What we're about
Yay! Finally, a fun and friendly social group for the whole community. Let's get together for joyful conversations in an uplifting and supportive atmosphere.
Meet cool people, have some laughs, and make new friends. That's what we're here for.
What we need to decide is what portion of our "group" will develop into an on line conversation group here, and what portion of our activities will be in physical meetup events.
Everyone is welcome to participate. Hopefully we will have active participation of people from every sexual orientation and every gender expression. There are no limits and we are inviting people from the entire spectrum of human interaction. Whoever you are is perfect and we look forward to meeting you! Some people want to move past the traditional labels including, but not limited to; gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, transsexual, intersex, genderfluid, hetero-flexible, asexual, agender, cisgender, heterosexual, str8, two-spirit, nonbinary, androgynous, and whatever else is on the horizon!
We hope to make it a weekly event, depending on attendance, etc.
We are hosted by Ray Of Hope Church, the FIRST church in Central New York State founded and consistently supported by the LGBTQIS Community for 35 years. Our social group is just that, not a worship group, not a prayer group, or a Bible study group. If in discussions spirituality comes up we certainly will enjoy the conversation. If it never comes up that is fine too. This group is for everyone regardless of personal beliefs. Persons of every faith and spirituality or no faith or no spirituality are always welcome here. Our emphasis is on serving the community in all its variations, and we are committed to bringing people together for peace, love and compassion.
