After recovering from Covid,
Hugh Hysell presents
Gay Virtual Events
Powered by TheMenEvent.com
Hugh Hysell (founder of The Men Event, New York City’s long established leader in Gay events) is proud to host a series of new online events for the LGBT community, each with a virtual eye towards meeting a wide variety of interests, activities and themes.
These events range from game nights (Big Gay Trivia, Zoom That Tune, Big Gay Dating Game, Gay Game Night ), Gay speed dating (many themes and age groups including Family Man speed dating for those men who want to start a family – or already have kids), themed dinner parties (including nights for Gay Men Of Color, Vegans, Gay men 50+, etc.), performances (including the Pride edition of their legendary Gaylarious Comedy Show, Greek Mom’s Advice Show), exercise parties (including A Gay Karate Mixer: Kicks and Punches and SAKE, "OH MY!") and more.
Hysell says “I wanted to start these events back in March, but I caught Covid 19 and that took a hella lot out of me. I had all of the symptoms but thankfully didn't need to be hospitalized. Still, I was exhausted. Now, I have my mojo back, and we are thrilled to create new programming and present online versions of our popular signature events!”
These events run on the zoom app and participants only need a device with a screen and microphone. While more guests have been in the tri-state area, Hysell says “we have had several guests from Europe including an adorable young man with a lovely accent from Brighton UK. We serve everyone!”
