SUMMARY:Rainbow Men: Goes to the movies
DESCRIPTION:Rainbow Men is our social and support group for gay and bisexual men living with HIV\, including men who have sex with men but don’t identify as gay or bisexual. This group is for you if you are HIV positive and either live in East London or get your HIV care in an East London clinic.  It usually meets on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month\, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out\, so its best to check these listing regularly. \nThis month\, Rainbow Men returns to its regular day and time\, with Rainbow Men Goes to the Movies – an occasional movie night slot showing a range of films with themes covering HIV and/or LGBT interests\, from mainstream to world cinema.  Tonight is a ‘90s classic\, Boys on the Side\, with gay icon Whoopi Goldberg and a shirtless Matthew McConaughey.  Even if you’ve seen the film before\, remember that Rainbow Men at the Movies is as much about joining in and being part of the Rainbow Men community as it is about seeing the film. \nIt’s a two-hour film\, so we will be finishing up a bit later than usual\, at about 9pm. Pizza and popcorn will be served with the help of our friendly Group Support volunteers.  Doors open from 6pm and we’ll be looking to start the movie around 6.45pm \nIf travel or care costs are a barrier to taking part\, please let us know in advance. \nFor more information\, or to tell us you’re coming\, contact Nick.Maxwell@positiveeast.org.uk
