Calling all queer veg heads

Are you a LGBTQ vegetarian or vegan? Want to meet other LGBTQ vegetarians or vegans? Earthsave Canada is hosting an event designed just for you.

A social event for queer veg folk who want to meet other LGBTQ persons, the dinner will be held at a the family-run Ethiopian restaurant Gojo Cafe on Commercial Drive. They restaurant features their homestyle recipes and even make their own Injerra, the Ethiopian bread the food is served on.

An all-inclusive price of $16 ($14 for Earthsave Canada members) will get you a variety of seven different Ethiopian dishes including such things as Yatikilt Wat (green beans, carrots, bell peppers, onions & tomatoes sautéed in garlic), Kik Alicha (delicately spiced chickpeas and pureed vegetables) and of course the Injerra.

"We are a non-profit that hosts monthly dineouts at the best restaurants around the city for reduced prices," explained organizer Justin Go. "More recently, our queer members have been demanding for a space where they can meet other queer vegans and vegetarians in a comfortable social setting. After lots of planning, we are finally hosting our first queer meetup event next month at this amazing family-run Ethiopian cafe. And while this meetup is intended to be more queer-specific, the event is all-inclusive and organizers will not turn anyone away as long as they are queer-friendly and enjoy amazing veg cuisine."

Earthsave Canada is a non-profit, educational organization promoting awareness of the environmental, ethical and health consequences of our food choices. Earthsave Canada advocates the move towards a plant-based diet for environmental sustainability, better health, and compassion toward non-human animals.
