Queer Meetups and Socials Beyond the Nightlife Scene

If you're looking to connect with other LGBTQIA2+ folks in Austin, one great way to do that is by joining a queer social group. These groups can be a great way to meet new people, make friends, and build a sense of belonging within the community. Just like how a book club can be a great way to connect with people who share your passion for reading, a queer social group can be a great way to connect with people who share your identity and experiences.

Think of it like a cozy book club but instead of discussing literature, you're discussing the joys and struggles of being queer in Austin. A great way to break the ice and make new connections.

These groups often host events that are casual and low-key, like brunch meetups or picnics, and they're a great way to connect with other LGBTQIA2+ folks in a more relaxed setting. The Rise Times is happy to provide a list of these groups and organizations, so you can find one that fits your interests and schedule. And if you know of a group that's not on our list, let us know! We're always looking to expand our resources and connect more members of our community.
