Thank you for showing interest in Fort Lauderdale LGBTQ Social Group. Please read ALL of the below to decide if this group is for you.
Fort Lauderdale LGBTQ Social Group was created with the intention of bringing any and all people together both COUPLES & SINGLES to share events and activities that offer a large variety of experiences. Unlike other groups we encourage members to organize and plan events which interest them. Members are HIGHLY encouraged to think outside the box (e.g. something beyond clubs or bars whenever possible) and find something unique to share with the group.

Being a member places heavy emphasis on the word "active". We want people who join this group to actually show up to events and become a valuable part of the social circles which can and do form. To keep a strong, participating base of members, we ask that you attend at least ONE event every 4 months to keep your membership active. Please always change your RSVP to "NOT GOING" if you can not attend an event you signed up for. IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE YOUR RSVP TO "NOT GOING" AND DON'T SHOW UP 4x YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED FROM THE GROUP.
WE HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS THAT TAKE PLACE AT ANY OF OUR EVENTS
****POLICY ON HARASSMENT****
If any member receives a message from someone they deem as inappropriate or offensive, please message the administrator with the members profile name and I'll personally investigate to have them removed, not just from our group but from Meetup ENTIRELY. We have a zero tolerance policy on any type harassment or bullying of any kind in our group. Anyone found engaging in this behavior will be removed and BANNED.

WORLD AIDS DAY CONCERT - THE ORIGINAL STARS OF BROADWAY'S "RENT" - FT LAUDERDALE
Las Olas Oceanside Park, 3000 East Las Olas Boulevard,, Fort Lauderdale, FL, US“Join CAN Community Health on November 30th for a powerful evening of music, unity, and advocacy at the No Day but Today! World AIDS Day Concert. This inspiring event brings together local and national artists, activists, and community leaders to raise awareness, fight stigma, and support people living with HIV. This event will be headlined by Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp, the original stars of Broadway’s RENT whose voices helped define a cultural movement.
Now more than ever, CAN’s mission to empower wellness is essential. Creating impactful pathways toward ending the HIV epidemic and supporting global efforts to combat HIV/AIDS remains at the heart of World AIDS Day. The World AIDS Day Concert stands as a beacon of hope—illuminating the ongoing fight and uniting our community in the campaign to end the HIV epidemic.
In 2025, CAN Community Health proudly launched the Susan Terry Foundation, established to support our Patient Assistance Fund and strengthen our national mission for equity in healthcare. All financial proceeds from the World AIDS Day Concert will benefit the Susan Terry Foundation. This fund provides critical support to economically disadvantaged patients, helping cover personal and medical expenses during times of hardship. It ensures that those facing extenuating circumstances receive the care and resources they need to thrive.
