Hey all,
I’m passing through London in June 15-18 on holiday. I’m 20 from Sydney Australia and I was hoping to go out clubbing during this time. So I was hoping if I could get some advice/possibly make some friends…I’m hoping to maybe move to London in 2012 so I really wanted to check out the scene whilst I’m there. I’m thinking of going out…[Read more]

Hey Cindy!
Afraid I’m not living in London at the moment, but lived there for 20 years so have plenty of advice :) Check out http://boards.gingerbeer.co.uk/ for what’s going on, there are plenty of meet ups and events which you could go to. G-A-Y and Candy Bar are both in SOHO right in the centre of London (and about a 5 minute walk from each…[Read more]

thanks so much! I’m going to be on my own it looks like but I think I might check out Candy Bar. Ta.xx
-
Hi! I totally forgot but I friended you as I should be around then to go out one night if you like. I’m 19 and relatively new to London, so still looking for more queer friends to go out with :) Not very knowledgeable about places as I’ve only ever been to Ku, G-A-Y and The Den, so perhaps I could check out Candy Bar with you? From all I’ve heard…[Read more]

BEST advice given above is to go East! To me it’s much more chilled an atmosphere, and it feels more like real London.
In Soho though, Ku bar gets my vote.-
I seem to hear this a lot, but where do you actually advise to go to? From what I can tell on the internet Ghetto seems to be closed and Dick and Fanny doesn’t happen very often .. and I can’t figure out if Trash Palace is the same as Ghetto. All the websites seem to be very out of date
-
there’s twat boutique and unskinny bop which you definitely need to check out. i’d also advise just going on a general bar crawl, basically it’ quite difficult to go wrong :)

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agosomeone left this comment on my YouTube page: “I’ll bet you are a big hulking bull dagger diesel dyke. a real monster! [classist rape joke redacted]!!!!!!!!”
I’m not entirely sure why. I mean, occasionally I get wasted and troll homophobes, which gets me trolled right back, but I am almost positive that I did nothing (other than exist) to…[Read more]

Ugh I am so sorry that happened to you! What an absolutely vile comment. Of course no amount of trolling homophobes would have justified that reaction even if you had done it but unfortunately I think a lot of the time our mere existence really is enough to set these kind of people off. The point you raise about the treatment of different kinds of…[Read more]

i agree with this. i generally try to take xyz-phobic comments, be it based on race/culture/class/gender/sexuality/etc., as an indicator of what they perceive as threatening (because otherwise life would just be a bowl of slightly moldy cherries rather than just cherries. mm, cherries). and well it is irritating in a way that there is this…[Read more]

I feel like I’m not going to appear nearly as eloquent or wordy as Lucy, but anyway:
Basically every day some asshat at my school yells at me, “You look like Justin Bieber!” Of course, I respond positively. I’ve had my pictures submitted to that tumblr. I just hate that they say this in a derogative manner.
-
It’s virtually never a good idea to compare whether one form of oppression is worse than another, especially because–newsalert–they’re often related. The same cultural mores and stereotypes underlie homophobia, transphobia, sexism, etc., and they can all lead to hatred.
One observation I’ve made is that gender policing in Western culture does…[Read more]
