About
Fellowship of Older Gays, known as FOG, is a California mutual benefit corporation providing social activities, emotional support and education for older gay men. It has been running since 1993. Its own description of its purpose is plain: the primary focus is weekly activities for members.
The regular calendar is Wednesday Coffee and Saturday Coffee, both 10am to noon, every week. Monthly there is Breakfast Out with Older Guys on the first Thursday, Dine Out with Guys on the third Thursday, Walk and Talk on the third Monday, and a lunch that moves around. Some events are in person and some are on Zoom. The annual membership meeting and banquet is the first Thursday in October, and the holiday potluck is the third Saturday in December. FOG also turns up at San Diego Pride and the Big Gay Picnic in Balboa Park.
This is a membership club, not a care provider and not a drop-in center. It is for older gay men specifically, which is worth knowing before you point a relative at it. Membership details and current dues are on the Join or Renew page, and the board meets on the second Saturday of the month.
For anyone weighing up whether a social group belongs in a directory about care: isolation is not a soft problem in later life. A standing Wednesday morning that somebody notices you missed is a practical form of support, and for an older gay man with no adult children nearby it may be the most reliable one available.

Questions to ask
5 things worth asking before you decide, chosen because the public record does not answer them. A blank means nobody has published the answer, not that the answer is bad.
- Can a same-sex couple share a room or an apartment, on the same terms as any other couple, at every level of care you offer?
- Do you have a written nondiscrimination policy that names sexual orientation and gender identity? Can I have a copy?
- How do staff handle personal care for a trans resident, including who provides it, how a body that does not match expectations is treated, and how hormone therapy continues?
