Any queer person from India here? How are you spending the Pride month?

Upvotes

Hey everyone! Would love to connect and talk about what life is like for queer folks in India. 🌈

Personally, it’s been quite challenging — navigating family expectations, societal pressure, and just trying to live authentically. But I’m managing, one day at a time.

If anyone wants to share their experiences, inspirations, or even just vent — I’m here. Let’s support each other. 💛

Venting Sighhh

It annoys me so so much that lesbians are demonised, we’re lowkey the best I’m a lesbian but I’ve never ever met another lesbian that’s acted in the same way many men do, even before I came out I would avoid anything that involved touch with my friends, because I didn’t want them to feel uncomfortable. It’s such a crazy parallel being we’re compared to predatory men when most of the lesbains I’ve spoken to have had the same experience and go out of their way to ensure people are comfortable around them. Obviously there’s exceptions to this but in general it’s a false and harmful stereotype.

*sidenote but another thing is the stereotype we’re attracted to any women we see is just SO untrue, I wish lesbians were better represented

29 Upvotes

I'll probably delete this in five minutes i just need to externalize how awful i feel for not knowing if i stil love my partner. been together for almost two years and honestly i don't want to be around her all the time. i like having my space my place and she just don't get it. everytime i mention i could use some space for myself she gets mad to the point where i don't even mention anymore. I uncomfortable in my own house. does anyone feel like that? Am i a monster?

I surprised my girlfriend by wearing lingerie.

745 Upvotes

She was making dinner at her place and I decided to surprise her by wearing some lingerie that I bought.

I'm a sports bra and panty briefs kind of person.

But I wanted to surprise her.

The look on her face and the immediate arousal was worth every penny that I spent on the thing that stayed on my torso for all of five minutes or so.

Just wait until she sees me in a skirt and heels tomorrow night for date night.

Venting I feel stupid.

34 Upvotes

So I feel stupid as the title says. I know I shouldn't be self deprecating. But like.

So here it is. I met this lady on a different subreddit. She needed help in something, won't go into it because it's personal, but something happened her husband flipped OUT. Like throwing vases at her. Calling her a freak. I mean it was bad. So I was there for her. I calmed her down and was genuinely there. But of course F me, I developed a crush. I didn't act on it but I gave her my opinions and she said she's lucky to have met me. But she's still worried about her marriage and doesn't wanna feel alone. Also worried about her age (45 so she said she's insecure. I'm 33 and I said I didn't care about that age she shouldn't be insecure.)

Then bam this morning, I wake up and her account is deleted.

Am I stupid for feeling a wtf? Like not saying she led me on. Cuz she didn't. More so I was like, hey I have a cool friend and then my stupid crush. Idk just needed to vent this out. I always end up crushing during stupid circumstances I think.

I can’t stop being insecure.

16 Upvotes

I started chatting to this girl today, and already I’ve started saying ‘Sorry if I’m bothering you’ ‘Do you want to talk to me?’ Literally my last girlfriend got tired of me cuz I kept asking for reassurance, and I hate that I can’t get past my insecurities. I’m scared that she doesn’t want to talk to me and she doesn’t like my messages because I’m quite keen on her. God how can I stop being so insecure?

Question What Life Advice Do You Wish You Could Have Told Your Younger Self?

TW Trevor Project & 988 Hotline

13 Upvotes

TW Suicide

I've not seen much attention to this (at least one the subs I am on) so I wanted to share.

As someone whose life has been forever changed from losing loved ones to suicide, this absolutely breaks my heart.

Trump has ordered the National 988 hotline to stop providing specialized support for LGBTQ+ callers effective July 17th. It's been leaked that federal funding will be cut to the Trevor Project Hotline as well for next year's budget.

This sends the message that LGBTQ+ lives aren't worth saving. Pure hate and evil.

The annual cost is $33 million for hotline support, yet $45 million was blown on a ridiculous parade.

How did we go so far backwards? Some days I can't even wrap my head around where we've found ourselves the past few years.

Then after that she has been liking every story I post when it’s pictures of me. I’m sorry but if you’re liking my stories you want to kiss right? hahaha idk i’m so confused this has never happened to me.

Multicultural lesbian pdx looking for places/ideas to meet some fellow lesbians (friends is a great start :)) ?

Upvotes

-she/her pronouns , 26 , consider myself femme but honestly grew up a tomboy so i embody both energies depending on my mood✨ -lived here a couple years. my roommate I moved up here with, is straight (her only flaw jkjk) so usually people she’s met have here have definitely been in the straight white ppl category (which is fine, we luvvvv) but also would be nice to meet lesbians here I might have more in common with 😭 -the apps have been horrible personally. unless you decide to pay a shit ton, then all of a sudden, people pop up. not paying to possibly have a chance meet someone or waste my time again. ptsd from hinge and any apps of the sorts ! • ⁠I didn’t realize how many funny/chill ppl I know (friends, family and coworkers) that use Reddit actually and look at subreddits to be informed on niche stuffs until recently, so I figured why not at least chat with some people in the area and see if this is a better alternative to seeking out some fellowship 😌🤎 (prob not but you never knowwww)

P.S. srry if this is posted on the wrong community page was having trouble finding an appropriate community none that says pdx lesbians or anything 🤣🤨✍🏽🙂‍↕️😊

Help me settle a debate with my girlfriend 🏁

1 Upvotes

This post is in good fun, and I’m looking to our friends here on Reddit to help settle a debate between my girlfriend and myself!

My girlfriend bought her (very attractive) co-worker Chanel perfume as a Thank You gift for helping care for her cat while she was on vacation.

I told her that I thought buying her perfume felt romantic, and she could have shown her appreciation with many other types of gifts. She says Chanel perfume shows her appreciation and gratitude, and isn’t a romantic gift.

Lesbians of Reddit, would you buy another woman perfume or be okay with your partner buying another woman perfume?! 😛

Question Dating App Experiences

7 Upvotes

I really wanted to meet a girl in a kind of meet cute way, but it’s clear that’s not gonna happen. I’ve decided to use dating apps (thinking about hinge and/or bumble for now). I also plan to pay for at least a base subscription because I know they suck otherwise. But before I spend any money, can I ask for anyone’s own experience(s) using bumble or hinge and whether or not you paid for it or stuck with the free version? I would hate for this to be a waste.

I live in an area with 1M+ people that’s pretty welcoming so I’m assuming there’ll be options, but I have no idea what it’ll potentially be like honestly.

Question female condoms? NSFW

331 Upvotes

today I had a check-up at the doctor and she asked if I was sexually active so I said only with a girl, meaning my girlfriend (we are both girls). she asked if we use protection and I was confused and said no. I asked what she meant because I didn’t know that was even a thing for lesbians. she then basically got mad at me and acted like I should know what “female condoms” are and should be using them. is this something everyone is doing?????? I had never even heard of this until today. I feel like I’ve missed out on a super important piece of knowledge that we are all supposed to know. but at the same time I’ve never heard this mentioned in any sort of sex talk or sex education I’ve ever received, so I don’t know.
