so question for you guys. i’m considering joining the LGBTQ group on my campus but main reason i didn’t last year when i first moved was because i was afraid i’d end up hanging out with students in my classes. is that ridiculous? i guess i’m worried about maintaining some level of professionalism since i have to teach, but now i just want to hang…[Read more]

I don’t have an answer… I would just like to say that I’m going through the exact same thing right now.
-
I think this is going to happen to me too.
-
Is there no grad student queer org? (start one?) Also, you could volunteer at a local queer org and meet people off campus that way!
-
I’ve kinda established myself as a grad student in the group and don’t hang out with the members much outside of GSA stuff (with the exception of a few – who actually are mostly other grads). As fairly knowledgeable about queer academics – which very few others in my group are b/c their isnt much of a gender/women’s/queer studies program here -…[Read more]

That’s neat. I feel like I’m not knowledgeable enough to be an advisor! But I can definitely be (or rather, I guess I already am) a nerdy queer in the corner :D I emailed the group and apparently they don’t have meetings or anything, just random events scattered around the year, so we’ll see how it goes.
-
Good luck! Hope you are able to find a comfortable way to negotiate your place in the group.

Thanks :)

I hear there’s some sort of Selena monument. Does that count?
-
no. she’s dead. :|

Much like Corpus. The Hidden Door’s ok, and tends to be packed full on the weekends.

There’s a good chance I’ll be moving to Corpus in the near future (around April-ish), I’m optimistic that the scene will be decent. Am I being unrealistic?
-
mmmm, there’s a lot of gayz here, yes, but I usually hang around the college kids and also do a lot of activism work and find that to be the fun stuff and also, i’m kind of lame. but there are also clubs and bars and poetry slams. TELL ME IF YOU COME, WE COULD BE FRANZ.
-
that all sounds fabs, I’ll definitely keep you updated!

Autostraddle Over 30 12 years, 1 month agoWere you a “late bloomer”? Did you come out on your late 20s? Did you go through adolescence again?
I did. Nowadays people are coming out younger and younger but we didn’t have Glee and Pretty Little Liars back then…-
I’m 31 now and I came out when I was 16, in 1997. I don’t really know why I felt ok about coming out. The situation with my family was definitely not ok.
I had two gay guy friends and then I met this woman who I was attracted to in a way I never felt before & she was a lesbian and…
I guess I’ve always been stubborn and determined to “be true…[Read more] -
Did you always “know,” deep down, that you liked the ladies, and just denied it to yourself? Or did you first feel attracted to women when you reached your late twenties? (I’m not judging! I’m just curious and making conversation and stuff.)
-
Now that I look back I realize that I had crushes on girls but back in the day I thought it was perfectly normal to feel so protective of my best friend. That’s what friendship is! Yeah, right. I was totally in love with girls, I just didn’t know it.
