Mission

Create a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ communities to connect, feel welcomed, and enjoy themselves in New York City. No hate. No discrimination. Only love.

Meet the founder

Lia Athena - My pronouns are they/them. (You can also call me Athena) I identify as a queer pansexual. I am biracial - half Korean, half white - and grew up in New York City. A couple of years ago, I self-published my first novel, Rainbow Plague, which tells the story of a gay, biracial teenager in a near-future dystopian America: one where it becomes illegal to be who we are - to be queer. This success came even though I dropped out of college after my first year in 2018, tried it again in 2022, and dropped out again. College wasn't right for me. Making a difference is.
