WayGay Talk Space

Out of The Box is an LGBTQ+ open mic night at William Way LGBT Community Center in Philadelphia, a Monday evening from 6 to 8pm where you can take the mic or just cheer on the people who do. Bring a poem, a song, a set of jokes or a story you've been dying to tell, and get it in front of a friendly crowd that's rooting for you.

A confidential, judgment-free space to talk through what's on your mind with trained peer counselors who get it. William Way's peer counseling program connects LGBTQ+ community members with peers who've been there — no clinical distance, just real support for navigating identity, relationships, mental health, or whatever else life brings. Drop in Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6pm.

A regular Tuesday morning gathering for gay and queer men over 55 to connect, share stories, and build friendships over coffee and conversation. Mornings Out meets weekly at William Way, creating a welcoming, low-key space where older men in the community can find peers, support, and genuine connection without pressure or pretense — regulars become friends and new faces feel at home right away.

A dance and movement class designed for folks 50 and up who want to get moving, stretch, and feel good in their bodies. Danceteria brings together music, rhythm, and community in a low-pressure, judgment-free space where you can move at your own pace — no dance experience necessary. Held twice weekly at William Way LGBT Community Center, it's a joyful, welcoming way to build strength, connect with neighbors, and rediscover why moving your body matters.
