Out TwentySomethings Boston…
is a social and support alternative to Clubs and bars for lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgender, questioning folks, and their straight allies in their 20s and early 30s. The specific age range is 18-33.
The purpose of the group is to host group outings to movies, plays, dinners, brunches, coffee night and other activities which allow for the opportunity to make social connections with people in less sexualized atmosphere than at a bar or nightclub. Because of the lack of comfortable spaces for racial diversity in Boston, people of color are strongly welcome to join! To get on our email list for future events, please email twentysomethingsboston-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Come join us for our monthly social of drinks and dinner! This month we are going to meet in the Food Court in front of the Pizzeria Regina with a red crown on the table. First Tuesdays, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
