Join us for GaysGiving, a friendsgiving-style community event for LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to celebrate food, friends, and chosen family during the holiday season. Whether you’re away from loved ones, navigating family dynamics, or simply looking for a joyful and welcoming space, GaysGiving is for you.

This casual, community-centered gathering includes:

• A shared meal — bring a dish or dessert to share, or donate to the Pittsburgh Equality Center
• Good conversation and community connection
• A warm, welcoming space to celebrate with chosen family

All identities, orientations, and generations are welcome. Come as you are, solo or with a friend — there’s a place for you here.

Where: Hazelwood Brewhouse — 5007 Lytle St., Pittsburgh, PA 15207

We’re grateful to Hazelwood Brewhouse for welcoming us for GaysGiving! Help us show our appreciation by grabbing a drink while you’re here. Whether you prefer an alcoholic beverage or something non-alcoholic, every purchase is a wonderful way to support the local business helping us bring our community together.

Cost: Admission is free! If you’re able, bring a dish or dessert to share, or consider making a donation to Pittsburgh Equality Center (beverage purchases are encouraged to support our host venue but are not required to attend).

Let’s gather in gratitude, warmth, and queer joy.

Tell us what you’re bringing and submit your GaysGiving dish on the sign-up sheet on their website: https://pghequalitycenter.org/event/gaysgiving-2026/
