No Means No, No Matter the Context
Consent matters so we’re saying it again. No’s are to be taken seriously at our events, please respect a persons right to say no!
Asking for contact information of someone you’d like to get to know? Asking someone out on a date? If it’s a No, it means no. Don’t take it personally and move on to the next conversation!
