terms & conditions
By registering for or attending an event, you agree to Gay Social’s Terms and Conditions and acknowledge our Privacy and Cookie Policy, which explain participation requirements, community standards, and how personal information is handled.
our event venue sponsors
We wouldn’t be able to bring the community together without the support of the amazing venues that open their doors to us. From coffee shops and bars to studios and bookstores, these partners give us the space to connect, share, and grow together.
new to our events?
We get it. Showing up to something new can feel a little intimidating, whether you’re an extrovert or an introvert. That’s why every event has a dedicated Community Manager ready to greet you, make introductions, and help you feel at home. Lots of people come on their own, and most leave with new friends.
