Madison LGBTQ 50+ Alliance

NOTE the new start time.

We hope you will join Madison's LGBTQ 50+ Alliance at our 1st/3rd Tuesday coffee meet-ups.

We will meet at Java Cat Coffee House on Lien Rd in Madison and will sit outside as the weather allows.
Buy your own drinks, treats, meal or just enjoy water and good conversation. No need to RSVP.

The 50+ Alliance is a collaborative project of OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center & Madison Senior Center.

Questions? Are you interested in starting a social or support group for the LGBTQ 50+ community? Email the OutReach Elder Advocate, Lynn, at lynnc@lgbtoutreach.org.

CQCQCQ (In-person) “CQ” (curious queers) is a call for all to join in the conversation! Members decide topics and provide presentations. This group is open to people of all ages: We’ll learn where we are from you, and you can learn how we got there from us.

MEETING INFO: The first and third Thursdays of the month from 1:00 to 3:00pm at the OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center.

Be in the room where it happens! Our LGBTQ 50+ Alliance Steering Committee is looking for motivated members to help expand the impact of the group. Steering Committee members enjoy finding ways to help LGBTQ Elders connect with their peers and the broader community.

We are looking for people with a range of skills and perspectives to join the team. Do you:

• Love planning social and educational events?
• Enjoy designing event graphics or helping to spread the word about upcoming events?
• Like creating welcoming and fun spaces?
• Get energy through meeting and talking to others, sharing information and insights that help people make meaningful connections?

If you can answer "Yes" to any of the questions above, we would love to meet you.

The LGBTQ 50+ Alliance, is committed to connecting LGBTQ adults with programs and services in our community. The LGBTQ 50+ Alliance is sponsored by OutReach Community Center and the Madison Senior Center. Planning for the 50+ Alliance is done by a small group of volunteers who serve on the LGBTQ 50+ Alliance Steering Committee. Would you like to join us?

GG&B is a discussion group for those fortunate enough to have arrived, that is, for those who know the obstacles, but also recognize that there have been joys. Those who look beyond the closet. Let’s get together consider our individual selves, our unique strengths and the nature of our ever-changing world. Sponsored by the LGBTQ 50+ Alliance. Meets on the second and fourth Thursdays.

Gay, Gray, and Beyond is not a therapy or support group. If you are in need of therapy or support services, contact OutReach's Elder Advocate, Lynn Currie, at 608-255-8582.

The group meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month from 2:00-4:00pm at the Madison Senior Center, 330 W Mifflin St. Madison, WI 53703.
