I was just wondering.  Are any of you in CT?  I was thinking maybe some like minded people could get together and talk in person.  Maybe a bbq/cookout/lunch/dinner/byob or something else low-key.  Just friends talking?  Male/Female/Trans/Whatever.  Just an idea.  Who knows, maybe you'll run in to a friend without having to out yourself, who has the same ideas/plans?  Maybe. yes/no?  Winter is upon us in the NE.  It's getting cold.  You can always say you were "meeting a friend" if that helps relieve tension.  Just an idea.
