What we’re about
We’re a social networking and culture exploration group for all members of Atlanta’s LGBTQIA+ community looking to enjoy culture and recreation events in the city while expanding their social network. The group organizes a diverse range of events – dinners out, live performances, hiking and biking events, and other events based on group interest. 2023’s twice-monthly event calendar might include a Friday Jazz Night at the High Museum, a weekend cycle along the Beltline, a Symphony performance, or trying out a recently opened hot restaurant (before the waiting lists ensue 😉).
Join us for lively, thoughtful conversation with other upbeat LGBTQIA+ residents and make new friends in the process. Bring your own interests and ideas for group events and we’ll help organize them.
Twice monthly events will start in August 2023
