watch hilarious videos online, and want to know more information.
I might be the only single lesbian in the east midlands. It feels that way… where are you all hiding, I’m not good at hide and seek
Hi, new to Grindr, however, all the guys seem to be over 250km away. Close to Manchester so find this very, very odd. Anyone else having the same issue?
Hi there!
I was wondering if anyone knows when the dates for the London pride parade are usually announced during the year? Might have two jobs clashing at the time and need to know when to start keeping my eyes peeled for announcements…
Thanks!
Hello any lesbians in the south preferably Hampshire
The rules say nothing about this so im gonna post. I'm 16 (mtf) in rhe west Midlands looking for friends or a community that I can meet with around shrewsbury. Please dm if you have any time or a small group to meet up.
Had a one night stand with a girl from a lesbian club event in April, it wasn’t bad at all, we did have a date in the end but we were looking for different things. Now I’m really really anxious about bumping into her again at any lesbian events given the small community despite being in London that I’ve stopped going to all of them for months. I’ve even avoided going to the tube station close to her place just out of the fear of bumping in to her. I literally have no bad blood against her but it’s just not a situation that I want to be in.
It’s a very ridiculous reason I know :( hence looking for tips on how to get over the anxiety/what to do if I do bump into her again when I do eventually start going again! Or if anyone has been in a similar situation and how did you deal with it!
I have a very avoidant personality hence the amount of anxiety this is giving me is literally going through the roof.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to update you all—I’ve found someone to join me for the Heartstopper Season 3 screening in London at Picturehouse Central on 2nd October, thanks to my previous post here! 🌈
Thank you to everyone who showed interest, I really appreciate it! 😊
Out of curiosity, who else here is going to the event? It’d be awesome to know and maybe connect with other Heartstopper fans attending!
Looking forward to it! ❤️
Sup, been out of the relationships scene for a while now. Had a bad breakup pre COVID and life has been a mess since.
I'd like to give it a shot again now that my life is in a better place, but the scene is kinda dead in my small town. All the social spaces have closed down and the pubs aren't my style.
My only experience is with tinder back in college, and Grindr about a year ago. Both were too hookup centric for an average person like me. Are there any good dating apps for LGBT folks?
I'm not too fussed about the other person being LGBT, but it would be preferable that they knew I was and anyone not ok with that could just filter me out.
Hi, I'm an 18 year old transgirl and I have no friends. I recently moved to Newcastle from the countryside and have been able to start transitioning but I'm extremely lonely. My uni dosent offer anything in the form of socialising events or clubs or anything and I haven't been able to find any lgbt groups via Google, anyone know any?
Anyone north or north of the wall interested in making new friends? Winter is coming.
I'm an American gay man who is hoping to travel to the UK, specifically Scotland within the next year or two. I'd love to get recommendations from folks regarding where to go and what to do, and if maybe anyone knows of Telegram or WhatsApp groups I could join to make friends ahead of time, so I'm not completely alone when I get there. I hope this post is okay. Please delete if it's not.
I am in 30s and a bit out of shape but love to get shirtless among other shirtless guys! I will be in London this Friday/Saturday. Where would be good clubs to go to where I can strip off and have a good time without feeling self-conscious?
Gay guy in London, older but well balanced, I hope, looking to chat ...
Any bi or gay guys from Scotland up for chatting 🩷💜💙
Hi Friends -
I’m American. More specifically - I’m an American lesbian who has recently come out at 29.
My previous partner was English and there’s parts of our relationship I really miss and I’m worried I’ll never have them again with a woman.
Seeking:
Watching Taskmaster, Gavin and Stacy, and various other shows together.
In-laws that love the holidays and spend them getting absolutely blasted together.
Alright the list is quite short but I guess that’s all I’m really requiring at this moment.
I'm a 24 year old, transgender women, all my teenage years up until now I have had a mental block of some sort, I feel like nobody wants to get to know me, or be close to me. My only friend is my bf, and he needs to leave for work for quite some time. I study at college and feel nobody understands me, or wants to get to know me, and at work aswell. I feel like a freak, like something is wrong with me. I know how to socialise, but making a deep enough connection with someone to actually want to do stuff together has never happened since I was very young. Idk if anyone experiences anything like this, just sorta sick of the isolation
Putting this questionnaire out there on behalf of the LGBTQIA+ group I run on a Monday night. Even if you do not/previously have not attended your feedback is still wanted 🙂 I am trans myself so would really appreciate some ideas/ feedback

Hi all. I’m a closeted Arab guy (M21) on his last year of university. I moved from North Africa when I was 18 to study Finance in London (not my choice but that was the only major I could do in order for my parents to feel convinced to invest their money into me and fund my tuition and me moving aboard to escape home and be free as a gay man- originally im very good at painting and wanted to pursue design or fine art not finance).
I struggle a lot with depression, sexuality and self image due to being closeted and nurtured in an environment that taught me being gay is wrong and is against nature/religion. I moved to London with the hope that I will be free and happy- but fell into deep depression cause I was pursuing a hard major that I had zero interest in what so ever in order to escape. I felt very lost and hopeless- I also came across many homophobic people living in London which made my progress with sexuality go down hill. In those 3 years, I made no friends and felt very lonely- I made zero development as a person or what I wanted to pursue because I felt deeply demotivated and depressed. I tried to get a therapist to help me but as a broke uni student I couldn’t afford it. It’s now my last year as a student and I need to act very fast in order to figure something so I can continue living here since back home will destroy me as a person. In order to do that I need to seek professional help that could help me mentally and keep me motivated so I don’t mess up on my last year before my visa ends and I get sent back home. I need to achieve really good grades so I can get a job after I graduate (a job is very difficult to get as an international student- let alone if I get bad grades it will be impossible) Does anyone recommend any professional help (therapy) in the UK that is cheap/ free that I could use?
And if anyone has any recommendations of what I could do please let me know!
Did you grow up watching films like Kissing Jessica Stein, Lost and Delirious and Imagine Me and You? Did you sign the petitions when Tara, Lexa and Villanelle were killed off?
WE DID!
We are a group of queer filmmakers who met on the sets of the biggest productions in the UK. In January, we are shooting a film that is a homage to all the cliches queer cinema and characters fall victim to - The Gay Best Friend, the predatory lesbian, Bury Your Gays... the list goes on.
So what is my call to action? At this stage we are building a community who can support our film from prep to screenings. We need subscribers to our website/updates, and people who wouldn’t mind sharing our crowd fund campaign when it launches next month.
Want to get involved, even join us on set? We need you! Visit our website. https://www.buryyourgaysfilm.com
(Thanks in advance - there really is no better community than the LGBTQIA+)
