How you can look if a business is LGBTQ+ :rainbow_flag: friendly?

  • Look for Gender neutral bathrooms - if a business have gender neutral bathrooms, then the business is LGBTQ+ friendly
  • Look for any poster or signs - if a business have poster or signs of LGBTQ+ related, then probably the buisness would be LGBTQ+ friendly.
  • LGBTQ+ related menu items - if a businesses (probably cafes or restaurants), have LGBTQ+ related menu items ( would be around for pride month). Then the businesses would be LGBTQ+ friendly.
  • Ask staff or Owner - easy way to find if a business is LGBTQ+ friendly is to ask the staff or the owner if available.
  • Word of mouth - you can also find LGBTQ+ friendly businesses by word of mouth of other local guides.

Please note : this is how I find a business is LGBTQ+ Friendly if they didn’t enabled it. Please also share on how you find a business is LGBTQ+ Friendly.

Share unique cafes/Bubble tea store where you had a drink to beat the heat of the summer and to participate in the challenge of @MathanVibranarayan.

Frozen bottle seems to be a pan-India brand.
We have a few outlets in Pune as well.
The exterior and interior are similar, being a franchise.
Nice coverage @Rahul001 - all photos are fabulous.
The best part is that we can take the bottle home as a souvenir or for other utility :+1:

Hi @MoniDi @AngieYC

Calling your attention to these 3 comments that are 2 comments above :backhand_index_pointing_up:

Considering that it is a genuine account, is a business account allowed to respond to a Connect post in this fashion?

Also @ErmesT
