RFSL Linköping is the local branch of RFSL, the Swedish federation for LGBTQI rights. It has its own premises on Nygatan in the city centre, and that is where most of what it runs takes place. Nobody needs to be a member to come along.
The café is the easiest way in. It is coffee, something sweet and no agenda, open to queer people of every age, and first-timers get a proper welcome. Some sessions become a craft café instead, where people bring their own projects and the main language is English. There are board game meetups too.
Several groups meet here: one for 18 to 30 year olds, one for people over 40, meetings for trans people only, and Newcomers, a network for LGBTQI migrants. The choir, Qören, rehearses elsewhere in town, and the association also runs a queer pub night at a beer café in the centre, open to anyone over 18.
RFSL Linköping organises Linköping Pride, including a Pride House at the city library during Pride week. Its counselling service for Östergötland offers support to LGBTQI people in person, by phone, by video and by email.
