Thankfully, there are many resources available to people who are Transgender* throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. However, there is relatively little support is in place for partners--and ex-partners--of people who are transgender or gender variant. The purpose of this group is to provide an environment of mutual support for partners of Trans people who might feel left behind or in some way require emotional support--just as Trans folks do! Partners have genders, too and we are her …

We are a social and arts community of Asian Pacific Islander queer women and transfolks in the South Bay.

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 …

This is a group for Bay Area professional lesbians and their friends. It's one part fun get togethers, one part networking (which can be fun too) and one part whatever we make of it together.

I started this group to provide a safe place to explore the challenges of relationship, separation and divorce. Navigating the waters of relationship, separation and/or divorce can be challenging. Most of us struggle in our primary relationships and marriages. Often, our lover, partner, or spouse does not always show up to be our best friend, but instead disappoints us frequently. Rather than feeling grateful for precious opportunities to grow and transform, we typically end up in the middle o …

We're a great group of guys who have come together almost every week/weekend now since August 2012 to explore the various trails--in the hills, by the bay, and in between--that are right here at our doorstep in the East Bay.  No heroic mountaineering, just a good solid regular hike, fun companionship, a bit of adventurous exploring now and then, and on occasion, some socializing over food and drink afterward.  Nothing beats the fresh air, the spectacular landscape and views, and making some new …

If yes, then this is the group for you. The plan is to do a variety of fun activities not just eat but when it comes to finding food we'll all be in agreement-no flesh. There are only a few rules - Be respectful. Be responsible. And while this is not intended as a dating or hook up group you may meet someone however …

Let's break away from the bars (and, okay, sometimes also go to bars) and have some real fun.  ALL 20-something queer-identified folk (and their friends) are enthusiastically welcomed.  My hope is to develop a sense of community through recurring events.  Some ideas for events include potlucks, game nights, movies, hikes, club nights, and happy hours.  If you have any ideas, please suggest them!  Activities take place mainly in Oakland, and sometimes in Berkeley and San Francisco.

Calling all girls, ladies, women, femmes, butches, futches, dykes, bois, queers and trans of The Bay to come out and PLAY! Let's dance like EVERYONE is watching! If you love to dance, then you will love this NEW dance party! Are you ready to PLAY!?

It's so hard to meet other lesbians when you are single! You are almost forced to do the internet meeting game. That often proves to be either unsafe, unreal, or unavailable after all! Here is a way to meet other single Lesbians face to face. Practice talking to each other in a safe, loving environment. Listen to what others are doing to increase their chances of finding love. You will always meet several beautiful people, and you will always leave thinking about what was shared. We meet  twice …

Looking to set up regular (weekly? bi-weekly?) get-togethers of East Bay gay sports fans. Will pick the best event of the week and a local watering hole to meet, root, and sociaize. F ocus on East Bay professional and college teams, so probably a lot of Warriors and Golden Bears basketball over the next few months. Location will vary but we may decide on a few favorites as we move along.

This group is tailor-made for dog-owning queers in the East Bay! We will meet at dog parks, go for hikes with our pups, and get together for other social activities where doggies are always welcome! Please note: I'm fairly new to the area, so suggestions for meetup locations are MUCH appreciated!

This group is meant to be a meaningful, radical gathering of people who relate to the word, "androgynous."  Whether you identify as queer, gay, bisexual, third gender, lesbian, straight, transgender, two-spirit, pansexual... if you don't have a name for yourself at all, and you like it that way! We are a fraternity and a sorority all at once, and we acknowledge all who cross our paths. If you've always yearned for a non-judgmental outlet to explore masculinity, femininity and everything else in …

This group is for the LBGTQ and the open minded audiences interested in networking, socializing, dancing and showcasing their talent's for the shows that will be hosted by First Impression Entertainment.

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!

We're going to have events for singles, couples, people interested in making new friends, business networking, and even social events that promote fitness and wellness.
