While some of these events are more social-based, and others more education-based, we hope to build a community committed to healthy minds, bodies, and relationships. So whether you’re looking for new friends or new “friends,” come and join us! Events will be posted on this page, so keep watch and don’t miss out

Geeks OUT rallies, empowers and promotes the queer geek community.

Ours is a diverse and growing culture made up of enthusiastic fans of all ages, colors, genders, sizes, and nationalities. Through regular events and a dynamic social media and online presence, Geeks OUT seeks to facilitate interaction locally, globally, and virtually, both to celebrate our shared geekiness and to focus and promote our own unique LGBT voice within that community.

Geeks OUT aims to offer and maintain a visible and vivacious queer presence at geek events, fostering inclusivity and openness within our community. By hosting a booth at conventions, we highlight the fact that LGBT fans are an integral part of geek culture, encouraging greater participation and representation for this generation of queer fans and the next.

Once upon a time, there was a group called Boys and Brews. This group flourished for a while, but then one day it just disappeared. After many questions about where the group had gone or when and where the next meeting was, it decided to come back out of hiding. After the months of solitude, the group found itself in a new transcendent state. In this new state, it decided to call itself “GBTea.” And now, GBTea is coming out, bringing with it a new era of Mpowerment.

GBTea is a social group for all gay/bi men and transgender/trans* women under 30 in the St. Louis area. We’ll be meeting at 2pm at Mokabe’s Coffee House. Our first meeting will be about meeting new people within the community! Oh, and your first (non-alcoholic) beverage is free!
