The group is for everyone that enjoys classical music and dance in all varieties -- and the rich depth of performances offered in the greatest city in the world -- New York.

New York City is home to nearly 10 million people, yet it has a reputation of being one of the most isolating places on Earth. That goes double for gay men -- triple for young gay men of color. That's why we started this group, to create a place where black and latino gay men in their 20s and 30s can meet, socialize, and make long-lasting connections that are otherwise hard as hell to come across. So whether you're a self-professed geek, social butterfly, intellectual, or just new to the city, t …

The goal of this meetup group is to provide a forum of support for gay men suffering from shyness and social anxiety. Social anxiety can manifest itself in our lives in a range of different ways.

First off, I think sharing our stories amongst each other will help us learn that we are not alone. Second, I think developing a support system can be a c …

Once we have enough members, we'll have dinners, talks, nights out to the city, and other gre …
