Comment by Redhead on December 17, 2008 at 5:45pm: We'll be visiting Albuquerque in May, 2009, because we'll be relocating there in a few years. We're social nudists, selective swingers and left of center in our political beliefs. We enjoy biking, erotic digital photography, volunteer work and much more.

We’ll be visiting New Mexico this next May (2009) and we have lots of questions since we’re planning on relocating there in a few years. We’d appreciate any responses from anyone that has any suggestions for us...

Some of our questions...

-What are the politically progessive/radical groups in Albuquerque?
-Are there any places where we could enjoy some time being nude in the sun without offending others?
-If any of you are familiar with Albuquerque---are there areas that we should really avoid in terms of housing possibilities?
-Does anyone know of any local clubs, groups or organizations that might be related to swinging?

BTW--we both are strong supporters of LGBT rights for a number of reasons and one of us is bi.

If you have a news story, event announcement or recap, a piece of GLBTQ fiction or other story to share with New Mexico’s GLBTQ community we would love to include it in the December issue of the SW LGBT Press Online.

Please email any submissions to submissions@nhcv.org by 5:00 PM on Friday December 5th. The December issue will be available online Monday December 8th.

Southwest LGBT Press Online is updated as needed during the month and is always available at www.nhcv.org by clicking on the SW LGBT Press logo.

Thank you for your continued support of the Southwest LGBT Press and Normal Heart Community Ventures.

Comment by JR Ramirez on October 28, 2008 at 10:49am: Hello hello, there are many things I miss about Albuquerque, most of which are the amazing friendships I made. I've been living in California for about 7 years now but I always go back and visit NM when I get a chance. I'm glad this group is in existence, so I may keep tabs on what my brothers and sisters are up to back in the 505.
