Long Island Youth Friday Night Out: The Haunted Hollows

Game Night

Tuesday afternoons belong to the 50+ crowd at LGBT Network — a low-key gathering built around coffee, conversation, and mahjong. Beginners get tutorials; if mahjong isn't your thing, bring your favorite game instead. The real draw is the company: a room full of people who actually want to be there, sharing snacks and stories for a couple of hours. No RSVP needed.

Community Focused

Homework hits different when you've got people around who actually get it. No Straight Answers Study Hall is a 4-week afterschool hangout where LGBTQ+ teens can bring their homework, projects, or whatever needs tackling — and get real support with organization, study strategies, and plenty of encouragement. Whether you need help staying focused or just a quiet space to work around your people, this is it. Come study, get organized, meet other queer teens, and make the Q-Center your afterschool reset.

Community Focused

Local queer business leaders and entrepreneurs share real strategies for scaling their ventures — what's worked, what hasn't, and how they've built something meaningful. A chance to learn from people who've actually done it, ask questions, and connect with other folks thinking about entrepreneurship in the LGBTQ+ community.

Trans

A monthly social mixer for trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks looking to build community in a relaxed, judgment-free space. This month's spooky-themed gathering includes games, activities, and treats — the kind of low-key hangout where you actually make friends instead of just going through the motions.

Karaoke

Karaoke night hosted by a fabulous drag queen, with RGNY wine flowing and a room full of people ready to have a genuinely good time. $20 gets you in the door and a chance to belt out your favorites with a crowd that's here for it. Space is limited, so register ahead.

Support Groups

A gathering for long-term HIV survivors to connect, share experiences, and support each other through the journey of living with HIV. Expect real conversations about health and healing, updates on the latest research and treatment advances, and access to resources that matter. This is community care at its core — a space where your story is heard and your resilience is recognized.
