Fusion
is
a group of young gay and bisexual men dedicated to building a
better and stronger community for themselves and their friends in
the Mobile area. Although Fusion targets men between the ages of
18 and 30, we welcome anyone who is interested in reach our goals.
Fusion's goals are two-fold, first to provide a social environment
