Gay men serve an evolutionary purpose on the planet. Our attributes and ways of being, for which we experience discrimination, are the very gifts we bring to the world and our most important contribution. We envision a time in which the role of the gay man is once again honored and respected in every culture on the globe. To achieve this vision, we commit to: 1) personal growth, both individually and within community, so each of us steps into our full power as a gay man; and 2) individual and co …

This group  promotes fellowship/friendships between gay men age 50+. In any case the purpose of this group is to promote caring, supportive, loving friendships between gay men living either in partnerships or alone and dealing with this fast paced world in which we now live. Meetups can be very casual and as members join I hope they will reach out to each other just to meet for coffee, a drink, or to go to a movie or shopping...just to take a walk and talk....anything at all. We do have a regula …

This is a casual discussion group for gay and bisexual men who feel uncomfortable within the gay community, and want to analyze and/or remedy that. This is not a trash-talk group; it is a way for us - those of us who are comfortable within our own sexuality but feel alienated by gay culture and stereotypes - to assemble and see if we can find peace on this issue and/or start our own community. We'll ask the hard questions of ourselves and each other, but do it with kindness and empathy, and we'l …

The Boston-Metrowest Latino Gays & Friends is a social networking group for Latino gay men and women, and friends, to hang out, make new friends, explore the city, and have fun doing a wide variety of activities such as road trips, theater, concerts, or a simple as a cup of coffee.

This is a group for gay couples who enjoy meeting up with other couples for dinners, movies, theatre, etc. This is NOT a sexual group, NOT a hook up forum, etc. This is geared toward other gay couples living in the metrowest area. I started this group because my husband and I have found it challenging finding other couples outside of Boston who are looking for similiar interests. We do travel into the city often, so this group is not only intended for activities within the metrowest area. All ag …

The mission of this group is to provide opportunities for gay men to meet socially through a wide variety of events. This group is for gay men interested in getting together for fun, active social adventures. What is an adventure? Whatever we want it to be. Bowling, volleyball, indoor rock climbing, board game night, kayaking, apple picking, horseback riding, exploring a corn maze, hiking, or a fun night out to dinner together as a group.

The "Non-Scene" Gay 20-Somethings of Boston is just that, a resource for gay men and women in their twenties (Ages 20-29) to hang out, make friends, explore the city, and have fun doing a wide variety of activities typically separate from the gay bar "scene." We'd love for you to join the group and introduce yourself! About half of the group events will be during weeknights, and the other half during weekends. To give you a better idea of what we do, possible/upcoming meetups include: - Trip t …

Have you been looking to meet gay folks in the area without hitting up the clubs? Do you have wildly varied interests and want to hang out with like-minded peeps? Has it been a couple years since you've danced on the boxes at Mirabar? (not that there's anything wrong with that...) If so, come check us out! Modeled after a similar group in Boston, the idea of this group is to get 20- and 30- something gays out of the house and start building some real connections with other locals. We meet the f …

My partner and I are professional, outdoorsy and artsy women seeking to connect with lesbian and gay couples or singles who live in the Westchester/Hudson Valley/Connecticut/New Jersey region who wish to expand their social and support network. We continued this group after the original organizers dropped out, because we enjoyed having opportunities to meet new people, make new friends and connections, and to get out and do different things, and we didn't want to lose that! We tend to post meetu …

Due to the lack of groups for gay men living on the Northshore, this group is dedicated to gay men 21+ residing on the Northshore who want to make friends, network, date and have fun without having to go into Boston.

This is a group for lesbian and gay parents and their kids living on Long Island, NY. Let's get together for affordable activities in our community, such as picnics, park fun, and play dates in our homes. We are a lesbian couple with kids who started this group in order to build a community of families like ours. Looking forward to meeting everyone soon!

This group takes as its focus gay men who want to get together for a night out at the movies to meet new people and enjoy a good film but we are open to others. We are a Big Tent group, which means we're also open to friends of gay men and we're affiliated with other queer-friendly groups that are gender inclusive. We also absolutely do not limit ourselves to only seeing movies by and about gay men. So far, we've seen more than half a dozen movies this summer: mostly at the Kendall, many sub …

LI Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is a non-profit organization bringing Long Island the best in gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender cinema. We also have cool events, including question and answer sessions with filmmakers, complimentary cocktail and wine receptions and it's all for the price of what you would pay for a movie ticket anywhere else. There is a reason we just won the Outlook award as best lgbt Long Island event. And we have events every month of the year. It is also a very cool wa …

This group has been set up to facilitate meetings of gay business owners and professionals for networking and socializing. Anyone on the South shore to the South coast and Cape Cod is encouraged to join - or beyond...all are welcome.

This is a meet-up to encourage lgbt people to come out, socialize, hear some live music, meet new friends, support a venue that is trying to reach out to the community on the South Shore of Boston - and to have an alternative to other venues. The C-Note is on Nantasket Beach, is located next to a diner that is gay-friendly and interested also in creating community connections. It's time to have some FUN - time to get away from the tv and get out there and meet people, enjoy some LIVE music, danc …

I am starting this meetup group for those of us who want to do or attend social events in the community or design our own within the group. Often, older gays would enjoy an adventure, activity, movie etc. but do not have a companion or friend to share them with. My proposal is to facilitate a way for us to meet others who enjoy similar interests or to try new ones or just to meet and expand our social lives. I can envision many ways this may happen and all who join can promote their own and …

This is a group for any LGBT families to get together and make lasting friendships. It can feel lonely being the only gay family around, but in reality we are all over the place, we just need to find eachother. Our kids deserve friends that they can relate to, and so do we!

A book club for gay men who have always wanted to read Proust's multi-volume novel but were afraid to try on their own. This group is for you! We will meet bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings for 90-minute discussions and to share our insights into this complex work. We will read Proust in translation (rather than in French). Our goal is to make our way gradually through the novel. Experienced readers of Proust also welcome!

finally! a worcester based gay-bisexual group. we'll enjoy fly fishing (maybe even some tying), kayaking and even massages without heading into boston. this is a place to meet new friends and be able to have open and frank discussions about who we are. i'd like to see us bond as a group, and perhaps even find some romance along the way ... who knows?

This is a group for gay parents interested in play dates, dinners, and general community building. My husband and I recently moved to Fairfield with our 14 month old twins and would like to add some like minded families to our network. I figure we aren't alone in that.

hello, I would like to start a  non religious meditation group for gays and lesbians in my apartment in Harlem. Sunday from 12 to 1 pm, we could combine it with bagels and coffee after. Arrive between 11.45 am and 12 pm (door closes at 12). I hope to create a group for people who enjoy meditation but do not need the interference of the higher superstitions. If you have no experience meditating, short instruction will be given. The accent will be on meditating together and forming a community of …

Let's see what I can say to sound intelligent enough for you to answer, clever enough to spark your interest, funny enough for you to smile, just a little spontaneous enough, so you don't think twice, adventurous enough to take a chance on becoming a member, comfortable enough so you will feel relaxed and sane enough for you to believe the unbelievable. Fantastic Women getting together for fantastic times. Our purpose is to build a community for women in the Southeastern Ma. and RI. Socializing …

We were formerly known as The JP Women's Group. Founded 1/26/07 by Chris (formerly Hansen) Juliani, Director, the group has been so successful that now Robin, Mairic, and Lisa are assisting her in managing the group. Our purpose is to build community for women in the Boston Area. Our hope is to create more community for gay/queer women in the Boston Area, especially for women who have recently moved here, or who have recently come out. Also, to help change the story that it is so hard to meet pe …
