We are a social and arts community of Asian Pacific Islander queer women and transfolks in the South Bay.

I am an interspiritual minister who strongly believes that the right to define and restrict the officiating of same gender marriage does not belong to state or federal lawmakers, nor to the majority rule of any group of persons. The privilege and honor to officiate same gender weddings is a right and duty of the clergy as servants of God. I am seeking like-minded clergy of all faith traditions to meetup and share ideas about how we can support the LGBT community in moving forward with their marr …

This is a meetup for queer-identifying folks to get together and read books together, talk about them, and socialize. (But we won't discriminate against any straight allies that may want to participate!) Books read  in this meetup group will include multiple genres, and group participants will help decide what books will be read. While it is a queer-targeted book club, we will not be limited to queer-themed material (though such literature will have its place, as few other book clubs will incorp …

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …

This group is for LGBT and allies who are vegetarians or vegans. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy an activity with other LGBT folks and not have to be concerned about where you will eat? If yes, then this is the group for you. The plan is to do a variety of fun activities not just eat but when it comes to finding food we'll all be in agreement-no flesh. There are only a few rules - Be respectful. Be responsible. And while this is not intended as a dating or hook up group you may meet someone however …

Let's break away from the bars (and, okay, sometimes also go to bars) and have some real fun.  ALL 20-something queer-identified folk (and their friends) are enthusiastically welcomed.  My hope is to develop a sense of community through recurring events.  Some ideas for events include potlucks, game nights, movies, hikes, club nights, and happy hours.  If you have any ideas, please suggest them!  Activities take place mainly in Oakland, and sometimes in Berkeley and San Francisco.

Are you a woman who has been in a heterosexual relationship with a man but are now coming out or wanting to come out as a lesbian? Are you coming out later in life? I want to create a support system for woman like us.

It's so hard to meet other lesbians when you are single! You are almost forced to do the internet meeting game. That often proves to be either unsafe, unreal, or unavailable after all! Here is a way to meet other single Lesbians face to face. Practice talking to each other in a safe, loving environment. Listen to what others are doing to increase their chances of finding love. You will always meet several beautiful people, and you will always leave thinking about what was shared. We meet  twice …

The Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County has created this group to explore issues of spirituality and religion for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, two spirit and ally communities. Our intention is to create a safe place for healing from the ways religion has hurt our communities, and to build a sacred and powerful space to affirm our faith (no matter what tradition or practices we may or may not identify with) in ways that support us to be wholly …

Looking to set up regular (weekly? bi-weekly?) get-togethers of East Bay gay sports fans. Will pick the best event of the week and a local watering hole to meet, root, and sociaize. F ocus on East Bay professional and college teams, so probably a lot of Warriors and Golden Bears basketball over the next few months. Location will vary but we may decide on a few favorites as we move along.

This group is tailor-made for dog-owning queers in the East Bay! We will meet at dog parks, go for hikes with our pups, and get together for other social activities where doggies are always welcome! Please note: I'm fairly new to the area, so suggestions for meetup locations are MUCH appreciated!

This group is meant to be a meaningful, radical gathering of people who relate to the word, "androgynous."  Whether you identify as queer, gay, bisexual, third gender, lesbian, straight, transgender, two-spirit, pansexual... if you don't have a name for yourself at all, and you like it that way! We are a fraternity and a sorority all at once, and we acknowledge all who cross our paths. If you've always yearned for a non-judgmental outlet to explore masculinity, femininity and everything else in …
