Online (Swedish) site with lots of local scene info. Just pop the URL into the Google language translation tool and you’ll get a good idea of what’s up.

Let’s call it a queer, Scandinavian Facebook. On Qruiser you’ll find everything you need for a gay old time in Stockholm. Chat with Qruiser members, join specific interest groups, learn about all of the latest club nights, the hottest restos and everything else of interest to LGBT visitors to Stockholm (and all of Scandinavia). Much of the information is available in English.
QX
A seriously excellent online resource, as well as a printed magazine. On the site you’ll find a free downloadable map of queer Stockholm and they also have an amazing website with some content available in English.
RFSL (Riksförbundet för homosexuellas, bisexuellas och transpersoners rättigheter)
Walking into this local LGBT community center is a total surprise. Located in a generic office building, you’d never expect to find such a lovely space for queers to meet. RFSL is one of the world’s oldest LGBT orgnizations, founded back in 1950! The Centre hosts a number of groups including the extremely popular Golden Ladies for lesbian seniors on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Employees here are also super-helpful and speak English if you have any questions.
