Gay District is a community-based organization focused on building understanding of gay culture and personal identity, awareness of community events and civil rights for gay, bi, trans, queer and questioning (GBTQQ) men between the ages of 18 to 35 in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Empowering them with the opportunity to assist and participate in activities will foster a better gay community. Our mission is to help our participants become aware of everything the region has to offer through social and professional networking opportunities as well as partnering with other LGBT groups and community-based organizations for various activities and volunteering.

Through a synthesis of interpersonal interaction and community involvement, we aim to promote a more productive GBTQQ community and an enlightened understanding of gay urban living. In addition, we believe that our program will encourage them to become more active in the social justice arena. We strive to reach our mission through weekly facilitated discussions, happy hours, weekend outings, community and cultural events, volunteer opportunities, and other activities created by and for our participants.

Gay District meets on Friday nights in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Northwest DC for facilitated group discussions and then heads to a local restaurant for dinner. We host several social events at venues across the DC metro area throughout the year as well.
