Join us for adventure and escape from the same old routine. Experience all that you can be while in the company of other professional LGBT members in the DMV. Activities range from a mild hike in Great Falls Park to wild zip lining in the Virginia woods. Activities vary and suggestions are welcome. Ultimately, it is a fun way to meet and make new friends.

… Signature events have us Ice Skating with the DC Ice Breakers or tubing down a Lazy River, cheering at LGBT Night OUT at the Nationals and applauding at Gay Day at Hillwood, and holding our Annual Family Picnic and Mega Game Nights. Teaming up with other LGBT groups to co-sponsor events offers more opportunities for mingling and fun. Better yet, you may join this cosmopolitan group regardless of where you reside, be it NoVA, DC, or Maryland, or wherever, you are welcome. Our events are the rage! …

I wanted to start this group because I love board games and wanted to get together with other LGBT gamers on a regular basis. We will be playing board games of all types (Taboo, Monopoly, Scrabble, etc.) If you bring the game, we will play it! The group is open to anyone in the LGBT community who has an interest in board games ---- card games are OK too. I'm looking to create a fun, friendly atmosphere for those who would enjoy getting together on an afternoon or evening for a game session. Any …

I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'd love other people to lead hikes. Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Trails.com (I have a password, ask me) Check other meetup. …

The purpose of this group is to bring together LGBT sailors in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia areas. We can use this meetup as a resource to find crew members, schedule raft-ups, and other fun activities. My goal is that this group grows into a diverse community that resembles one of the DMV. As the group grows, we will be able to take turns visiting and sailing out of different marinas within DC, Maryland, and Virginia as a monthly meetup. All are welcome to suggest, schedule, and plan their ow …

This group is for gays and lesbians in their 20's and 30's who live in Northern Virginia. Just because you live in NOVA doesn't mean you can't have a solid social network OUTside the Beltway. We know you're OUT there. We are a gathering of singles and couples with varying tastes, but one thing we all have in common is we like to have fun. Come and join us for activities like happy hour, dining out, trivia, barbecues, camping, hiking, bowling, day trips, bar crawls, and other local activities.

Capital Pride is the annual LGBTA Pride celebration in our nation’s capital. The first two weeks of June are full of fun, educational, cultural, and entertaining events, including the Pride Parade and the Pennsylvania Avenue Festival. We also have monthly events to celebrate Pride throughout the year. All are welcome.

I am creating this group as an outlet and a way for those in the Queer/Ally (LGBTQ) Community interested in yoga to connect, grow, and to share in in this fun and engaging practice. Yoga is much more than exercise. Yoga is community, it is growth, and there are facets of spirituality that take us deeper into our own being. One thing that I've noticed here in DC is the lack of outlet for deeper connection. This group is open to everyone from the experienced yogi to those just getting started. We …

But we will take walking tours and hikes around DC, both historic and artsy urban areas, as well as natural and landscaped parks and gardens. Along the way, the more experienced among us can provide guidance about great photo ops, including lighting and composing and selecting settings from aperture and f-stops. Do you love to take photos on vacation and at special events to share on Facebook and Twitter? But end up with 600 photos too many, guaranteed to bore your friends? We'll discuss how …

Polyamory for those over 40. If 60 is the new 40, then none of us are over the hill. Enjoy the climb! If you are part of a couple, triad or quad, (age 40 and older only) and wish to socialize with people closer to your own age, this is the place for you. We also have a sister group for those under the age of 40 and we have good reasons for splitting the groups this way and we would be happy to explain if you are interested. This social group represents the ultimate in open-mindedness. We are exp …

If you are under the age of 40 and over 21, this is the place for you. If you are 39 and up, please join our sister Meetup Final Frontier. We have good reasons to separate the two by age and would be happy to explain if you are interested. This social group represents the ultimate in open-mindedness.  We are exploring sex-positive, alternative lifestyles and want to expand our horizons and understanding of different forms of sexuality and relationships.  We are offering a balanced approach to gi …

This is a group for gay board gamers who don't feel like driving all the way into DC for their board gaming fix. We can meet at member's houses or local eateries that are amenable to gaming (as soon as I find one!). No restrictions on type of games - from casual (Taboo, etc.) to uber-nerdy (Arkham Horror, etc.).

Is your family different from most of the people you encounter day-to-day? For those of us who'd answer "yes," it can be hard to feel fully comfortable and accepted in your run-of-the-mill moms' or parenting group. So let's start our own! This group is a great place for families with:      --Parent(s) or child(ren) who fall outside the gender binary or are LGBTQ+      --Minority religious or spiritual views --Non-normative family structures such as polyamory, polygamy, intentional single pa …
