Saturday 1st
Tiny Little LGBTQIA+ Library Portland - open today! 3pm - 6pm
Situated in the heart of Fortuneswell, our little library grew from a seed planted in our LGBTQ+ Support Group. Resources for our community are few and far between in Weymouth and, especially, on Portland, and we thought this needed to change. So we made the change. We have a small, but always growing (donations are welcome) selection of literature, and this isn't limited to books. We also have a selection of leaflets to help you find help, support, guidance, and advice from a variety of charities. Oh, and we have tea and coffee available too. The library is run by a small group of volunteers; Amanda, Ash, Nat and Rocca. They're a friendly bunch, and will be happy to help you with any queries you have and, if there's something you're looking for, and you can't find it, they will do their best to help.
Opening times:- Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 3pm - 6pm.

Open Table Weymouth - LGBTQIA+ worship
6pm on the first Sunday of the month Holly Trinity Church Trinity Rd, Weymouth DT4 8TJ
Juliet said:-
Here at Open Table Weymouth, we are learning from our network of churches around the UK, how to offer a safe, inclusive place for members of the LGTBQIA+ community, their friends, families and allies. We recognise that churches can sometimes be a tricky place to settle into, for anyone, and for LGTBQIA+ especially - seeking a genuine, inclusive place to explore faith, and connect with Christianity in a way that only and always speaks of LOVE.
We gather from 6pm on the first Sunday of the month. This gives us chance to catch up with one another, get parked up, and ready for worship which begins at 6.30pm. The services will vary each month. Sometimes a Holy Communion will happen, where we receive bread and wine that has been blessed and made special by one of the ministers. Other times, we will share stories, read scripture and sing songs, as we share an ‘agape’ meal. We do hope that you find a place with us, we can’t wait to welcome you, your friends, families and allies. God bless you Rev Juliet (Vicar of Holy Trinity)

Tiny Little LGBTQIA+ Library Portland - open today! 3pm - 6pm
Situated in the heart of Fortuneswell, our little library grew from a seed planted in our LGBTQ+ Support Group. Resources for our community are few and far between in Weymouth and, especially, on Portland, and we thought this needed to change. So we made the change. We have a small, but always growing (donations are welcome) selection of literature, and this isn't limited to books. We also have a selection of leaflets to help you find help, support, guidance, and advice from a variety of charities. Oh, and we have tea and coffee available too. The library is run by a small group of volunteers; Amanda, Ash, Nat and Rocca. They're a friendly bunch, and will be happy to help you with any queries you have and, if there's something you're looking for, and you can't find it, they will do their best to help.
Opening times:- Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 3pm - 6pm.

Gillingham LGBTQ+ group
(posted first onThe Dorset LGBT+ Community News page. 07/09/2024)
We are not sure if this group is still running?
It is always a great shame when a group that many may wish to join restricts themselves to social media, thus not reaching all of our LGBT+ community. Having multiple ways of contact is essential in recruiting more followers / attendees at a group meetups. This newish group started having events last year, when they have more we hope to list them. It can be very rewarding helping to bring the LGBT+ community together socially. The Gillingham organisers will need lots of support and ideas to help start their group. So if you are in North Dorset and feel you can support them search for them on Facebook.
(We would love to add their events here, as most people are NOT on Facebook or other social media! So can someone please give us regular info for The Dorset LGBT+ Community Events page here, thanks. email [email protected] )

Tiny Little LGBTQIA+ Library Portland - open today! 3pm - 6pm
Situated in the heart of Fortuneswell, our little library grew from a seed planted in our LGBTQ+ Support Group. Resources for our community are few and far between in Weymouth and, especially, on Portland, and we thought this needed to change. So we made the change. We have a small, but always growing (donations are welcome) selection of literature, and this isn't limited to books. We also have a selection of leaflets to help you find help, support, guidance, and advice from a variety of charities. Oh, and we have tea and coffee available too. The library is run by a small group of volunteers; Amanda, Ash, Nat and Rocca. They're a friendly bunch, and will be happy to help you with any queries you have and, if there's something you're looking for, and you can't find it, they will do their best to help.
Opening times:- Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 3pm - 6pm.

Open Table Weymouth - LGBTQIA+ worship
Holly Trinity Church Trinity Rd, Weymouth DT4 8TJ 6pm on the first Sunday of the month
Juliet said:-
Here at Open Table Weymouth, we are learning from our network of churches around the UK, how to offer a safe, inclusive place for members of the LGTBQIA+ community, their friends, families and allies. We recognise that churches can sometimes be a tricky place to settle into, for anyone, and for LGTBQIA+ especially - seeking a genuine, inclusive place to explore faith, and connect with Christianity in a way that only and always speaks of LOVE.
We gather from 6pm on the first Sunday of the month. This gives us chance to catch up with one another, get parked up, and ready for worship which begins at 6.30pm. The services will vary each month. Sometimes a Holy Communion will happen, where we receive bread and wine that has been blessed and made special by one of the ministers. Other times, we will share stories, read scripture and sing songs, as we share an ‘agape’ meal. We do hope that you find a place with us, we can’t wait to welcome you, your friends, families and allies. God bless you Rev Juliet (Vicar of Holy Trinity)

In Cold Blood
Screening as part of the 2025 From Page To Screen film festival
Introduced by novelist and journalist Xan Brooks
Arkansas 1959. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, two ex-convicts, hatch a plan to rob a wealthy farmer’s family – the Cutters. The robbery goes horribly wrong, resulting in the deaths of the entire family. Truman Capote wrote his celebrated non-fiction novel based on the Cutters’ fate and created a whole new literary genre. Director Richard Brooks adapted the book, retaining some of Capote’s gay subtext, and, aspiring to a documentary aesthetic, cast two unknown actors, Robert Blake and Scott Wilson, in the lead roles. Filmed in black and white widescreen on location in Arkansas and partly in the Cutters’ actual house, the film’s dark, menacing and gripping narrative is enhanced by the remarkable performances of Blake and Wilson.
Dir. Richard Brooks, USA 1967, 135 mins. With Robert Blake, Scott Wilson, John Forsythe, Paul Stewart.

Situated in the heart of Fortuneswell, our little library grew from a seed planted in our LGBTQ+ Support Group.

We also have a selection of leaflets to help you find help, support, guidance, and advice from a variety of charities. Oh, and we have tea and coffee available too. The library is run by a small group of volunteers; Amanda, Ash, Nat and Rocca. They're a friendly bunch, and will be happy to help you with any queries you have and, if there's something you're looking for, and you can't find it, they will do their best to help.

Gillingham LGBTQ+ group
(posted first onThe Dorset LGBT+ Community News page. 07/09/2024)
We are not sure if this group is still running? If you know, please tell us!
It is always a great shame when a group that many may wish to join restricts themselves to social media, thus not reaching all of our LGBT+ community. Having multiple ways of contact is essential in recruiting more followers / attendees at group events/meetups.
This newish group started having events last year (2024), when they have more we hope to list them. It can be very rewarding helping to bring the LGBT+ community together socially. The Gillingham organisers will need lots of support and ideas to help start their group. So if you are in North Dorset and feel you can support them search for them on Facebook.
(We would love to add their events here, as most people are NOT on Facebook or other social media! So can someone please give us regular info for The Dorset LGBT+ Community Events page here, thanks. email [email protected] )

Open Table Weymouth - LGBTQIA+ worship (09/08/2024)
6pm on the first Sunday of the month Holly Trinity Church Trinity Rd, Weymouth DT4 8TJ
Juliet said:-
Here at Open Table Weymouth, we are learning from our network of churches around the UK, how to offer a safe, inclusive place for members of the LGTBQIA+ community, their friends, families and allies. We recognise that churches can sometimes be a tricky place to settle into, for anyone, and for LGTBQIA+ especially - seeking a genuine, inclusive place to explore faith, and connect with Christianity in a way that only and always speaks of LOVE.
We gather from 6pm on the first Sunday of the month. This gives us chance to catch up with one another, get parked up, and ready for worship which begins at 6.30pm. The services will vary each month. Sometimes a Holy Communion will happen, where we receive bread and wine that has been blessed and made special by one of the ministers. Other times, we will share stories, read scripture and sing songs, as we share an ‘agape’ meal. We do hope that you find a place with us, we can’t wait to welcome you, your friends, families and allies. God bless you.
