[FYI: this group is not run by Dr. Michael Brown. In fact, he has nothing to do with it nor indorses it or even knows of its existence as of this writing] In his book, "A Queer Thing Happened to America" (offered on Amazon), Dr. Michael Brown takes a factual look at the history and impact of the Homosexual Agenda. Could it be that like Feminism today, what might have started out as a good thing, a right not to be abused and to be treated humanly, has gone too far? Is it out of control? Can …

The group is a "sister" group to the San Francisco Walking Dykes (also on Meetup). The purpose of the dancing dykes group is essentially the same: to build community for lesbians in San Francisco (and the greater Bay Area) while promoting health and wellness. Dancing and staying active is the key to remaining healthy, and socializing, making friends and developing community is essential to being "mentally fit" and also having fun. You should join if you are a lesbian/queer woman, are probably in …

While it is a queer-targeted book club, we will not be limited to queer-themed material (though such literature will have its place, as few other book clubs will incorp …

Hello, Thanks for checking out this meetup. I decided to create this group because community is important to me and I, and some friends of mine, believe there are many of us lesbian, queer, and sexually fluid women out there who value spiritual connection, compassion, psychological and emotional depth, non-judgment and open-heartedness that would enjoy meeting each other. My intention for this meetup is to provide a place where a diverse group of women who come from a variety of spiritual paths/ …

I am not finding a whole lot of meet ups dedicated to just making friends with other queer folks. My vision is to meet up, play some basketball (shooting around and after we are warmed up maybe a game), and then maybe go grab a coke and be friends. If that sounds like fun to you, invite yourself and join in! I am new to the area and need friends to spend time with. I love all sports so if basketball doesn't work out let's play some football or frisbee or make some crafts. I love everything!

It's almost summer and it's time to get outside and play some volleyball and meet some new Oakland people.

But just because it's non-competitive doesn't mean that if you're a more seasoned player you can't join in too. This league is open to all ability levels and people looking to expand their social circle and enjoy something active outside.
