Volunteer (Queens): Coming Out Ribbon Cutting

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.

Wednesday nights belong to trans, nonbinary, gender-diverse, and gender-questioning adults looking for low-pressure fun and genuine community. Board games, video games, no experience needed, no theme required — just show up, jump into whatever sounds fun, and spend an evening with people who get it.

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.
