Political Straddlers 12 years, 4 months agoOkay, I know I said I didn’t want to talk about the election, but this is actually kind of interesting: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2011-06-14/gop-debate-shows-partys-shallowness-on-domestic-foreign-policy/?cid=hp:mainpromo2
I mean, I know it’s obviously because the Republicans are just saying “no” to whatever Obama says “yes”…[Read more]

I’m openly/obviously gay and have been all of my life…so I should be comfortable around lesbians. But I’m not. I’m not shy around anyone else, strangers love me, I have a pretty strong social net of straight people, my family and I are very close. I just seem to repel other lesbians. What am I doing wrong?
-
The possibility of romantic or sexual interest makes you nervous?
-
Nope. I wish it was that simple. I’ve only really liked two lesbians, romantically/sexually. Both times I felt as comfortable with them as I do with all of my straight friends. It was easy, like we were already connected. We’re still friends, but we live in different cities.
Most of the time, when I meet other lesbians, I’m not even…[Read more]

Personally, the higher the stakes, the harder it is for me. The more I like someone and want to impress them, the less impressive I am because I clam up! It’s a curse. So whether it’s my boss, a beautiful girl or someone who I think is much cooler/smarter/more interesting than me, I struggle. When I don’t care about someone’s opinion, I am able to…[Read more]
-
I can see how that logic might come into play, but that’s not me. I’m pretty much the same person to everyone I meet. I’m weird in that I really like me, I’d totally hang out with me. I’m pretty sure other people will like me too, it’s just a matter of meeting them. Besides, at my age, I don’t place too much value on relationships that haven’t…[Read more]

If there was ever a group for me to join! Lately, my anxiety has made work weird. (I’ve worked here about 2 months. New city, new state… moved here for job.) I know these (straight) girls at work think I hate them, and I don’t, I just don’t want to go to bars with them because as the group states, I experience CRIPPLING SOCIAL ANXIETY and especia…[Read more]

i’m glad you feel better having said it. sometimes we just need to rant at the universe and it makes things better. :)

good on you, muffin. keep on keeping on and do what you can.

I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time of it. You have endure a lot with moving to a new city, etc. I can clearly see why these things can up your anxiety. I don’t think the girl should have said, ” We think you hate us.” Just because your not interested in going to a bar doesn’t mean you dislike the person that asked, sometimes…[Read more]

Political Straddlers 12 years, 4 months agoAnyone want to talk about something else besides the US presidential election? Who here thinks John Boehner looks like a giant pumpkin? Okay, maybe not that, I’m just desperate to talk about something else, the idea of any of those people defeating Barack is depressing me. Someone suggest a topic?

Iceland. Seriously. If it wasn’t far too cold I would want to move there, politically speaking it sounds like heaven on earth. The Prime Minister of Iceland, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, a happily gay married woman and proud feminist recently said “The Nordic countries are leading the way on women’s equality, recognizing women as equal citizens ra…[Read more]
-
For me, it’s not the cold (I can deal with cold, it’s really hot summers – like the ones we have here in Baltimore – that I can’t fucking stand) but it’s the lack of large cities and the geographic isolation. I’m a city mouse, I need to be near things! But other than that, Iceland sounds like paradise.
-
I’m from the tropics. It hit 12’C last week and we all froze. At least hot summers mean lots of time on the water and at the beach.
Here politics are crazy, the “Liberal” party is socially conservative and the leader a misogynistic Catholic. The Labor party (spelt the American way for kicks) is holding onto its government with the aid of the…[Read more]

Yeah, I know Baltimore is not really that hot by a lot of people’s standards, but I’m from Detroit – I’m used to summers where, while super-humid, it rarely goes above 100 F. My first summer here was last year, and there were weeks where it never went below 90. And my parents’ house (thank god I have my own apartment now) didn’t have central…[Read more]

I am focused on the 2011 gubernatorial races! Exciting times! I am biased because I am currently working on one of them. Which? I will never tell! I do try to keep up with what Congress is doing and, you know, actual governing, but I mostly just like electoral politics. I think the entrenched Dems vs. Repubs mentality is everything that’s wrong…[Read more]
-
I’m a Democrat though personally I feel like I am too liberal for them and wished there was a viable party that better matched my views. I much prefer multi-party to two-party systems. Regardless, I get what you mean about how the system is fun in a kind of crazy, dramatic way. Electoral politics has a very high-school-drama-ish feel sometimes.
-
Yeah, I am definitely more liberal than Democrats. Especially in any of the damn states with 2011 governor’s races! That’s part of why the system is so flawed — it’s better to vote in lockstep with something you only marginally agree with in order to block the thing you definitely don’t agree with. There’s no point in even trying to get what you…[Read more]

Yeah I currently live in Maryland and I like Governor O’Malley, but I’m from Michigan originally and I’m so angry at the doucheface that they elected this year. He is a teacher-hater and the only reason he doesn’t get more attention is because Wisconsin is soaking up all the attention in that region as far as crazy teacher-hating governors go.…[Read more]

Okay, I need to shake off this crippling shyness ASAP and find some local gay friends because I want to go to a Pride Festival and how sad and pathetic would I be just wandering around on my lonesome, unable to really feel like I’m a part of the festival since I won’t know a single soul. :( I am sick of feeling so isolated.
-
I bet you could find a group that’s going to and insert yourself into it somehow. There’s got to be an online community or group organizing or partaking. Not sure how big your city is. But even if you break off with them because you’re not meshing or your uncomfortable, at least you gave it a go.
-
My biggest problem is that I live in a small town (seriously small, only about 250 people) and the nearest big city with any sort of gay community is almost an hour away, so making friends there is doubly hard. Going through the online groups is a great suggestion. Thanks!
-
-
See, this is a solution that might work for me. I do have straight friends who would probably go with me, and I think any awkwardness would be worth it as long as I wasn’t all alone in a big crowd (it makes my stomach knot up just to think about it). That’s awesome about the drag queens at the Colosseum — sounds like a fun time!! :D
-
Maybe I’m weird, but I totes would have grabbed one of those flyers and made it into a souvenir. :p
-
i went to my first pride parade last year with a straight friend. her brother is gay. it was not weird at all.
just find a friend and ask them to go with. it’s a road trip, a parade, glitter, rainbows, and omg GAY PEOPLE! it’s so very nice and life affirming.

TexaStraddle 12 years, 4 months agoHeeey! Just moved to Dallas and am dying to break into the lezzie circles here. Reply if you’re down for brunch/coffee/drinks and we’ll hopefully get a group going!
-
I don’t have much (ok, any) of a circle but I would be down getting a group together for dranks n’ things.
-
Moving to Dallas in few months! But this also means I have no Dallas lezzie circle to contribute.
-
Hahahaha my lezzie circle comprises of my crazy on and off not-girlfriend (that just not-girlfriend broke up with me like 2 days ago), her weird ex girlfriends, and like 2 random other lesbians that I happen to work with but I’m not actually friends with. So my lezzie circle sucks and I need a new one. Let’s make this happen.
-
I have a circle but I am definitely sick of revolving in it. I’m always down for drinks with new people!
