    Our book club has been meeting for over a year and a half now, creating a warm, welcoming space to explore queer literature and foster meaningful connections. As we kick off January 2025, we’re excited to invite new members to join us in celebrating stories that reflect our diverse experiences and histories.

    For January we will dive into Andrew Holleran’s Dancer from the Dance! This iconic novel captures the beauty, longing, and complexity of gay life in 1970s New York City, set against the backdrop of disco, Fire Island, and a search for connection. We’ll discuss the book, enjoy snacks and drink, and vote on next month’s selection. Whether you’ve read the book or just want to join the conversation, all are welcome for an afternoon of community and thoughtful discussion. Don’t miss this chance to connect and share insights with fellow book lovers!

    If you'd like to get a start on February's book, we will be reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Feel free to bring suggestions for future meetings.

    Come join your Great Outdoors bros for a fun-filled movie night! We’re hosting a potluck dinner and screening the hilarious and heartfelt rom-com Bros! This queer comedy follows two commitment-phobic guys navigating the hilariously awkward (and sometimes tender) world of modern dating. Bring your favorite dish to share, your Great Outdoors spirit, and settle in for a night of laughs, good food, and great company. BYOB. Whether you’re here for the romance, the comedy, or just the snacks, this is an event you won’t want to miss.


    Space is limited so we are asking everyone to be sure and register. The movie night location will be sent to all registered attendees. And please note that guest parking spots are limited, so you may have to park on the street. See you there!
