We meet together on the first and third Monday of each month, and the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, to discuss, as friends, the ongoing changes in our lives. Some of us identify ourselves as gay, bisexual, or even "mostly straight," but most of us are leery of labels altogether. See our home page at www.bmmg.org. We have all been married. Most of us are currently married; some of us are separated or divorced, some contemplating divorce, some hoping for reconciliation. If prospective new members feel they are in a personal crisis, we try to offer a referral to sources of immediate help, such as the Fenway Community Health Center, Tel 617-927-6202, or the Brighton Allston Mental Health Center, Tel 617-787-1901. We are not equipped ourselves to do crisis intervention. We meet every first and third Monday and every second and fourth Tuesday. Meetings begin at 7:00 and end at 9:00. Continuing members pay $5 per month to cover rent and telephone expenses. For directions to our meeting see the home page or call 781-316-1985. We are a leaderless group. One man volunteers to act as facilitator each evening, but the various leadership roles and functions are shared by everyone
