Tucson Prime Timers (TPT) is a social organization for mature gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals who self-identify as male and are over the age of 21. It was officially created in August 1993. TPT was established to create opportunities for social connection, education, and recreation within a supportive environment. The organization serves as a space for community building and social engagement.

TPT fosters positive community in part by organizing regular events such as lunches, trips, and movie nights. They also sponsor interest-based club gatherings, including Book Clubs and a Garden Club. One of their primary methods of communicating with members is through the distribution of a monthly newsletters.
