VoQueer is the cantonal LGBTIQ+ association for Vaud, working out of its own space on Rue Pepinet in the middle of Lausanne. It started as VoGay and changed its name when the work widened from lesbian, gay and bisexual questions to gender diversity as well.
The part that matters to a visitor is the Cafe Queer. It runs weekly in the association's own room, open to LGBTIQ+ people of any age from 18, free, with no booking and no need to stay. The evening is built around cooking together and around themed sessions with invited guests, and a psychologist from the association's listening service is there for part of it.
The association also runs listening and support services, training for schools and health professionals, and groups for young people, seniors and professionals. If you want to meet queer Lausanne away from a bar, this is the address.
