As this is a true league, quick visitors to Boston can’t join in on a game of hoops. But if you’re around for an extended period of time, newbies are welcome. The Boston Gay Basketball League calls itself America’s largest gay basketball league (but in this case, gay means for both men and women. There are a number of separate women’s teams).
