Most people know through my postings that I get out semi-regularly (usually on my own, I seldom go out in large groups). Generally I attend LGBTQ events, but more recently I have been getting out in the general public (with plenty of prodding from Kandi). I like attending lectures and cultural events and have not had a bad experience. Living near Washington DC, I have access to the Smithsonian and many other interesting venues (Universities etc) that are all welcoming.
