menpoint
second Monday of the month, 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., *innen space
Target group:
This offer is aimed at gay and bisexual men of ages 20 and above from Kassel city and the surrounding area who want to get together in a relaxed and safe environment away from the party and restaurant scene.
Group content:
This group serves as a place to meet and exchange ideas with other gay and bisexual men in similar life circumstances and emotional worlds in a safe environment, and to experience that you are not alone with your feelings and fears, or that you don't have to cope with them and hide them. The group meets for themed discussion evenings (e.g., coming out; socio-political position and acceptance, for example within the family or circle of friends; etc.) and joint visits to cultural events.
The founders see the group as autonomous and independent, far removed from organizational structures—there are no membership fees. Menpoint is not a dating platform.
Background: How it all began with “menpoint”
Once upon a time, there was a man somewhere. One day, he decided to start coming out. However, it took another six months before he opened up to his colleagues at work.
And so it came about that one of his colleagues made contact with men who volunteered at the “Gay Counseling Center in Kassel.” The three of them got together to get to know each other and make plans. Together, they outlined enough topics and discussion points to last for six months of meetings.
This attempt was to last six months in any case. A meeting place for men. A meeting point for men. That's how Menpoint came about. That was in February 2013 – so Menpoint has been around for over 10 years now.
