Join the City of West Hollywood at the new West Hollywood Gay Men’s Discussion Group. The West Hollywood Gay Men’s Discussion Group will meet the third 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 of importance to 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 this month’s program, the topic is “Shirts and Skins: Sexual Subcultures and Ways to Be Gay.” Which team or teams do you play for? Our Tribe consists of a wide variety of diverse sexual subcultures. From Jocks and Geeks to Twinks and Bears to Leathermen and Drag Queens, and every color of the rainbow in between, there are so many different ways to be gay. Which subcultures do you identify with? Which do you not really understand? How many different kinds of gay are you? Discussion topics include: types of sexual subcultures; what’s your favorite way to be gay; the fear factor: what are the sexual subcultures that you don’t really understand; Sexual Anarchists vs. Picket Fence Preference; trying it on: what subculture would you like to be a part of; do you think any factions hurt our image? Admission is free. Validated parking will be available in the 5-story parking structure adjacent to the Library. For more information, please visit www.weho.org/tribe or email tribe@weho.org
