The Jones Effect

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.

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.

Learn Pencak Silat—a Southeast Asian martial art—in a space built for queer bodies and all skill levels. This inclusive class weaves together self-defense, breathwork, mindfulness, and dance, led by student instructors Ilana and Steph. Whether you're looking to build confidence, find community, or discover a practice that actually feels good in your body, this is it.

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.

A weekly craft night hosted by Brini Maxwell at Club Cumming. Bring your knitting, crochet, or whatever project you're working on and settle in for a couple hours of creative company. No cover, just a two-drink minimum and the kind of low-key vibe that makes showing up on a Tuesday actually appealing.

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.
