pdx autostraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoHello everybody! :) I am currently living in Fairbanks, AK, but I’m going to be moving to Portland in the fall for college. Hopefully it’ll be a lot queerer of a place to live than where I am now.
-
Also, if anyone wants to give me tips on where all the ladygays hang out, I would be eternally grateful (or at least buy them a coffee).
-
WE’RE EVERYWHERE HERE!
Where are you going to go to school?
-
I’m going to PSU, hopefully. Still haven’t received my acceptance letter!
I’ve heard about The Escape. It sounded interesting, but also like it catered to a really young crowd.
-
The Escape is fairly sketch and recently a lot of straight guys have been hanging out there. Straight people are enjoying going there and I don’t know why because it’s a really, really gay club. But the drag show is always so good there.
I’d say the 17-20 crowd hangs there a lot.

How old are you? If you’re under 21 there’s not a lot of nightlife stuff open to you (unless you have a fake ID), but you can definitely find queer ladies at events around town, and all over PSU for sure. Get involved with the Women’s Resource Center and Queer Resource Center on campus. I graduated a year and a half ago but 95% of the people I…[Read more]

I’ll only be 18, so that kind of sucks. I’m glad to hear that PSU has a queer presence. I assumed so, because it’s Portland, after all, but I’m glad I got a confirmation.
I’ll definitely check those groups out. They sound like they could be fun.

Straddlers on Coming Out 11 years, 9 months ago
Okay, so I shouldn’t be this scared coming out on freaking Autostraddle but I am because…I am bisexual, and I’m sort of concerned I’m going to be on the receiving end of “why are you trying to come out as bi on a LESBIAN website?” biphobia. Anyway, I’ve made some tiny coming out baby steps last year (working it in to relative conversations with…[Read more]

You should just go to a meeting, even if you don’t have much to say and it’s awkward at first. What’s to lose? Don’t feel out of place or like you don’t belong because you’re bi–I’ve been out as bi for 10 yrs now (I’m 26) and I know that even when I’m with a straight boyfriend, my life and experiences are still different from a straight person’s…[Read more]

I went to PFLAG meetings at university because I felt I needed gay identity and to know other gay people. They were so friendly, welcoming, and nice. So did you end up going to any meetings?
-
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.
I’ve gotten…[Read more]

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]

I know that I’m gay, but I’ve been sexually involved with men, and I’m even hetero-married though we have been separated from some time. I am saving up for a divorce, we are on speaking terms and right now $300 to drop on divorce forms at LegalZoom seems so postponable. If there was like, a negative star lesbian rating to give me, I’d get it. I’ve…[Read more]

Hey, I’d say that you have permission to call yourself a lesbian lesbian if you feel like one. You don’t have to apologize for a heterosexual past. Sexuality is more convoluted than a lot of people think, and there are many people (myself included) who feel that they are no longer comfortable in their assumed sexual identity and need a new “label”…[Read more]

Wow, thanks for that reply. I like the ‘future intentions’ way of looking at identity. Coolness! Now I can skip off into the sunset! And thanks again!
