From the group of friends mostly in Northern California "The Posse" was formed. Now, other Posses are springin' up around the country. Posse-folk have no leaders, no bylaws, and no organization. Whut keeps us together is our friendship, and we are committed to extend that to all folks who, like us, are just finding out that there are normal guys out there who don't fit the stereotype. Consider this your invitation to contact the posse nearest you. All the folks listed have volunteered and are committed to show folks the sorta help and friendship we all wished we had afore we found our posse.

The Appalachian Posse has been going strong for a few years now. Ben keeps the ball rolling and the group has quite a few activities that they participate in. For now, we are mostly centered around the Blacksburg, VA area.

We refuse to ascribe to the stereotypical gay image and are looking for friends who feel and act the same. Our plans are for rodeos, hockey games in Roanoke, hiking, antique auctions, a trip to Gatlinburg to stay in Tim’s condo, car shows, working on Gino and Kenny’s house, and to have lots of fun, friendship, and fellowship. Not out? That’s OK. We’ll look after you and respect your privacy. Trust me, you can’t do it by yourself. So, give us a mail. The App. Posse would be glad to have ya!! American by birth. Southern by the grace of God! To contact the Appalachian Posse, view the Official Appalachian Posse

The grandaddy of all posses, our members are mainly in Northern California, but we have folks from Yreka all the way down to San Diego. We have a full schedule, and get together often, sometimes at a rodeo, sometimes to help out on a bud's ranch, or just for a coupla brewskies at a local watering hole. These are the folks you'll see most often in the newspage archives. To hook up with the Far West Posse, email Wolf at: RuffStock@crotalus.com or take a look at the Official Far West Posse Site .

The Mid-South Posse is a group of guys best described as good ole boys! We are all clean cut hard working guys that don't mind getting a little dirt under our finger nails. For us its just business as usual and life goes on, just as it would if we were not gay. If your a little rough around the edges, that's all the better. If you don't mind a little chaw juice, you'll fit right in. The Mid-South Posse's Website is at http://www.geocities.com/midsouthposse/index.htm

Because of the size of the state, the Texas folks have decided to split up into three Posses. Mike, of the South Texas Posse, has volunteered to coordinate between them, but feel free to contact the Posse nearest you, or all three! They all share the same website, Texas Posse Central . Check it out! Our thanks to Blaine and Scott for hosting this page.

Mike and Mark are a committed, monogamous couple in the Houston area, and they're the coordinators for the South Texas Posse. Mike's starting out in PRCA team roping, and Mark likes to restore old cars. They've been joined by Joe and Jeff, Lance and Robert, and more are joining up all the time. This is probably the fastest-growing Posse of the bunch. They're looking to meet other regular guys who've got common interests, so if yer a cowboy in the Houston area or thereabouts or just a regular country-type who just happens to like guys, drop 'em a line! Contact the Texas Posse by emailing Mike at texasposse@hushmail.com or check out their website at http://www.powerbear.com/texasposse/east/

Covering North Texas and some of southern Oklahoma, the North Texas Posse started out with Jimbo and Gary Lee, Pokey, Mac, and Blaine and Scott, and they've already been joined by several others. Mac is coordinator. We're looking forward to a lotta news from this bunch! Contact the North Texas Posse by emailing Mac at NorthTexasPosse@hushmail.com , or check their webpage at http://www.powerbear.com/texasposse/north/ .

The new West Texas Posse covers the western part of the state, from the Big Bend and El Paso all the way up to Amarillo, Dumas, and Shamrock in the Panhandle. It sounds like quite a project to get men together in this huge area of ranches and oil fields, but they've always done a pretty good job of gettin' together anyway! Stepping up to coordinate this new posse addition is Bob, a down to earth, fun loving cowboy from Far West Texas. You can get in touch with him, and the West Texas Posse, at cowboyfwt@hushmail.com .
