1st meetup for dinner and drinks

This location is shown only to members

Hi everyone. Our first meetup will take place at Applebee's . We can have dinner, get to know each other, have some good conversations along with some drinks. Afterwards we can continue the night and agree on a location to go continue the fun, maybe a club, lounge, bar, karaoke or any other fun ideas. We'll take a vote just to be fair. Get ready to meet and gain some friends. :)

    Hi guys, thanks so much for joining the one n only queens lgbt meetup:) For those of u that rsvp for 2/11, I can't wait to meet everyone, we will have a lot of fun. For those that haven't rsvp'd yet, go for that rsvp button . :)..anyway, i like everyone to start of by giving a lil info about themselves. Name ur best n worst quality, and, no this is not a job interview lol, but its just a way we can start getting to know each other a lil. As for me, my best quality is having great listening ski

    Skills. I find that strangers love to tell me their life stories, people in general like to talk to me, and well i listen, as far as my worst quality, my stubborness ! Its like i been stubborn since birth lol. Either way, its something that im stubbornly trying to minimize. What about everyone else?

As you probrably know I have emailed all in the group and so far have recived 5 responces, all with positive feedback on you being honest about your sexuality and accepting you in the group.

    Hi Gloria. I want to make new friends , people to me are just that people. I accept others or their personalities and who they are. I have friends in every walk of life. Your group seems like a non judgmental bunch. I like that. I too get crap thrown at me because I am a Latina women that is strong and wants to make my life fun and meaningful. I will attend and let your members see for themselves that I am a woman like they are with many of the same issues.

    Hey , i had posted info regarding this, but the post cut the rest of my statements.
    I made reservations for 21 ppl, because tht was the count as of yesterday. The reservations are under my name and if u just tell the host tht u have reservations under Gloria, they will take u to our area:)... That way those who are their early or on time and still waiting can have a seat nice and warm.... See u guys soon:)

    Never compromise your Honor & Integrity. If you are asked to ,put them out of your life. They do not share your vision.
