50+ HangOuts – Pride & Personal Identity
Join us for a conversation about Pride & personal identity.
Topic: Pride & Personal Identity
Date: Tuesday 10th June, 2025
Time: 6 – 8pm
Where: Via Zoom
About this session
Join us for a discussion about what “Pride & Personal Identity” means to you from your lived experience?
“For me ‘Pride & Personal Identity’ is about a journey that includes self-acceptance, community, chosen family and resistance. It’s a feeling of satisfaction and liberation, empowering us to embrace our true selves, regardless of societal expectations or cultural pressures. Pride can be a journey of self-discovery which can lead to greater self-esteem and overall physical, social and emotional well-being.” – Dan Singh
About 50+ HangOuts
50+ HangOuts is a twice-monthly friendly and welcoming online social and support group for all older LGBTQ+ people. We understand that the importance of meeting other LGBTQ+ people and we want to create a safe and welcoming space together to get to know each other. The group is open to anyone LGBTQ+ aged 50 and over.
- We meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month 6-8pm
- Please try to arrive 5 minutes early. The Zoom room closes at 6.10pm. This is so we minimize any disruption.

50+ HangOuts – Pride & Personal Identity
Join us for a conversation about Pride & personal identity.
Topic: Pride & Personal Identity
Date: Tuesday 10th June, 2025
Time: 6 – 8pm
Where: Via Zoom
About this session
Join us for a discussion about what “Pride & Personal Identity” means to you from your lived experience?
“For me ‘Pride & Personal Identity’ is about a journey that includes self-acceptance, community, chosen family and resistance. It’s a feeling of satisfaction and liberation, empowering us to embrace our true selves, regardless of societal expectations or cultural pressures. Pride can be a journey of self-discovery which can lead to greater self-esteem and overall physical, social and emotional well-being.” – Dan Singh
About 50+ HangOuts
50+ HangOuts is a twice-monthly friendly and welcoming online social and support group for all older LGBTQ+ people. We understand that the importance of meeting other LGBTQ+ people and we want to create a safe and welcoming space together to get to know each other. The group is open to anyone LGBTQ+ aged 50 and over.
- We meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month 6-8pm
