Dialogai is Geneva's gay association and has been running since 1982. Its centre is in the Pâquis, a few minutes from the station, with the entrance on rue du Levant rather than on the address it publishes. It is the first place most people are pointed to if they want to meet anyone in the city outside a bar.
Checkpoint Genève works out of the same building: testing and advice on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, vaccination, PEP, addiction counselling and a psychological consultation. It was among the first health centres in Europe built specifically around gay and bisexual men, and it now also sees women who have sex with women. A mobile version of the service visits the city's saunas and cruising clubs. The building also houses Le Refuge Genève, which supports LGBTIQ+ young people in difficulty.
The rest of the programme is social and runs on a published agenda: a hiking group, a choir, yoga, tango, a film club, inclusive theatre, workshops and conferences.
