Hanky Code Bear Tea

Hanky Party

Sunday, February 18, 2024
4PM - 10PM
Club Cafe, 209 Columbus Avenue, Boston, MA 02116

Club Cafe  welcomes Mass Bears and Cubs on the third Sunday of every month, and this month's theme is the hanky code, a covert form of sartorial flagging that evolved from its origins in leather culture in the 1970s to become a signal of queer identity and visibility.

The History Project will be selling hankies and providing information on the hanky code throughout the evening!
