The "Gay Potlucks" got its start back in the late 1980's in Toronto and by the early 1990's became known as "The Gay Potluck Network" with over 100 members. We then left for Vancouver BC, leaving the Toronto in capable hands (or so we thought). When we arrived in Vancouver the name was changed to "The Gay Rainbow Potluck Network" which was eventually changed by the late 1990's to "Rainbow Potlucks" and we have maintained that name till today and have moved back to Toronto.
The main reason for the name today is that we have many non-gay members along with many more Lesbian members then its original beginnings.
The Potlucks have networks in Toronto, Vancouver, New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Miami. We exchanged info on Potluck dates and have trips to the various locations. Many more of the US members from places like Buffalo have attended the Toronto potlucks in the past.
We invite anyone to join male or female, any race, any age group, our members have been from their late teens to their late 40's and more. We have had doctors, lawyers, office workers, restaurant employees and even movie producers attend our potlucks.
The main purpose of the potlucks is to network and meet new and interesting people, while trying new and sometimes unusual foods. It has become a great way for people new to the area to meet new people and for those of us who are not into going to bars can meet people in a comfortable casual setting.
We usually have the potlucks on the last Saturday of every month and randomly pick other times during the month to celebrate members Birthdays, Holidays and various special occasions. We also do beach parties in the summer, camping & skiing weekends in the winter along with movie and game nights (bowling & pool nights being extremely popular in the past). We are also open to theme night suggestions from our members (Rocky Horror / Gothic nights, Priscilla / drag nights and 80's Disco theme nights have been successful in the past)
If you are interested in meeting some new people just email us about your interests, birth dates, and ethnic beliefs (mainly for holiday reasons). Also briefly tell us why you would like to come and what you are expecting from these potlucks.
Below are some links to pictures of my personal photos, plus past potlucks and some of our members. Hope you enjoy and we look forward to finding more new members....So have fun till next we meet....
