This is a group designed for Couples to help them to improve their relationships through the combination of Mindfulness and Psychology.

I'm interested in meeting other Out (semi/ fully, home/work) Professional, Gay, Black Men (OPGBM). My desire to create this Meet Up group stems primarily from feeling like I'm the only 'OPGBM' on the planet. While it's easy to connect with my caucasion counterparts...in the 10 yrs I've lived in Chicago...I can't say the same about meeting other OPGBMs. I'm a successful, well-educated, ambitous, out, professional, gay, black man. I would love to meet other OPGBMs in the world to discuss music, la …

I Like Red (and white) Wine is a group for gay wine and food lovers. The idea is to provide an alternative outlet for gay men to meet to pursue this interest and to also provide other social opportunities. Learning about legs and noses is great but getting together because you simply enjoy wine/food and to meet people is better. This isn't so much about learning but getting together because of a common theme. The idea is to create a community with a real life outlet. Hopefully, we will be able t …
