BBLSS invites you to abandon your Internet anonymity and meet the many quality, self-actualized women in your GLBT community. Outside fellowship is a vital part of our personal affirmation, and many of us are active outside our Internet community, willing to explore our surroundings and experience the world with all five senses. BBLSS provides social opportunities for women to meet in person for fellowship, mutual support, and friendship with other women. We host private Meet and Greets and happy hours, in addition to coordinating group gatherings for club ventures, brunches, parties, and retreats. Unless otherwise specified, all BBLSS social activities are “women only.” In addition, BBLSS collaborates with other gay-oriented social groups and political organizations. Check below for current activities.
