirety – their queerness and Armenian-ess alike. This is our space.
