Meeting poeple in Boston through LGBT social groups

Manhunt Pool Party MenLast year at this time I shared a post featuring different LGBT groups  you can join as a way to get out and meet people. I wanted to share the links again to encourage anyone looking to meet people or simply get out of the house.

Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is one of New England’s largest and most successful community-based choruses.  Auditions are Sunday, September 11th.

Boston Gay Men’s Books Club is monthly book club on MeetUp featuring literature by and about gay men. This month’s book is Insignificant Others by Stephen McCauley. They will meet on Monday, September 19 at 7PM at Trident Booksellers on Newbury Street in Back Bay.

Dignity Boston is a progressive, inclusive community of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Catholics and their allies. All are invited for liturgy and social every Sunday at 5:00 PM, St. Stephen’s at 419 Shawmut Avenue, Boston. 

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. 21 – register to receive updates via email for their monthly socials).

New England Gay Men Camping is a social outdoor adventure group for gay men. They will be camping at Harold Parker State Forest in Andover, MA Friday, September 16. 

Opus Affair is probably best known for their monthly cocktail party hosted at local restaurants  to raise money for local arts organizations. Next cocktail party is Monday, September 19th (at a personal favorite spot) SRV in the South End.

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.

Boston’s gay sports clubs / teams

Sadly The Warwick Rowers (shown above) are not a LGBT gay sports club.

Last year at this time I shared a post featuring a variety of LGBT sports teams and clubs you could join as a way to get out and meet people. I wanted to share the links again to encourage anyone looking to make more friends, meet people or simply get out of the house and be more active. 

Some of these clubs / teams are seasonal so take that into account when you reach out to these groups and best of luck to you.  If you are new to Boston, let me be among the first to welcome you.

Gay for Good Boston

Gay for Good BostonFrom time to time I publish volunteering opportunities from the Boston Chapter of Gay for Good.  G4G, as I like to refer to them, may be the perfect option for you if you’re looking to meet people or would like to volunteer but cannot commit to a particular charity. Each month, Gay For Good Boston selects a different non-profit to donate time for a community service project and they arrange all the logistics. There is no money required and anyone willing to give their time and energy are welcome, but note that most opportunities fill quickly.

If this sounds like a group you would like to learn more about, I encourage you to link here to join the organization. You will receive regular notifications about upcoming volunteering opportunities.

Using a bidet for the first time

Chris ThompsonEarlier this month Chris Thompson, a vlogger I enjoy following on YouTube, taped his first experience using a bidet.

His clip was both hilarious and timely since Sergio and I are currently in Europe where bidets are in every bathroom. My favorite part of the quick clip comes when he initially turns on the bidet and the “lesson learned” that he shares.

If you liked Chris’ video, check out his YouTube channel: Sup Daily.
