Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits
BAAITS serves the LGBT American Indian community. They hold a potluck dinner on the last Friday of every month at the LGBT Community Center
Bay Area Bisexual Network
"Our mission is to develop a healthy, vibrant, multicultural bisexual community in the San Francisco Bay Area and to promote better understanding of bisexual lives and issues within the larger LGBTQ community and the public." The group organizes a number of events throughout the year.
Dykes on Bikes
This is the group that started it all, with a bunch of women bikers participating in San Francisco’s Pride march in 1976. When they tried to trademark the Dykes on Bikes name in 2005, they were initially prevented from doing so because the word “dyke” was considered inappropriate. These gals eventually won their fight, and kudos to them for taking on the man and winning!
Francophone Dykes
If you find the Cercle des Amis Francophones has too many boys for you, this girl group for French-speaking lesbians is your better bet.
Girls Love Fun
Social group for all bent girls, with a special welcome to those who consider themselves a bit on the femmey side.
Jewish Community Federation LGBT Alliance
Affiliated with the San Francisco Jewish Community Centre, this very active LGBT group hosts several events throughout the year.
