About us
If you are new to the Ventura County area or have lived here forever and just need to expand your circle of LGBTQ+ friends, join us!
This is an inclusive group for singles, couples, other pairings, and families of all ages interested in meeting other LGBTQ+ folks, making new friends, or just checking out some fun activities.
Queer folks from Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles County, or surrounding counties are also welcome to join!
If you would like to be an event organizer, please message me (AJ) and let me know.
Hope to meet you soon!
Here is an article you might want to read before attending our events. We are non-binary-, gender fluid-, genderqueer-, and trans-friendly, so please be prepared to respect all of our members if you attend our events.

Please note: You will attend all events and activities at your own risk. None of the organizers can be held responsible for any injuries, damages, or any other occurrences that might happen at an event.
Please read these guidelines before attending in-person or online activities. If something is not clear, message AJ with any questions.
The main goals of creating these group guidelines are to maintain a safe space where people feel comfortable and welcome and to hold a queer space where we can just be social or have constructive, educational, community-building conversations.
1. Keep it light and social. This is just a social group and not a therapy group. If you are in search of a therapy group, contact the Diversity Collective for recommendations.
2. No means no. If someone does not want to share or participate in an activity, do not push them or repeatedly ask questions. Everyone has the right to pass during an activity or can let the event organizer know they would like to pass beforehand.
3. Celebrate the right to self-determine names, genders, and pronouns. Do not ask personal questions about current or past identities.
4. Do not out anyone about anything. If you know personal information about someone, do not talk about it without their permission or if they have not introduced the information into the conversation.
5. We will not tolerate intentional deadnaming, misgendering, ableism, racism, sexism, sizism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, or any other bigotry. When unintentional or misguided incidents occur, let’s be sure to be kind, specific, and helpful as we call the person in rather than calling them out.
6. When political discussions take place, keep communication open and positive. Avoid name-calling, making it personal, or attacking other members.
7. Respect your boundaries. If you are not comfortable with the conversation in an online group or with behaviors at an in-person group, speak up or let the event host know so that they can manage the situation.
8. Allies may attend activities with a queer chaperone.
9. Please do not post photos from events without permission from the folks in the photos.
10. We do not charge membership dues for this group. Donations to help cover the costs of the group are welcome, but they are not required.

Women of the Night at The Elite Theatre
Elite Theatre Company, 2731 Victoria Avenue, Oxnard, CA, USJoin us for The Elite Theatre's production of Women of the Night: Digging Holes/She Who Hunts written and directed by Kimberly Demery.
Date: Sunday, February 22
Time: 2:00pmTickets available at www.theelite.org.
General admission: $25
Military/senior/student/union members: $20From The Elite Theatre's website:
DIGGING HOLES: Gladys, Mavis, and Margie have been best friends their entire lives and have experienced many crazy adventures together. Now in their golden years, they see the insidious deterioration of a dear friend's mind and body, and the realization of the true heartache that will soon follow. In this comedy [Yes, you read that right], the three women spend one last night together, in a cemetery, burying a body [again, you read that right].
SHE WHO HUNTS: During the day, Jo, Britt, Frankie, and Brooke are packing lunches, grading papers, and have full careers, all while caring for husbands and children. But at night, they step into the shows and do the unthinkable: hunt and kill vampires. Bound by destiny and a centuries-old mandate handed down from generation to generation from only Mothers to Daughters, they are sworn to contain the rising threat lurking beneath everyday life. Arguments erupt, vulnerabilities surface, and hard truths are spoken. Are they saving the world or merely delaying the inevitable?
We hope to see you there!
