[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? Ca …

You're cool and interesting, possibly fascinating and little bit awesome. It just so happens that you're a queer girl in San Francisco addled by what the City has to offer. You want to go to events and to do things and you want your Entourage accompanying you. We get it. We want that, too. Therefore, we can be your people. Our new motto: Let's go together. Who are you? Female: past, present, or future. Over 21, definitely, but more likely in your late 20's to early 40's. You're new to San Franci …

This is a meetup for queer-identifying folks to get together and read books together, talk about them, and socialize. (But we won't discriminate against any straight allies that may want to participate!) Books read  in this meetup group will include multiple genres, and group participants will help decide what books will be read. 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 …

… Either way, or anyway, I am inviting others to join in if they have interest in the Korean Culture and sharing similar experiences of being in the closet, coming out, or just plain being loud about being Korean and queer, if you will. Although I always thought it was queer to expect everyone to fit into a straight jacket life style, but hey maybe thats just me. What I hope to do during these meetings, well for starters, if enough people are interested, I would like to spend some time getting to …

-- Opera club ran 1999-2012 and some great friendships were made. Now closed!-- [Previous welcome] Welcome to Queerly Operatic, the San Francisco Bay Area's free lesbian/gay/queer opera club! Queerly Operatic has been going strong for 12 years now (since long before MeetUp). We meet for potlucks, DVD nights, and performances, often featuring operas with gender-bending "trouser" roles or selections from S.F. Opera's upcoming season. This year for the 2011-2012 season, we'll have something new: ga …

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/ …

We are about getting together and having fun. Dinners, movies, bowling, mini-golf, museums, anything fun that you can do with friends in the Bay Area. Many members are located in 415/510 area codes, and there is growth in the 408 area.  I try to plan events around the entire Bay Area because we are everywhere. Most events are low cost ($5-$30) but once in a while we may splurge.   Scheduled and suggested events include: Winchester Mystery House - San Jose Computer History Museum - Mountain View …

This meetup group supports men growing into the kind of men they want to be by offering a mix of events that invite men into healthy fellowship, and connection. From day hikes, movie nights, cooking classes, pot lucks, chanting, drumming, men’s self care, learn to do, and writing events, to weekly circles, one day, or weekend workshops, we invite you to connect to, and reflect off each other, and ultimately to discover your own unique sense of mature masculinity. Looking to step more fully i …

The Bay Area T-girl / G-girl Mutual Admiration Society was formed to create connections across the spectrum of female identifying individuals -- from genetic women to transgender women. Many genetic women (g-girls, genwomen, bio-women, cis-women), blessed with a plurality of X chromosomes, appreciate the unique qualities of those individuals who do not fit into one of the two traditional gender roles. And many transgender women (t-girls, transwomen, MTF transsexuals, crossdressers, and other Y-c …

This group began many years before Meetup existed but we think now's a great time to expand our outreach to the social networking world! We are a sub-group of the wonderfully active San Francisco FrontRunners (www.sffr.org). Our hope is to increase the numbers of LesBiQ women who participate in the SFFR. Currently we host a meetup for women once every couple of months but we'd love to increase the frequency if more of you become interested and our membership grows. Additionally, SFFR hosts weekl …

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 …

Get to meet other Lesbian and Bisexual women who want to meet friends.  Other women who understand what it is like to be gay. This group includes plenty of kindness and laughter.  I encourage women who are in all situations, singles or couples, women of color, all ethnicities, and as many backgrounds as possible to come because we will come together to create a real Sisterhood.  All of us are different and yet wanting other Queer women as friends.  I look forward to meeting you.
