PFLAG SOFFA Support Group
2025-12-06 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Denver) | The Historic Grant Avenue Community Center, 216 S. Grant St, Denver, 80209
It's often said that when a loved one transitions, everyone around them transitions too. PFLAG Denver's SOFFA group acknowledges that sometimes those closest to a transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming person may need assistance to better provide support. Regardless of where you are on your allyship journey, our peer-led groups provide brave space for you to adapt and develop expanded capacities of empathy and understanding. Through each other's stories, we gain perspective, we hold accountability, and we celebrate joys. We learn coping strategies that can foster personal growth and resilience so that we may better support our loved ones. The collective insights and shared strength found in SOFFA can help individuals navigate their difficulties with increased emotional support and a sense of community, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and healing journey.
Monthly registration is strongly encouraged to help us maintain up-to-date utilization records and reach you if there is a last-minute change for the support group.

Santa’s Naughty List: A Kink Tasting Experience

It’s that time of year again—when the stockings are hung with care and the whips are hung within reach.

This hands-on event invites curious newcomers and seasoned kinksters alike to unwrap their desires and discover new sensations guided by experienced presenters.

You’ll travel through a winter wonderland of temptation, where each station offers a different flavor of play to sample—from impact and sensation to bondage and beyond. Feel free to watch, ask questions, or dive in for a little holiday experimentation. Consent and communication are our golden (and glittery) rules, and our friendly elves will be on hand to help you navigate every deliciously naughty option.

So dust off your red velvet, shine up those boots, and get ready to jingle some bells! Come in your most festive wear! Whether you’re looking to spice up your season, connect with like-minded adventurers, or simply see what all the buzz is about, this event promises a night that’s both educational and erotically spirited. Naughty has never felt so nice.
Special packages and couple's tickets are available as well!

This is a drop in event. Feel free to show up anytime between 6 and 9PM!

Older, Wiser, Sexually Smarter - Rediscovering Intimacy Later in Life
This weekly discussion group is facilitated by a West of 50 staff member and focuses on dismantling sexual misconceptions and introducing evidence-based topics to help older adults engage in their best sex-positive-selves. The group operates based on important and fundamental concepts about sexuality and ages. Older adults can examine and possibly change the “sexual scripts” they have learned from childhood about to think and behave as sexual people. Many of these scripts are not relevant for older adults. Additionally, sex is more than intercourse. Especially in the later years, individuals can to explore the possibilities of non-penetrative sex, or “outercourse”.
We cover topics such as

Sexual decisions later in life
Good Sex: What Makes it So
Looking for Love Later in Life
Safer Sex Activities for Older Adults
From Problems to Possibilities: Sexuality, Aging, Disability, & Chronic Illness
Bottoming
Nipple play
Bondage & Discipline
Dominance & Submission
Sex History
Oral Sex
And so much more!
