    It also energizes the GOP, especially those that weren’t particularly wild about Romney. They might go out and vote for the Romneybot when they wouldn’t have made the effort otherwise because they’d hate to see […]

    I know women who are about ten to fifteen years older than me through political groups. I go to a queer friendly campus but I only know gay men, no lesbians. I know it’s about making yourself visible but I’m not visible AT ALL.

      Possibly visibility ties back into the description for this group – shy… anyone know ways to break this bubble??

      I’m kinda in the same boat, never had a girlfriend and can’t seem to find any queer women in my city! The few I do manage to find are always either just passing through or in very committed LTRs =\

    Oh man, I’ve been there. I went to a Catholic high school (I didn’t even THINK about coming out there) and now I’m at a historically Catholic college within a secular university where a lot of the people are still Catholic or were at least raised that way.

    I’ll be interning at the Senate from late June to the beginning of September, so I’m looking to meet people too. I have friends who live or have lived in Ottawa, and in addition to museums, galleries and history, there are apparently a ton of summer festivals (including Capital Pride).

      Capital Pride could be fun. Too bad it’s not until later in the summer (I’m only here through til Canada Day). I’ve seen a museum/Gallery almost every weekend since I got here though. Good luck with the internship!

    I went to the drop-in centre at my school a couple of times. Even though no one knew how I identified (because no one can really ask), it was awkward because people seemed to know each other and I was out of place. I’m hoping to go to queer orientation week next year, which I was too afraid/discouraged by rain to attend this year.

      How about meeting girls online for dates or for friendship only? Sometimes I meet lesbian couples for friendship and maybe they can introduce me to their single friends; plus I get to know more queer people. I belonged to several dating sites before I met my wife. I just looked up to see if there were lots of girls who like girls in Toronto or…[Read more]
