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]

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.

um. uh. wait. ok. wait. what was the question? ok. um. yeah. wait. what? 12 years, 4 months ago
I was with a group of my straight girl friends (oh who am I kidding, I have no queer community, all my girl friends are straight) and for some reason the conversation turned to my sexuality (again who the fuck am I kidding. They are fascinated. They think I can give them insights into the minds of men. wtf?)
One of them asked, “So, Kat, which…[Read more]

no, they don’t get you. being the token lesbian is no fun when you’re the only gay lady they’ve ever met.
-
Being the token lesbian is extra fun when the female friends of your friends stare suspiciously at social events after they’ve consumed alcohol, then creep on your straight best friend because it’s not gay if they try to sleep with her. WOMEN ARE SCARY CONFUSING.
-
I can’t remember who told me this, but a straight friend of mine told me she was ‘straight in the way all straight women are straight, which actually means just a teeny bit gay.’
And that teeny bit of gay just comes RIGHT up to the surface when alcohol is involved, doesn’t it?-
holy smokes, i am SO saving your friends’ quote– genius.
-
…I’d guess I know a lot of girls like her then, haha!
-
The expression I’ve heard is ‘three-beer queer’. They’re bored and curious and the boundaries are down, and through the magic of alcohol they’re not responsible for their actions come morning.
Which. I’m actually okay with? Because I am totally fine with people using the empirical method to determine how straight they are. It just gets really…[Read more]

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY GIRLS ASK THIS QUESTION. what answer do they want? they have a problem with every answer.
-
the only answer i have ever had any success with is ‘yes’. but was also the bicurious experiment of several of my straight girl friends in high school. which is not really as it sounds like. (it was kind of awesome at the time. but not as awesome as it could have been.)
-
“Yes” to the question of “which one of us would you do?”
If I interpreted this correctly it is hilarious, brilliant and usable.

My wife & I were asked by a wretched straight-girl roommate, “Do you guys in your lesbianic theory, think I’m hot?” I had an easy out by replying “I’m really only attracted to butch women.” The wife had to fumble with some excuse that she just wasn’t her type.
Why do they ask that? Do they ask their straight guy friends the same question? What…[Read more]

NYC Autostraddlers 12 years, 4 months agohey does anybody know where i can get a good haircut for not terribly expensive? i’m going for the asymmetrical/hipster/hey-i’m-gay-and-super-cool look…
-
I really like dixon hairshop. dicksonhairshop.com/ ‘clean ups’ are free for short hair which is pretty excellent and 40 bucks isn’t that steep if you factor in you can get 2 free ‘clean ups’ with that.
-
I last had my hair chopped off a few months ago at Le Petit Chandelier in Brooklyn. Best haircutting experience of my life! She can totally make you a gaybot too, she made me shaggy and layered and accomplished something akin to a Joan Jett/David Bowie look.
-
I recently went to Crops for Girls (they specialize in short haircuts for women) in the East Village (they have a student discount but regular haircuts are around $40 I think) and was very happy with it. The guy is chill and won’t talk your ear off like some hairstylists…

It was my work summer party on Friday. Various awkward moment: outing myself as bi to random colleagues for no reason, being rejected by my workcrush when I asked her to dance in front of her friends, asking closeted gay guy ‘what’s with the beard?’ (I actually was asking about his facial hair but realise now it could have looked like I meant his…[Read more]

It’s Monday morning back at work (I’m in London). So far one awkward conversation BUT have also been told my dancing was ‘awesome’ (and in a good way) :D Pretty sure workcrush is on holiday so at least don’t have to deal with that. Just waiting for embarrassing photos to surface now.

You sound like fun, no joke!
