The Jewish Gay and Lesbian Social Group of Houston This wonderful group of 100+ men and women is sponsored by the Jewish Community Center. Their events range from happy hours, gay bingo, sedar dinner at the synagogue, to the big up scale event... the annual Chanukah Party. Hmmmmm, in the spirit of stereotyping, shouldn't their activities include kvetching, matchmaking and mah jongg? I'll have to speak to them about that! Anyway, this is a strong and very active group, and they welcome new members with open arms. For more info, email Dianna Howard.

Social Group for North Side Glibbits Living outside the loop doesn't mean you have to BE outside the loop! The goal for this group is to create a social network for GLBT folks who live in the North/NW side of Houston or other surrounding areas such as Spring, the Woodlands, Conroe, Kingwood, Champions Forest, Cypress, Copperfield, etc. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to meet up with friends who have the same interests as you, and NOT have to take the long drive into the gayborhood just to hang out and meet with other GLBT folks?
Any ideas, interests, or general stuff you would like to post, feel free... It would be nice to NOT have one-liners like Hello... posted for the group, but let's all get to know each other, and play nice! To join the group, click here

Q+A Q + A Houston aims to promote diversity and awareness of the queer Asian/Pacific Islander community through social building. By establishing central access to people, information and events, we will provide visibility of and support for the issues we face as queer or questioning API individuals and as a community. Like many social organizations, Q + A exists to provide a safe, open-minded and friendly environment in which individuals can come together and interact for various purposes, whether it be to socialize with cool like-minded people, advocate for a cause, network, discuss issues, etc. We have an interest in visibly welcoming GLBT- identifying and questioning API men and women, and through our events, we aim to build and maintain awareness of the queer Asian/Pacific Islander community. Q + A welcomes all individuals interested in working with us to achieve our goals. While it is not inclusive to only individuals who identify as GLBT and are of Asian or Pacific Islander descent, our goal is to promote awareness in regards to this specific community. Some activities we are interested in hosting include: special presentations to celebrate various Asian holidays, panel discussions, film screenings, theater performances, game nights, karaoke nights, literary readings, and, of course, good ‘ol happy hours and mixers. Also to further visibility, we would like to attend, as a group, various events in town hosted by other organizations. Stay informed of upcoming events by contacting us via email, joining our facebook group (search for "Queer & Asian Houston"), or joining our myspace group.
