Knoxville Monday Gay Men's Group

Meets each Monday 7:30-9:00 pm at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Church, 2931 Kingston Pike.

Facilitated discussions on topics and issues relevant to local gay men in a safe and open place. The group is open to anyone to drop in each week - no long term commitment is required to join. Attendance varies between 10 to 35. Ages range from 18 to 70, most between 30 and 55. Dress is very casual. There is no charge for the group, but giving a dollar towards room use, if you can, is appreciated. We meet every Monday except for Monday holidays and the Monday after Christmas. We've been meeting weekly for 14 years!
