Gay Social's Java & Jazz

Java and Jazz is one of those mornings where the music, coffee, and conversation all blend together. Live jazz fills the room while people settle in at tables, listen for a bit, then lean into conversation between songs. When the space fills up, the gathering often spills outside, with small groups chatting on the sidewalk and enjoying the morning together.
Friends catch up, new faces are welcomed in, and the shared experience of live music makes starting a conversation feel easy. Whether you are inside listening to the band or outside talking with others, it is a comfortable way to spend part of your morning with the community.

Pub and Pour at Project P.U.B. in Somerville feels like coming back to where it all started. This is where Gay Social first took shape, and the night still carries that familiar, welcoming energy. People drop in after work, catch up with friends, and pull new faces into the mix without much effort.
The space makes it easy to move between conversations, grab a seat with a small group, or settle in at the bar. From time to time, this event also features fun themes, so keep an eye out for something a little different mixed into the night.
Look for our Community Managers, Keith Landon & Jon Cisek, who is there to welcome newcomers, make introductions, and help everyone feel comfortable joining in.

Reading Between the Lines is a book-centered gathering that brings the LGBTQ community together for thoughtful, group conversation. The book is chosen by past attendees, which helps shape each gathering into something that feels shared and community-driven from the start.
The discussion is open and welcoming, with people jumping in to share thoughts, listen, and connect through different perspectives. You do not need to be a fast reader or have every page finished to feel part of the conversation. Curiosity and openness go a long way here.
Our Community Managers and the owners of Howling Basset Books, welcome newcomers and help guide the discussion so everyone has space to participate.
