UK and Ireland Straddlers 11 years, 11 months ago
Hey, anyone from Cambridge here? I’ve been living here since a month and I don’t know anyone outside of work. Also, since I’ve only just realised I’m gay, like, yesterday, I totally need to find people of the same persuasion ;).
I’m from Cambridge!!
me three. Maybe there could be actually enough people for a cambridge meetup?
That would be so cool. How many people are enough? So that it’s not too awkward, initally :). I’m all for it.
I dunnoo but really when I say I’m from Cambridge I mean really I’m moving back to London in like 3 days for Uni sooo do not count on my presence.
HOWEVER since all the lesbians are smart and awesome and Cambridge is smart and awesome and and autostraddle attracts smart and awesome I feel there should be an abundance of (smart and awesome) autostraddlers from Cambridge?!
Oh, damn. It would make total sense if there were lots of Cambridge-Straddlers. Hope they will turn up here, because I don’t know if there’s any place in the city where they flock to IRL. Granted, we have a vegetarian/vegan place called The Rainbow Cafe here, but that seems a little to obvious ;).
They’re everywhere. Seriously! I would suggest sitting on the wall oustide King’s on a sunny autumn afternoon and just people watching.
There are lots of lesbians at my gym (Greens). Gay ladies everywhere! Ok maybe I’m exaggerating haha :)
The Rainbow Cafe is good though :) Also there’s a cute cafe called Indigo nearby, go there :) And also The Cow (pub). And also Clowns cos it’s cheap and you might just see Lily Cole chillaxin’.
Also there is The Dot Cotton Club at the Junction, I have no idea how often it is, but the facebook page is here and it looks like it’s on this Sat:

Apart from that, maybe go all stereotypical: join a feminist book club, a women’s rugby club, a football club etc!??
I have seen a few lesbians while strolling through town, but always in couples. Well, probably mainly because my gaydar isn’t very well calibrated yet, especially since british girls are overall a little different from the german girls I’m used to ;).
Thanks for the tips, I might check the places out :). I actually found the Dot Cotton Club online at some point, but then I forgot about it. I hope I can still get a ticket, it sounds like fun.
I’m from Cambridge, and my parents and all my stuff still lives there so if people were doing a meetup I would totally come, because I swear this gay women in Cambridge is a myth or something because I’ve never been able to find people
I used to live in Cambridgeshire but have moved to Leicestershire for university, however I’d go to a Cambridge Autostraddle meetup on the train =)
This is super late, but I just moved to the Cambridge area and kind of in the same boat as you :)
Damn, that is really late, I’m leaving for Germany on Wednesday. I’ll be back in October… I hope you have a good time here :).
