Join the City of West Hollywood at the kick-off of the new West Hollywood Gay Men’s Discussion Group. The West Hollywood Gay Men’s Discussion Group will meet the second Thursday of every month for a series of lightly moderated discussions open to the public to encourage attendees to discuss their own experiences about issues ranging from the existence and importance of “Gay culture” to how Gay men view the concept of “family” to the varied experiences of youth and Seniors in the Gay male community. The TRIBE discussion group will provide an open space for building relationships, promoting dialog, identifying challenges, and creating solutions for issues currently facing Gay men. In honor of Valentine’s Day, the topic of our first discussion will be “Dating & Sex – The Urge to Merge.” This inaugural discussion will focus on the one thing all gay men have in common, the urge to merge with other men. Discussion topics will include: great dates & dating horror stories; cyber connections; the good, the bad, and the ugly; how to ask out the guy you absolutely know is “the one”; and saying “no” with class. Come out and learn about other gay men’s dating habits and experiences and maybe share your own story. Who knows? You might find your Valentine in the room! Admission is free. Validated parking will be available in the five-story parking structure adjacent to the Library.
