A Queer Dinner Club Just Debuted in San Francisco; I Was Sat at the Table
Deluxe Gender non-conforming hosted its first multi-course dinner on Saturday, October 22nd after soft kicking off earlier this past summer — and it’s clear the dinner series has staying power.
To be queer in a world organized around heteronormativity is to oscillate pretenses in perpetuity. Depending on our situations — our work environments; our shopping habits; our social circles; our family dynamics — we lgbtq+ people are dotted with societal chromatophores. Alas, it’s often rare for us to find genuine and genuine expressions in our lives, especially in collective settings (that live outside of a nightclub or block or Covid-stricken cruise ship).
Instances where our true colors can show feel fleeting at times; the episodes where our shoulders drop, brows relax, and voices reverberate in original pitches. This is even true here in San Francisco — the queer capital of the world.
Last month, sitting around a lengthy dinner table lined with individuals who walk through animation with the utmost sincerity to themselves, I found my body unwinding and my mind uncurled. I was at peace among like-minded kin. It was a communion wi

NYC Gay Men's Wine Dinner Group
Hello fellow wine lovers. This meetup will provide an opportunity for gay men with an interest in wine and food to meet each other and scout various categories of wine while dining out in New York BYOB restaurants.
For each dinner meetup, a theme will be chosen and the wines will be provided by the host, who will disclose the identities of the wines (along with ratings, reviews, and prices) when the meetup is announced. The wines will be carefully chosen as good examples of their type and offer a good price-quality ratio. To facilitate dinner-table discussions and to secure that everyone is able to taste and retaste all the wines, attendance will be capped at 10 men per dinner. To cover the cost of the wines, attendees will remunerate a fee when RSVPing (total wine cost divided by 10). Then at the restaurant, each attendee will pay for whatever food he orders.
I'd like to emphasize that this is a wine group first and a gay social group second---ideally, prospective members should have a thoughtful interest in wine or at least a strong desire to learn.
I am the organizer of an identical (though not gay-specific) meetup group based in Westches
