Trans Game Night (18+)

An evening built for LGBT professionals, allies, and supporters across Long Island to actually connect—good conversation, good food, and the kind of networking that doesn't feel forced. Two hours in Bay Shore to build real community with people who get it.

Help the LGBT Network prepare for their National Coming Out Campaign by cutting and distributing rainbow and trans pride ribbons — a symbol of LGBT pride and support for safe spaces. Last year they cut over 954,000 ribbons; this year they're aiming to break that record. Come for two hours (6:30–8:30 pm) and be part of something that directly supports the communities where LGBTQ+ people live, learn, work, play, and pray.

Healthcare and human-services providers across Long Island gather to network, share best practices, and chart a path forward together. This consortium meeting creates space to reflect on the past year's challenges and engage in meaningful conversations about strengthening support for the LGBT community. If you work in healthcare, social services, or community advocacy, this is where you connect with peers doing the same work.

The twice-monthly LI-SAGE gathering on the East End brings older LGBT folks together for genuine connection and good company. Share stories, make friends, and enjoy a couple hours with people who get it — bring refreshments to share if you'd like. Happens every other Thursday from 3 to 5pm at the Hampton Bays Senior Center.

Monthly one-shot D&D campaigns built for queers who want to adventure together—whether you're a seasoned player or picking up dice for the first time. Each session brings fresh quests, new characters to create, and a genuinely supportive space to explore your creativity. Two hours, new story every month, everyone welcome.

A weekly recovery meeting for LGBTQ+ people seeking sobriety through the Twelve Step Program. LGBT Network's Hauppauge Center hosts this autonomous self-help group in a safe, affirming space where members support each other's journey. Meetings run 7:30–8:30 pm and follow the standard AA format. All are welcome.
