Other Fun Stuff
Backgammon Babes
Calling all backgammon fans! Here’s a twice monthly Sunday afternoon meet-up for lesbian backgammon players (or even wannabe players). The venue changes, so email for info.
Bayou City Women’s Chorus
Women’s community chorus that performs regularly on their own, or with the Gay Men’s Chorus.
Gendermyn
Houston’s premiere (and only) drag king troupe plays regular gigs all around Houston. Check their website for upcoming events.
Gulf Coast Archive and Museum of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender History
“Although we have had to close the museum space, our archives are still available by appointment. Additionally, we do have a few satellite exhibits throughout the city and arrangements can be made for temporary ones for special functions.”
Houston Comets
The Comets are one of the better teams in the WNBA, so no matter what you’re in for a ride at one of their games. For many years the Comets could say with pride that they were out lesbian Sheryl Swoopes’ team.... but no more now that she's been traded to Seattle.
Houston Energy
Houston’s women’s professional football team. This is a new league that is gaining momentum across North America and these girls play for real. Go on out and support them as this is a league that is absolutely grassroots right now, but aiming for WNBA status.
Houston Pride Band
“Originally known as the Montrose Marching Band, the organization was formed by a small group of musicians in 1978 as a way to make new friends and to provide entertainment for Houston's gay and lesbian community.” The band plays several concerts a year in and around Houston.
Houston Roller Derby
I love roller derby anywhere, any day. Houston’s flat track women’s league is fairly developed with five teams (my favorite team name is the Machete Betties!), despite only having been around since 2005.
Scorpio's Rainbow Poetry Reading Club
A new group started by poet Lesa Jackson that meets regularly at the Houston GLBT Community Center. Email for more info.
Southern Country Houston
LGBT country/western dance group. They offer free dance lessons on Thursday nights for all, no partner needed.
Unhinged Productions
Houston’s LGBT theatre company presents a full annual season in various theatre spaces.
