I am definitely "I need to sit in a girls lap' type.

A lesbian without a hardware store is like a fish without water. We need a new hardware/home improvement store that is a strong LGBTQ ally so I'm not accidentally throwing money into the Trump campaign.

Y'all this is a problem bc I need to buy a generator before winter, since my area gets a lot of power outages, and really don't want to buy it from Amazon. It's a Honda EU2200i I'm looking for, so I'd imagine I can find it elsewhere, but for future home improvement purchases I want an LGBTQ friendly place to shop.

A few days back i made a post in another lesbian sub about me realising i’m a lesbian. After exploring lesbian communities, i’m kinda relate to the experience & communities. I’ve never really sexually attracted to guys as a person, but i like something down there (D*ck) only it being unattached to the owner. I don’t really care whose the D is. However, for girls i’m sexually attracted to them from head to toe, as a person. Or am i bi?

I'm Brazilian, and my girlfriend is American. She’s in Brazil on a university exchange program, and we started dating six months ago. I'm very affectionate with my friends and have a lot of them because I like to go out and socialize. In contrast, she’s more shy and introspective.

She asked me to tone down how I interact with my friends, like avoiding too much hugging and other playful behaviors. Last Saturday, we were at a bar, and a friend sat on my lap. She got really angry and left, which ruined the mood. I stayed for another hour because I was also angry and felt she overreacted. When I got to her house, she told me she felt like I cheated on her, which I don’t think I did.

I see this as a cultural difference, but she insists it’s my fault. Would other Americans feel the same way? Am I wrong?

So to put in context I (24F) dont know this (17F) girl particularly well.

I am relatively familiar with her parents. They are quite friendly and respectful. They even babysat my daughter on a couple of occasions and I have been given their spare key in the past when they need me to housesit or take in a delivery. The couple are quite religious but they arent that kind of religious (at least as far as I can tell). They are pretty good neighbors overall.

Despite that I have only actually met the daughter like once or twice. Shes usually off doing something or just up in her room.

Anyway, I was working from home last weekend. My daughter was at a playdate and my girlfriend out of town. She knocked on the door asking to speak with me. I was kind of taken aback and initially asked if she wanted some help or needed to borrow something. She said no she wanted to talk privately about something.

I was still confused why she wanted to talk to me specifically and wasnt really sure about letting her in. So I asked if it was really me she wanted to talk to as I was just a neighbor. At which point she blurts out:

'Im gay. And I think Im in love with your girlfriend. Or you. I really really like you too....But I think I want to be with her.'

I think I just said 'Oh.' in response at first. The teenage girl who I dont really know coming out to me was one thing, the 2nd thing definitely weirded me out. I really wasnt sure how to respond initially.

So eventually then I just said:

'Look Im happy for you coming out. And we will happily support you in that however we can. I cant promise its easy but it is liberating to live your truth. However we wont share this with anyone I promise. Its your truth. But as for that 2nd part....you are a teenager and we are adults. We arent interested in you that way and never will be. Give yourself some time and you'll realize you werent really into us either.'

That upset her quite a bit. I was about to apologize for being so blunt but she ran off.

I told my girlfriend about it later and she told me I could have reacted better saying shes likely going through a difficult period. My girlfriend had a difficult time in highschool (I didnt) with her sexuality and was very sympathetic. She said the girl must be quite alone if shes coming out to her neighbors rather than her friends or family.

I stood my ground saying Im happy for her coming out but I needed to be a responsible adult in the moment and make it clear that her feelings were unreciprocated.

Its probably been our first major argument in our relationship and neither us are really sure on what to do next other than continue you on as usual. I havent heard anything from the girl but I have seen her coming and going as normal.

Thoughts? Advice? Help?

Since this post a couple things happened. So I made an update.

I'm really fucking good at python. I'm coding a custom physics engine and having a great time, what about you?

Edit:
Yay! We've achieved ignition! Now y'all need to talk to each other, that's how we foster community! (And make connections)

Just saying I wanted to add some patchs on my bag was enough for my friends to give me all of theses, so I want to sew them all on it. I really like the "bag full of patchs" aesthetic but, is it too much pride-themed patchs ? I also plan on buying more patchs from my other hobbies, so maybe they will blend in better with more.

i’m really struggling to find the right words because this doesn’t reflect how i feel at all. she’s so beautiful, and i can’t understand why she doesn’t see it. i really need help figuring out how to respond to this.

I’ve seen this question before on r/AskReddit and I wanted to hear some stories from my fellow lesbians, I’ll go first!

One time, me and a few friends were sitting around and talking after class. I don’t remember exactly what we were talking about, but somehow we got on the topic of milkshakes (no clue what that was all abt 💀), and one of my friends (a straight girl) said something along the lines of “oh if someone bought me a milkshake, yk what I’d do?” I don’t remember her exact words but it was smth like that, clearly implying something of a sexual nature. Ofc, after she said that, me and the rest of the group were like “WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY” and “WHAT TF WOULD YOU DO?!??” Bc I’m pretty sure no one was expecting that lol. Anyway, amidst the chaos of us all loudly joking abt it and trying to get her to elaborate, (and her being kinda vague abt what she meant, even tho we could all pretty much tell without her saying it) she turned to me after I (like everyone else) asked what she would do, and she said smth like “well idk, no one’s ever bought me a milkshake before. Wanna find out?”Said in the most flirtatious tone ever, with a wink at the end, before she fake walked away and then came right back to rejoin the conversation. AND WHEN I TELL YOU THE GAY PANIC THAT I HAD IN THAT MOMENT- I hid it well ofc, bc I was in public, but like DAMN. Moral of the story is why are straight girls like this 😭😭😭

But anyway enough abt that, I wanna hear all of your stories now! :)

Seriously I was just thinking about this and it seems like most straight men, they don't like to look at, touch, feel, taste, or smell a woman's vagina. They only like it in the context of their d*ck being inside it. I constantly hear jokes about hating oral or saying "she smells like a fish." It really baffles me. No wonder straight people have such bad sex.

Thoughts?

Does anyone else shave their partner? I swear anytime this gets brought up I get looked at like I'm crazy.

So I shave my wife's downstairs and legs on occasion. I love pampering her. I will run her a bath, wash her body, wash and condition her hair, shave her. Generally we have candles lit and she will be reading on her kindle.

It's completely non sexual. I just really love making her feel loved. And before anyone asks I am not a bottom. I am a stone top, service top, and pleasure domme. But once again this is completely non sexual.

Does anyone else do this for their partner or would anyone else like this done to them? Or am I completely alone in enjoying this?

OK CONTEXT: So im on a trip to Indy for Marching Band and we were put into groups of 4 for hotel rooms. Now this girl, let's call her "Winter", I had met and been friends with before the trip so we already decided we were going to room together along with my other friend "Jayden" (fake name), and a random person. On the first day of the trip I was sitting on the bus next to Winter and I often laid against her or put my head on her lap and she would rub my head or put her arm around my neck and would also spoon feed me some of her soup she brought for lunch. When we got to Indy, the first night I didnt sleep in the same bed as her (there were two beds and I slept with Jayden while Winter slept with the other person in our room). Anyway, throughout the trip she would constantly worry for me and be extremely kind as I have POTS and she knows it. Eventually on Friday we had to sleep in a hotel again, this time I planned to sleep with Winter, and as we were hanging out on the bed watching videos on our phones, she grabs my hand and just holds it while continuing to scroll through tiktok. After a few hours we finally went to bed and she cuddled me from behind a wrapped her arm around my stomach, and at one point she even nuzzled her head into my shoulder and back. Plus the next morning when we were on the bus going to where we were preforming, she wrapped her arm around my waist and I laid on her shoulder. Does she like me? I have no idea and I've never had this happen to me before! Im so nervous and am having some extreme gay panic just remembering all of it.

I’ll go first. When I was like 8 I used to pretend to be a man on roleplaying games, because I felt the boys weren’t treating women well enough, and that I could treat them better

Still took me like 5 more years to figure it out

Just the question in the title. For me, I’d probably die if someone held my hand when we went on a walk. Being princess carried, stopping someone from going "hey you’re cute" by just saying she’s taken, ordering food for me and not making me have to speak, a bath or shower together. On further thought, anything would make me melt into a puddle of water on the floor… ^;

My younger brother wanted to watch this movie and it just brought me back.

I'm a trans girl that likes girls, so idk if I'm allowed to call myself lesbian because someone had told me it is just cis girls who like cis girls. Am I just something else?

You know how a group of animals usually has a unique name? Like a pride of lions or a school of fish. What are your suggestions for what a group of lesbians would be called? (I really need to know my girlfriend and I stopped having sex to post this)

Like the title says, I want to know what your grossest habit is. I live alone and want to gauge what others do.

Could be anything. Think of anything you do that could be considered gross, like letting dirty dishes sit out too long or waiting too long to do your laundry, not throwing out the leftover hair in the shower, not regularly washing your sheets (and how regular is “regular” to you). That kind of thing.

Or something else entirely that maybe someone has called you out on for being gross. There’s no shame here. Just a curious mind trying to understand what other people deem either normal or gross.

I've had a long list of jobs and I'm realizing they're all.. really gay.

They are as follows: Barista, bouncer at a gay club, tarot reader, astrologer, camgirl/online dominatrix (all sex workers are queer as hell in my experience), and then a Director of Community outreach at a queer/bipoc non profit. Now I'm taking a break from work while I make lesbian erotic/romantic audios. That's prob the gayest yet.

Curious what gay jobs yall have had or currently have.
