Williamsburg and the surrounding neighborhoods have been expanding with artists, hipsters, eclectic people of all sorts and a fairly large gay community. Williamsburg is a haven for culture and diversity and a great central point for nearby neighborhoods of Greenpoint, Bushwick, and Long Island City, to name a few....all communities joined by Queens and Brooklyn's very own "G" train!  We're fortunate to live in or take part in one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in NYC.  This group incorporate …

Join me, Billy Monks, to explore the spiritual path of homosexuality. Together we will explore how homosexuality is an integral part humanity and celebrate the gift of a dual spirit. After working with my gay brothers for more than 20 years as a healer, ordained spiritual minister, massage therapist and hypnotherapist, I have found that the common thread running through our challenges in society is our need to connect. The majority of us have either left or were turned away from mainstream relig …

We'll have local and away picture-taking outings and trips, look at each other's work, go to photo exhibits, learn about technique and equipment, and do anything else related to unloosing the photographer and photo aficion …

Apparently, as defined by Urban Dictionary: "When straight girls (and sometimes their straight boyfriends or husbands too) meet up with their gay friends for brunch on Sunday." ..Well, that's at least the general idea. The New York City Gay Boy Brunch is intended to be an queer and allied inclusive space for those in our all ages to have brunch together in one of the best restaurant cities in the world. Occasionally we might have a few lunches or dinners, but for the most part we'll stick to Sa …

New York City is home to nearly 10 million people, yet it has a reputation of being one of the most isolating places on Earth. That goes double for gay men -- triple for young gay men of color. That's why we started this group, to create a place where black and latino gay men in their 20s and 30s can meet, socialize, and make long-lasting connections that are otherwise hard as hell to come across. So whether you're a self-professed geek, social butterfly, intellectual, or just new to the city, t …

The goal of this meetup group is to provide a forum of support for gay men suffering from shyness and social anxiety. Social anxiety can manifest itself in our lives in a range of different ways. From a seemingly harmless shyness around others to the panic and fear of agoraphobia, social anxiety's impact on our lives runs the full spectrum. First off, I think sharing our stories amongst each other will help us learn that we are not alone. Second, I think developing a support system can be a c …

Do you like craft beers? Do you enjoy hanging out with other people who enjoy craft beers? Then you're in the right place. The purpose of this group is to provide an opportunity for gay folks to get together to drink beer and have fellowship with other like-minded individuals. A lot of bars that cater to the gay market don't have the best beer selection so we can use this opportunity to take the gays to the bars that have the best beers! Beer Club is an inclusive group, encouraging members to “c …

Are you a gay man over 40 who loves to hike? I have done a few hiking trips recently (Scotland & Peru) and am looking to do some hikes around the NYC area.

Are you a gay teen or young adult living on Staten Island? Do you want to meet other gays but don't know where to go? We can help you. Staten Island does not have many options for young gay teens and adults to meet - to make friends and create relationships. And with the anti-gay sentiment in many communities in addition to the lack of resources, it leaves little for gays to build a good social support. Once we have enough members, we'll have dinners, talks, nights out to the city, and other gre …

This is a group for gay international men and their friends. All homosexual men born and raised outside the USA, or born in the USA with a love of foreign langauges, films, cultures, music, food and traditions are welcome. I decided to start this group after checking out a Straight International Happy Hour through MeetUp and decided that we gay men need our own. I'm sure that this group will take on a life of its own once it gets started, but some topics that we could discuss include, but are …

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 …

We are a group of gay guys of all ages who meet the first Wednesday of every month. We read an eclectic range of books from classics to just-released works. We don't necessarily read books with a gay theme or characters, but always open to suggestions. Very easy going; more social than academic. Generally we talk about the book for the first part of the meeting and then the conversation evolves (or maybe devolves) to talking about anything else:  pop culture, gay life, vacations, etc.  We meet a …

A group for gay men (not necessarily of the Brooklynite variety) to read and discuss literature (not necessarily of the LGBT variety) while meeting new people and exploring new places in the process. Giving credit where credit is due...A similar group is in Manhattan (http://www.meetup.com/NYC-GAY-MENS-BOOK-CLUB/), and I stole the name from this group (http://www.meetup.com/Boys-on-Bikes/)

This group is for gay men who are enthusiastic about road cycling, who would like to road bike with and get to meet other like-minded people. All skill levels are welcome, but participants are expected to have a multispeed road bike, or a hybrid bike for the easier rides. Rides will be categorized in a similar manner to the big cycling groups (NYCC etc..) so you can know in advance what is the level of the ride and what to expect. Ideally each ride will include one (or more) rest stops in the mi …
