These are statements from some of the more than 500 gay and bisexual men who have attended one or more of our Men's weekends in which up to 60 Discovery men meet to talk, have fun, and get to know one another. The Discovery Community, Inc. is a non-profit organization that promotes the welfare of gay and bisexual men by providing opportunities for personal growth and community building. Some gay and bisexual men want to make a difference, to belong, to be loved, to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Discovery is about friendship.
For the many more Discovery men who have not found or not wanted a relationship, the community gatherings create close friendships and extended family ties. Discovery welcomes new members. Darryl attended his third Discovery retreat last Memorial Day, inviting one of his co-workers, Jake, to come along. I knew right away I'd have fun with them. The party is a great idea.
