Accessibility

The Nest is a one-story residential house with three, small wide steps leading up to the front entrance. A collapsible ramp will be available upon request. The garden/backyard is accessible through the side gate.

We recognize that immunocompromised community members are more likely to get very sick with SARS-CoV-2, the flu, or RSV.

We provide various types of high-quality masks and hand sanitizer at the door of The Nest. Masking is not guaranteed by everyone at each event. However, community members are encouraged to stay home when sick and get regularly tested so that everybody can safely participate. If you are in need of financial assistance in order to purchase a SARS-CoV-2 test, please email queerexpressionstpete@gmail.com or reach out to Queer Expression St Pete via Instagram direct message.

Please find the anonymous covid tracing form here. If you attended a QE event or visited The Nest and have since tested positive, please fill out the information below so we can inform others who attended to test and mask.

Ear plugs, stim toys, and a “calm-down space” are provided in case of overstimulation.

We refrain from using strobe lights or flash photography.

Transportation

St Pete has an average walk score of 43 with over 250,000 residents. A “good” walk score is typically over 70.

Because of this, Queer Expression St Pete is willing to sponsor low-income community members’ ubers, lyfts, gas, or public transportation fees.

If you are in need of transportation to The Nest, please email queerexpressionstpete@gmail.com or reach out to Queer Expression St Pete via Instagram direct message.

Do you take feedback and suggestions?

Yes! We want to hear about your experience at QE so that we can better understand what is working and what needs to be improved! Please fill out this Feedback and Suggestions Form. We look forward to continuously growing, changing, and adapting according to community feedback.
