Whether you're newly single, newly out, or simply ready to try something new, this Washington, DC speed dating event offers a fun, low-pressure way to meet queer singles face-to-face and see where the chemistry takes you. Q: Who is this event for? A: This event is designed for lesbian, bisexual, trans, nonbinary, and queer+ people who want to connect, flirt, and see where things go. This event is not for cisgender or gay men. These events are proudly trans-welcoming. Kindness is required, respect is non-negotiable, and intolerance of any kind is a no-go. We ask everyone to honor names, pronouns, and identities so all attendees can feel comfortable being themselves. Anyone unable to do so may be asked to leave. This is a 21+ event. Q: How does the matching software work? A: Before the event, you share your preferences, including your preferred age range and where your ideal date falls on the masculine-to-feminine spectrum. Our smart matching system then prioritizes speed dates with people who align with your preferences, creating a more intentional experience than traditional speed dating. While our technology can improve compatibility, it can't guarantee that every date will be your ideal type. Q: What happens during the speed dating event? A: You will have up to ten one-on-one conversations that last five minutes. After each date, you privately note whether you would like to connect again. Our easy-to-use matching software identifies mutual matches after the event. Q: What should I do after the event ends? A: Don't rush off! We encourage you to stay, grab a drink, mingle, and keep the conversations going. It's a great opportunity to reconnect with someone you clicked with and make new friends. Q: What if I am shy or new to dating events? A: You're in good company! Many guests are trying speed dating for the first time. The structured format helps take the pressure off because everyone is there for the same reason, and five-minute conversations make it easy to break the ice. A friendly host will guide you through the evening and make sure you feel comfortable and welcome from the moment you arrive. You don't need to be outgoing or experienced. Just show up and be yourself, and we'll take care of the rest. Q: Where can I find more Lesbian, Bi, Trans, Queer+ speed dating events?

Shall We Gather? Allyship, Music & The Power of Collective Voice

Come hang out for a night of music, allyship, and the magic that happens when voices come together. Recreating the spirit and structure of the mass meetings that powered the Civil Rights Movement, March On! and Metropolitan AME Church, convene an evening of reflection, testimony, and collective action — centered on immigration, the responsibilities of allyship, and the ongoing struggle for freedom. Grounded in the question of how we show up for immigrant communities with respect, humility, and courage, this gathering invites participants to move beyond intention toward meaningful, sustained action. The program begins with voices from the pulpit and the movement, then turns to a featured conversation — moderated by Robert Raben — with Rev. William H. Lamar IV, Bishop Mariann Budde and Rahiel Tesfamariamon on what meaningful allyship requires in this moment. Music is woven throughout as a shared, participatory experience, featuring Mumu Fresh and Civil Rights icon Rutha Mae Harris, alongside an audience sing inspired by the Freedom Songs that once unified and galvanized a movement. ASL interpretation will be available. PARTNER Metropolitan AME Church: Located in Washington, DC, Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church is the national church of African Methodism. For generations it has served as both a sacred space for spiritual growth and a driving force in the civic, cultural, and intellectual life of African Americans and the broader community. Rev.
