No schedule. No pressure. Just a caf\u00e9, a table (or several), and a space where LGBTQIA+ people across Cyprus can just exist.<\/p><p>The idea is simple. We meet at a caf\u00e9. You show up whenever you can. You grab a coffee, sit down, and do whatever you&#8217;d do at any kafeneio. Read a book. Catch up with someone. Scroll your phone. Play tavli. Or just be. The only difference is you&#8217;re surrounded by queer people and allies, and you don&#8217;t have to explain yourself.<\/p><p>Queer Kafene is a drop-in. No registration, no commitment, no obligation to be social. Come for twenty minutes or stay all afternoon. Come alone. Bring someone. It&#8217;s yours.<\/p><p>**Why are we doing this?**<\/p><p>Because there&#8217;s no casual, recurring queer gathering space in Cyprus. Queer Kafene is where that starts. A coffee, a conversation (or not), and a space where you can just be.<\/p><p>We&#8217;re also reclaiming something. The traditional Cypriot kafeneio has always been a space for gathering, for tavli, for sitting and talking for hours. It&#8217;s also always been a space that excluded us.<\/p><p>**What&#8217;s next**<\/p><p>Queer Kafene runs on a [bi-weekly \/ regular] basis. We rotate between caf\u00e9s across Nicosia.<\/p><p>Follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/queercollectivecy\">Instagram<\/a> for announcements, or DM or email us with any questions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queer Kafene is our new series of open coffee hangouts where we take up space.
