As the leaves turn fabulous shades of gold and the air gets as crisp as a pair of new kicks, you might wonder where to flutter next after the campground gates close. No need to hibernate just yet! Here’s how to keep your social life blooming with activities that are perfect for sweater weather.
Stroll the Scenic Route
Who says you need a parade to strut your stuff? Grab a pumpkin spice latte and hit the local LGBTQ+ walking tours. It’s a great way to soak in the autumn colors while gabbing about the local gay lore of your city’s most haunted (and sassiest) spots. You never know who might ‘fall’ into step beside you!
Get Sporty with a Dash of Spice
If you’re more about team goals than solo strolls, why not join a gay sports league? Whether it’s flag football, ultimate frisbee, or getting down and dirty in mud-soaked rugby, fall is the perfect season to show off your athletic prowess (or at least your new athletic gear). And let’s face it, a little mud never hurt anyone!
Dance Under the Harvest Moon
Twirl your partner round and round at a local dance class. From tango to two-step, these queer dance events are perfect for those who like to move and groove. As the evenings draw in, why take the chance to get a little closer under the dim lights of the dance hall? At a recent event, I even met gay line dancers, so the possibilities are really endless.
Seasonal Sips and Gossip Tips
No need to wait for the bars to get hopping when you can host a cocktail crafting night. Invite your friends over for an evening where you can shake up some autumn-inspired cocktails. Think apple cinnamon martinis or pumpkin old-fashioned. It’s a fabulous way to learn a new skill, share some juicy stories, and sip your creations under a cozy blanket.
Keep the Glow Going
Don’t let the shorter days dim your social spark. Bundle up, step out, or log on—there are endless ways to make this autumn memorable. From leaf-peeping picnics to bonfire nights complete with ghost stories and handsome apparitions, let this fall be filled with warmth and laughter. After all, who needs the light when you’ve got that much sparkle in your life?
