Every September tens of thousands of people move into Boston for the first time. New arrivals can find Boston to be a tough town to break into and make friends but staying at home is not the answer so I’ve compiled a list of LGBT activities and social groups where you can meet people. If you have a suggestion, feel free to share in the comments section of this post.
Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is one of New England’s largest and most successful community-based choruses. Auditions are Sunday, September 13th.
Boston Gay Men’s Books Club is monthly book club featuring literature by and about gay men. Currently reading Other Voices Other Rooms by Capote.
Dignity Boston is a progressive, inclusive community of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics and their allies.
Fellows by TWC is a group of 30+ singles who meet the third Wednesday of each month for cocktails and conversation (next meeting is Sept. 16).

Keshet Boston is a grassroots organization working for the full inclusion of LGBT Jews in Jewish life, offering community events for LGBT Jews in Greater Boston.

The Welcoming Committee is a young, social group who organize activities to broadening the spectrum of gay life here in Boston and beyond.
Apologies if I have overlooked any area gay organizations in the area. Feel free to add information for any such group in the comments section of my blog.
Last week Bloomberg published an interesting article, Rich Gay Men Wanted: Spain’s Conservatives Make Tourist Appeal. I assume that the tourist industry in general likes wealthy travelers and not everyone who is gay falls into the category of rich but I thought the article was interesting nonetheless.
