GAY POZ CAMPING IN TX May 2019
Greetings to my Gay Brothers & Sisters,
I am curious to see if anyone has attended the camping weekend for the GLBTQIA who are POZ set in Texas? I am planning on attending this coming year with a friend. If you have attended, I would love to hear your experience and maybe what goes on. If you know of more gatherings\ workshops\ conferences near Arizona, please let me know and hope I can attend if it revolves around the GLBTQIA or Healthy POZ living and lifestyle. Thank you.
