Come out, Come out, wherever you are!

A new resident of Venango County is beginning to believe there are no gay men in the area. Imagine that! He read all the warnings from the AFA and WAWN, moved here and nobody's home.
It does pose the question - how do GLBT people get together in Venango County. Just meet. No Diane, not to have orgies and destroy your family, just meet. Sorry to disappoint your wild imagination.
For those of us who have lived here many years, we suffer the same problem. But we know who to call on a given night to find out where the local are gathering. And we have typically stayed underground so we don't raise the attention of those who are determined that we should not exist in the light of day.
New people are moving to our area and they include GLBT people. So folks, we want the existing community to be fair and open to us. How are we going to be welcoming to our new GLBT people? How can we - as a GLBT community - put out a welcome mat for our new neighbors?
You have a venue that is open to your ideas. Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Open song circle every Tuesday night at the Latonia. 6.30

Great place to meet new people AND make music.
