任務： Gay＆Sober的任務很簡單–為清醒的LGBTQ社區提供安全，有趣和豐富的體驗。我們的主要目的是鼓勵團結並提高人的素養。
願景：本著團結的精神，我們團結在一起，相互支持和相愛，並向其他人，特別是初學者展示，確實有可能變得幸福，快樂和清醒。每年一次，我們在紐約市舉辦一次特別活動，慶祝酒精中毒和吸毒成癮的恢復。在三個特殊的日子裡，數百名研究員匯聚一堂，參加了一個週末的創新健康與健康研討會，大型演講者會議，精神成長和頂級娛樂活動。我們還贊助所有LGBTQ人群參加“驕傲日”慶祝活動，為遊行隊伍提供安全的空間，並在哈德遜河上進行晚舞-並伴有煙花！
我們的會議代表來自世界各個角落的12個步驟計劃。對於那些熟悉以前的Hot N Dry或YPAA活動的人，您會喜歡我們提供的能量！
精神：我們本著兄弟般，友善，團契和冒險的精神來做到這一點！
“看著人們康復，看到他們幫助別人，看著寂寞消失，看到與您有關的團契成長，有很多朋友，這是您一定不能錯過的經歷。我們知道您不會想念它。”

2011年6月，一家名為Queer＆Sober的非營利性公司在紐約的“驕傲週末”舉辦了為期三天的獎學金活動，其中包括在“驕傲週日”進行的巡遊。在Christian P.，Keith B.，David C.和Jackson S.的指導下，Queer＆Sober於2011年至2013年運營。2013年7月，Queer＆Sober停業，但《傲慢週末》的精彩傳統是如火如荼。 2014年10月，男子活動棕櫚泉的Hot'n Dry宣布將於2015年9月舉行歡送會。克里斯蒂安是Facebook小組的管理員，看到了一個獨特的機會來發起新的，重新想像的冒險。 2015年6月，Gay＆Sober Men's Facebook小組的成員幾乎一致投票通過了第一次會議。下一個大問題在何時何地。立即想到了費城，華盛頓特區和紐約等目的地城市。在2016年1月，該小組投票表決並宣布它將在紐約市舉行會議，並將與《驕傲週末》同時舉行。 2016年3月，Big Apple綜述的Jerry X.在Facebook上宣布，感恩節週末30年後，Big Apple綜述將從感恩節週末轉變為Pride Weekend。
*男女同性戀者大會上的重要年度會議得到了匿名戒酒協會（ GaL-AA.org ）的認可。 Gay＆Sober Inc.是紐約州501c3免稅的非營利組織。所有捐贈和捐款均可抵稅。本著合作的精神，Gay＆Sober贊助了AA，AL-ANON和CMA會議，分別捐贈和支持AA，AL-ANON和CMA。在每個大型每晚會議上都會收集一個單獨的第七傳統收藏，並直接發送給AA或CMA。 Gay＆Sober Inc.沒有薪水的職位。整個組織由志願者經營。如果您想查看Gay＆Sober的財務報表，請發送電子郵件至contact@gayandsober.org。

Gay＆Sober Inc.與Big Apple Roundup Inc.沒有關聯。Gay ＆Sober Inc.和Big Apple Roundup Inc.都是自治的和獨立的業務實體。正如機管局第三屆會議的長篇形式所描述的那樣，就像在其他綜述會上的會議一樣，由GSM協會在小組會議上召開的機管局主要會議宣布並認為自己是機管局小組。因此，Gay＆Sober會議上的機管局會議每年都會做出特殊貢獻，以支持匿名者的工作。有關我們的財務支持的問題，請致電212-870-3400與酒精飲料匿名捐款部門聯繫。對於Crystal Meth Anonymous World Services可以說相同。
機管局將大蘋果摘要集列為在每月第1個星期四和第3個星期日在第13街208號舉行的每兩週一次的會議。有關大蘋果綜述的問題可以在這些會議上解決。戒酒者匿名總服務辦公室已通知Gay＆Sober，他們無權承認任何年度會議，團體或聚會。目錄清單並不意味著批准或認可任何團體對傳統機管局計劃的做法或實踐。
In June of 2011, a nonprofit company titled Queer & Sober conducted a three day fellowship event on Pride Weekend in New York - including a cruise on Pride Sunday. Under the direction of Christian P., Keith B., David C., and Jackson S., Queer & Sober operated from 2011 through 2013. In July of 2013, Queer & Sober closed, but the tradition of something wonderful on Pride Weekend was in full swing. In October of 2014, the men's event Hot 'n Dry in Palm Springs announced that it would hold it's farewell convention in September of 2015. Christian being an admin of the of the Facebook group saw a unique opportunity to launch a new, reimagined adventure. In June of 2015, the members of Gay & Sober Men's Facebook group voted almost unanimously to meet face to face at it's very first conference. Where and when was the next big question. Destination cities like Philadelphia, Washington DC, and New York immediately came to mind. In January of 2016, the group voted and announced that it would hold the conference in New York City and it would coincide with Pride Weekend. In March of 2016, Jerry X. from the Big Apple Roundup announced on Facebook that after 30 years on Thanksgiving Weekend, the Big Apple Roundup would be moving from Thanksgiving weekend to Pride Weekend.

As such, the AA meeting at the Gay & Sober Conference makes Special Contributions annually to support the work of Alcoholics Anonymous. Questions concerning our financial support can be directed to the Alcoholics Anonymous Contributions Department at 212-870-3400. The same can be said for Crystal Meth Anonymous World Services.
Big Apple Roundup is listed by AA as holding bi-weekly meetings at 208 W 13th St on the 1st Thursday and 3rd Sunday of every month.

A directory listing does not imply approval or endorsement of any group’s approach to or practice of the traditional AA program. The last Big Apple Roundup event was in June of 2019. It has since dissolved
