Bleecker to launch LGBTQ+ awareness event series
The first event will be held at Bleecker’s Bloomberg Arcade site on 4 December.
Burger concept Bleecker is hosting a LGBTQ+ awareness event series on December in part of its celebration of the 50th-year commemoration of the Stonewall Inn riots in the US, which have marked the birth of modern queer activism.
In partnership with beer brand Brooklyn Brewery and creative agency Improper, the Rage for Good series is dedicated to the unsung people championing LGBTQ+ rights.
“At a time of political uncertainty, when our hard-won rights and freedoms can feel precarious and so many rights are still denied to the LGBTQ+ community, it’s vital to create welcoming environments for robust, open discussion, as well as a space for reflection, camaraderie and friendship,” Bleecker founder Zan Kaufman said in a statement.
The first event, which will be held at Bleecker’s Bloomberg Arcade site on 4 December, will center on the diminishing LGBTQ+ spaces in London and will feature speakers like comedian Sapphire McIntosh and RVT Future’s researcher Ben Walters.
Tickets are available online, which includes a Bleecker Burger, a side of fries and a pint of Brooklyn Brewery Stonewall Inn IPA.
