About us
Join this exciting inclusive Meetup for FREE and enjoy engaging First Friday socials, fun activities and adventurous events. Our members are hard-working gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) professionals and advocates from a variety of disciplines such as military, government, banking, law, medicine, new media, interior or fashion design and communications.

It's a new day, a new era, and this facilitates valuable connections for personal, professional, and business success.
Our group is welcoming and inclusive, respectful of everyone under the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ) rainbow and straight allies.
Our signature event is the monthly First Friday social hosted by TJ Flavell. Often we team up with other groups to co-sponsor events, offering more opportunities for mingling and fun.
Better yet, you may join this cosmopolitan group regardless of where you reside, be it NoVA, DC, or Maryland, or wherever, you are welcome. Our events are the rage! Tell your friends and bring them along.
