About this place COC Limburg

COC Limburg is the regional branch of COC Nederland, the Dutch LGBTQ+ rights organisation and one of the oldest such groups in the world. Based at Bogaardenstraat 43 in central Maastricht, it works across the province on emancipation, visibility and support, funded by the Province of Limburg and local municipalities. For visitors, COC Limburg is best known for what it runs rather than as a nightlife venue: it operates Cafe Rose, the city's long-standing queer bar at the same address, and programmes including the Jong&Out youth group (second Saturday of the month), the Dionyx network for queer students and the recurring Queer Factory parties at the Muziekgieterij music venue. It is also the point of contact for newcomers, LGBTQ+ refugees and anyone looking to connect with the local community. You can find current activities, opening times and contact details at coclimburg.nl. Whether you are after the social side at Cafe Rose, a youth or student meetup, or simply information and a friendly welcome, COC Limburg is the backbone of organised LGBTQ+ life in Maastricht and Limburg.

I'll write this in english so it can be understood across the board. This may be a long review! This is just a personal point of view. And i am not speaking for anyone else. As to explain what it is, COC is a LGBT organisation. A few years back, speaking of the year between 2018 and 2019. I participated with the organisation. I was begin 19-20's. Confused and lost as most younger homosexuals/bisexuals. At first, it was rather pleasant to be accepted. Especially after such a rough start to life. In due time. I participated in events and more. In due time. Things stagnated. It's probably because i was one of the first few younger members. (Hence why there are now also events for younger folks.) Eventually, things led to borderline neglect as a staff member (since i had issues they knew.) At the first sign of this. They kicked me out without any proper talks about it or understanding. Lets not forget proper events that practically got scrapped while i had to travel 1 and a half hours to be there during midnight which effectively left me stranded often. Or when the CEO offered to bring me home. But instead went to bail to screw a old guy. Ignoring the fact that being young, came with also some uncomfortable scenarios between either the staff, or its regular bar goers (they've got a bar.) Staff are odd, if not. Somewhat neglectful of their surroundings. Regular goers are fine (at times.) If i could do it all over. I would've probably avoided this organization as a young bisexual. As it was somewhat emotionally straining to be around them. I hope the younger homosexuals or bisexuals are doing fine. Away from creeps. And that the staff are a lot more mature now then back then. You can agree or disagree. I am just sharing my experience with this organization that pretends to be all good.
