I found a gay bar called The Wickham and it has rainbow flags outside too :3

It's not a place you'd go to on your own though and I have no one to go with T_T
 
I went to one! :D In Edinburgh fufufu. I can't remember the name, CC Blooms or something. It was pretty awesome but obviously it was an "under age" thing where they let us all in for a Halloween party for a couple of hours before chucking us out derp. :B But we left early because my friend and I are awkward.

Maybe I'm just blind but it wasn't very obvious to me that it was a gay bar though. Even on the inside.

But the gay bar across the street from where my friend lives/I was staying is so obvious that when I first stayed with her we stood outside it swooning for like ten minutes. idek.

RAMBLING ASIDE GAY BARS ARE AWESOME despite being utterly confused about my orientation now that I figured out my gender. :x
 
Lulz, I had a dream a while ago that there was a gay bar in my town. It was awesome.

I've never even seen one in real life. And there probably aren't many at all in my incredibly lame, conservative county. DX
 
Where do you live, again? There are gay bars in pretty much all cities. Towns, probably not unless they're like uber gay or something.

I know there's no gay bar in Neath or Port Talbot, but there might be one in Bridgend idk.
 
There are no gay bars whatsoever where I live. But there may be one in a pseudocity about an hour south, and I think my friend mentioned one in a place about an hour north. I've never actually seen one in real life (or, if I have, I didn't recognize it as one).
 
I once passed by this place called the "Rainbow Club" or something downtown.It was near the gay side of Houston, (Montrose) so I'm putting two and two together here. There was also a bar with hot pink fences, I guess it's for the campier people.

I seriously had no idea that Houston of all cities had a gay side of town until 2 weeks ago. This is awesome.
 
I found this place called Open Doors which is actually government funded apparently o.o

It specialises in connecting and supporting LGBT teens and their families.
 
Yeah, those sorts of organisations exist. They're cool I guess.

Most cities have a gay area. It might be small but it's generally there. Even crazy places like Afghanistan have gay districts. ... they're just, uh. secret.
 
So.
Guess who ordered a binder today.

I have a bunch of gendertalk to post but pfft it's boring and blah :c I'll just get a livejournal or summin. Biggest thing is: my shrink's a bitch who makes no effort to get where I'm coming from and I'm beign pathetic and snipping off my own hair at the back of my head because it's getting long. No one's noticed so-far but I'm not stopping because it's a lot more comfy this way. I'm also working on forming the school's GSA but I don't know whether that's a good thing or if it makes me a complete faggot.

Question since we're on a gay bar topic and it's kind of related: what do you guys think of Pride? Is it still a useful demonstration, still as relevant as it was when it was still called a march instead of a parade, or is it an excuse to get wasted and dance in pink underwear (nothing wrong about that either)?
Personally, I've been to one Pride march and plan on maybe going to next year's if I'm here, and while I think they're still important because many people get discriminated against and homosexuality is still illegal in many countries and things, but on the other hand I think they've lost a lot of their meaning, especially for younger gays who just don't really make efforts or fight for their rights because a) they've got them and/or b) they assume others will do the fighting for them, which is great, in a way, because it shows we've come pretty far, but... I don't know, I think it's a bit of a shame that it's more of a giant rave than a demonstration.

But I'm more of a protester than a party-goer so I suck either way :v
 
I don't think Pride is particularly relevant any more. It's always nice, yeah, but we don't have to be here and queer. We have to be here and people. The point now is to prove that we're people just like everyone else, and some of the shit that goes on at Pride doesn't really happen anywhere else...

I think the time for Pride has passed, but that doesn't mean I think Pride parades are bad. I just think they're unnecessary at this point and we need to fight for equality in other, less faggoty, ways.
 
Pride events aren't a bad idea, but I think a lot of the time they just end up being counter-productive. Marching down the street in BDSM gear doesn't really send the message to the public that gays are normal people who just want to live like everyone else, and not some sick fetishists.

That said, I would consider attending a pride event just to see what it's like and meet people and whatnot, but I couldn't see myself sticking around too long if it got out of hand.

Also, I just found out that my number 1 college choice has an annual drag show. IF I DON'T GET IN.
 
asldkfjklf;dsa crush on best friend. This is not awkward at all. And I need to learn self-control and stop surreptitiously invading her personal space because FRIENDSHIP IS PLATONIC DAMMIT.

Dx
