About this Event

The monthly LGBTQ+ Book Club meets @ Federico at 7:30 p.m. Simply ask the manager for the Book Club table.

We will discuss Horny: Sex Without Scruples by Brad Deep.

Everyone welcome. Please RSVP in advance by emailing [email protected] . If you wish to optionally dine (on separate checks of course), the menu is at https://www.federicoristoranteitaliano.com/menu/dinner

The Book Club, hosted by EQUALITY NoVa, is yet another opportunity to engage in a fun and rewarding activity. We meet monthly, usually on the third Thursday of each month, at Federico’s for a lively discussion of that month’s selected book. We don’t discriminate when it comes to genre, we read – from classic literature to best selling novels to biographies to histories to gay fiction!

EQUALITY NoVa serves Northern Virginia's LGBTQ+ and Allies and is a strong beacon for equality. It is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) nonprofit open to all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) people and straight allies. It provides fun social activities, builds relationships with elected officials, and works with civic groups on community service. For more information, visit https://www.equalitynova.org

This event is promotionally supported by , Washington DC's inclusive LGBTQ+ community focused on friendship, leadership, and service. It now reaches over 10K fabulous people. Visit https://www.gogaydc.com

Casual attire is fine.

Metro Directions: Be eco-friendly. Crystal City Metro station on the Yellow/Blue lines is the closest Metro stop. When you arrive, go out the station, walk towards your left to 18th Street and then veer right and walk under the Route 1 overpass to Eads St. Turn left and walk to 23rd Street. Turn right. Federico is half a block up 23ed Street on your right.

Parking is usually available nearby on the residential side streets.

About 10 LGBTQ+ folk regularly attend.

There's no need to print out and show me your Eventbrite ticket.

Please be sure to tag any event photos on social with #gogaydc

This event is a safe, inclusive space for everyone under the rainbow. This event is for all ages. Remember to bring your ID, as everyone who wishes to drink alcohol is carded of course.
