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 …

This group is for gay men who love female comics. Most comedy shows in NYC have either all men or almost all men. But us gays know that female comics are where it's at. I love to laugh and meet people at the same time.

Members will have a support gr …

This is an upcoming and exclusive NYC social network for LGBT and gay friendly parents along with their children.

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 …

hello, I would like to start a  non religious meditation group for gays and lesbians in my apartment in Harlem. Sunday from 12 to 1 pm, we could combine it with bagels and coffee after. Arrive between 11.45 am and 12 pm (door closes at 12). I hope to create a group for people who enjoy meditation but do not need the interference of the higher superstitions. If you have no experience meditating, short instruction will be given. The accent will be on meditating together and forming a community of …

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 …

"Out With The Gay Girls" has shifted its focus from after work wine bar meetups to a wider range of activities that I believe a broad base of lesbians might be interested in.  Yes, some activities will be out at a club, but we will also revisit the wine bar scene, as well as adding some outdoor activities, concerts, art exhibitions, performance art, poetry slams, meetups at big events like pride or outdoors festivals.  I will look for interesting activities to touch on everyone's interests.  I h …

As a guy who goes out all the time, its tough to find other gay and lesbian people whose social life is like me: 1) hangs out only in straight clubs/events; 2) friends are straight; 3) big sports fan; 4) can appreciate the opposite gender and find them beautiful w/o having to sleep with them; and 5) not out as gay. The difference with the other meetups is that I am happy with my lifestyle and really don't want to change it up (yet). So I figured, start a meet up group and see if there are others …

For all of us who enjoy the sport of kings! We don't have to keep score.

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.

This is a monthly group for gay and bi women to get together, socialize and maybe even make a few friends, all while talking books. On the menu will be a mix of fiction and non-fiction works, some gay-themed, some not. Whoever comes to a meetup gets a shot at influencing the choice of book for the following month's meetup. So if you have a special book you want to share, or a book in mind that you've always wanted to read but haven't yet gotten around to, come to a meetup and make your pitch.

Williamsburg and the surrounding neighborhoods have been expanding with artists, hipsters, eclectic people of all sorts and a fairly large gay community.
