This is a group based on two main themes- to meet new women (lesbian/bi) and to have some fun. We will have dinner/brunch, go to the movies, theater, potlucks, board game gatherings...anything but the bar scene. Join us if you just want to have a good time with a nice group of women. It's not a group focused on finding a date, but you never know. You have to be in it to win it - meaning don't stay home, take a chance...at the very least you'll have some fun. I'm hoping this will be a group where …

Seems like there's a ton of cool young LGBT folks in Park Slope, but we always have to commute to the city or Williamsburg to meet each other. But central brooklyn - Park Slope, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Flatbush - has its own vibe, and some really great places to hang out, and Park Slope is the center of it all. So, why not hang out with each other here? [Also, while I don't want to be the 'age police' or 'card' anyone (I think the 'honor system' works much bett …

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.

So whether you're a self-professed geek, social butterfly, intellectual, or just new to the city, t …

We decided to start this group because we're new to the area and want to make some local, like minded friends. We noticed that there wasn't a local lesbian group and thought... why not start one up?

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 LGBT nonprofit finance professionals. After 20 years of working with nonprofits I have found that the finance departments are staffed with members of the LGBT community. I have longed for a way to connect with them for networking opportunities, socializing, coaching and support. And a good dose of socializing as well.

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/)
