Given the opportunity, most would like to run their own business but would agree its a lot of hard work. There are many books, videos and big expensive seminars that claim to help you start and run your own small business but there are no local LGBT dedicated groups that offer the same. This is a chance for locals to get together to share resources, compare notes and offer ideas. My partner and I own three small companies and are always looking for new marketing ideas, contacts, resources and fr …

This Gay and Lesbian family meetup is not only for bringing together our children, but to build friendships with other gay and lesbian parents in the Long Beach and surrounding areas. We are older parents with younger children, and hope to meet like minded people who desire to not only have "play dates" but also develop friendships amongst other gay and lesbian couples who are raising children. We are about picnics, outings, backyard bbq's, beach days, camping, and whatever else we come up with!

Greetings, Show Queens in Training!! Hope you join our Theatre group.   We're almost a year old - with 300+ members. The idea is simple - see plays, find out what's going on in the local theatre scene - and hopefully make a new friend. Sometimes we have 5 people going - sometimes 25 or 30 - hard to tell! It's a way to meet new people - gay and hetero - who like plays. It's a way to see more plays, and find out about plays.  And since everyone is on a budget, we mostly schedule plays with the …

For those of us that are into the more subdued, intellectual side of life and just happen to be queer. Take note that this group will focus more on the book-reading, museum-going, tabletop-gaming, or just generally quiet getting-to-know-you aspect of things... and is likely to be the antithesis of the popper-sniffing, club-going, casual-encounter side of the rainbow. Nerds, geeks and dorks alike are all welcome!
