Our quarterly Socials are simple.
They provide a fun, safe environment to meet other local LGBTQ+ folks and our friends. An afternoon of food, conversation and community. Everyone's welcome.
Beyond the Socials, we've gathered on a Creating casual get togethers to support one another following the November 2024 Elections.
We’ve become more politically active:
- Participating in peaceful protests.
- Sharing information about LGBTQ+ legislation and how to let your voice be heard.
We are in this together.
Stand strong.

Supporting Communities in Northern Nevada
A central goal of the LGBTQ+ rights movement has always been to be accepted and recognized in the communities around us.

A central goal of the LGBTQ+ rights movement has always been to be accepted and recognized in the communities around us.
There's a saying: If you want a seat at the table, you can't just serve yourself." In the past few years, the Social has raised money for a mix of organizations.
Two fundraisers for Pride bringing in close to $4,000; supporting the Advocates to End Domestic Violence with funds, dry goods and food; providing over 6,500 meals to Nevadans from Ely to Las Vegas.
Within days of SNAP funding being cut by the government shutdown, members of the Social went into action putting together a resource list for those who needed help and for those who could help fund local foodbanks.
Soon, a statewide food drive was formed. We went to bat for communities from Elko to Reno, Ely to Sparks, Fernley to Gardnerville, Winnemucca to Las Vegas, Carson City to Mesquite.
We represented the largest donor organization helping Nevadans in need with 28,300 meals feeding feeding 1,414 people for a week.
While these four initiatives were fundraisers; we are looking for different ways that all of us can help. Community support doesn't have to be only about money.
Giving your time and energy to support local organizations. Let us know of ideas that you have. A caveat: be ready to work for the ideas you have.
