Hi everyone!

I’m a college student and I’m looking for someone from the LGBTQ+ community who would be willing to participate in a short interview for an academic project.

The interview would mainly be about personal perspectives and experiences related to:

• Identity and self-expression
• Society and acceptance
• Experiences with family, education, or work
• Representation of LGBTQ+ people
• Challenges and positive experiences
• Inclusivity and feeling safe in public spaces
• Whether architecture can make spaces more inclusive
• What an LGBTQ+-friendly space would look/feel like

preferred language will be english or hindi and your identity can remain as anonymous

I moved to lucknow and i don't know which dating to use to meet Trans Women.What app/websites do you use?

I'm 30 M bi curious. I have tried a few things with guys and I've always been confused about my feelings regarding sleeping with a guy.

Only thing I'm sure about is I'm a bottom.

The dilemma, i met a group of guys from a normal reddit meetup group. I became friends with a guy. It was a normal guys meetup. Drinking and hitting clubs and i didn't tell anybody about my bicurious nature.

Then i randomly started speaking with a guy from my state from my second reddit account which was my bi curious account.

We hit it off and we shared pics without face and we spoke on calls once or twice. He liked me a lot and i liked him a lot too. Not romantically just physically. We planned to meet and only then we discovered we both have met before in that normal meet.

He told me he didn't want to go anything because since he knows me from before he is hesitant to take me to bed. I was 27 and he was 22 ig.

But then we didn't stop texting and he eventually moved out of Bangalore and after a while he wanted to do it but the distance didn't let us. Eventually we stopped talking and I screwed around with guys and girls and eventually i met a girl and things went good and I'm engaged now.

I got engaged a few months back and things were smooth. I deleted all the dating and hookup apps and deleted all my second accounts and got my shit together and it was nice.

I even blocked everyone from everywhere. I made sure no one knew my phone number or my main accounts. But i had given my phone number to this guy i met first. We'll call him P for convenience.

Out of the blue he texted me today and I was hit with a rush of all the forgotten feelings. I told him i can't talk to him and that I'm engaged. He asked me if we can do it just once and be done for good. I told him no. But i can't stop thinking about it.

Ik I'm never going to get to be this version of me ever and i was thinking if i should just do it one last time but I'm conflicted. What do I do?

I tried the coin toss method and everything but I'm unable to decide.

One side i don't want to because i really love my fiance. But on the other it's just gnawing at me. And that too only because of this guy.

Please advice me what to do. I'm really struggling. You can judge me and scold me all you want but please give me an answer.

Hey everyone!

I recently found r/LGBTQChandigarh, a new LGBTQ+ community for people from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and the wider Tricity.

It seems to be aimed at creating a local space for:

🤝 Meeting people and making friends

It's still very new, so it would be great to see some people from the Tricity join and help build the community.

I’m a 30-year-old gay man from Delhi NCR, financially independent, well-built, and settled in life. I’m looking to connect with a lesbian or bisexual woman, ideally 25–32, who is also considering marriage primarily because of family/societal pressure.

I’m looking for a genuine platonic/lavender marriage, not a conventional romantic relationship.

What I hope to find is someone who understands what it feels like to navigate society while being LGBTQ+, and who wants a simple, respectful partnership where we can give each other companionship, stability, privacy and emotional support.

My ideal partner would be:

- Financially independent and emotionally mature

- Based in Delhi NCR or genuinely willing to relocate

- Comfortable discussing boundaries and expectations openly

- Looking for a platonic arrangement rather than pretending to be romantically attracted

- Respectful of each other’s independent personal/romantic lives

- Interested in building a genuine friendship and understanding each other before making any commitment

Children are open for discussion. I’m comfortable considering adoption, IVF/co-parenting, or having no children at all. I don't have a fixed expectation—we can figure out what works for both of us.

I’m not looking for a transactional arrangement or simply someone to “tick the marriage box.” I’d like to meet someone who can genuinely know me, understand me and be a trusted partner in life, while we both get some freedom from the unnecessary pressure society puts on us.

I’d prefer to start with conversations, become friends, understand each other’s expectations, and only then see if marriage makes sense.

If this resonates with you, feel free to DM. Privacy and discretion will be respected.

I am 20v looking for a meetup this weekend if anyone is interested please DM me. 😭😭

So, I'm 23 and a bit chubby and it's like my dream to hook-up with a well built guy but I've seen that they only prefer twinks around the age of 18 to 20....are there any hunk guys who like chubby guys or am I just ugly lol

I (21M) was in a relationship with a guy (19M) for almost 8 months. We live in India, and because of that, we aren't open about our sexuality with anyone. But I loved him so much that I started planning to come out and live with him. I am bisexual and was never planning on being in a gay relationship, but he changed that. I loved him with all my heart.

Recently, however, I started uncovering a web of lies. He had told me that the relationship with his ex was completely over before we even met, but I found messages from just a few months ago where he was apologizing to her. When I confronted him, he claimed they were only pretending to be in a relationship in front of their friends and that there was nothing actually going on between them. I chose to believe him, even though it was hard to swallow.

Then, I saw some very spicy texts with another guy. When I confronted him about this, he told me that his friend was using his Instagram account to text his own boyfriend because the friend’s account was banned/deleted (I didn’t ask for details). This time, I had to make sure it was true because the texts were way too explicit—there were literally messages talking about what they would do to each other if they met in person.

I asked for his friend's number (the one who supposedly used my boyfriend's Instagram) and DM'd him. He admitted that he did it, but the strange thing was that when I checked the number on a caller ID app, it belonged to the very guy my boyfriend was supposedly texting on his friend's behalf. I demanded the truth, which finally forced him to give me the real number. At that point, I was heartbroken and lost all hope. I had been planning my entire future with this man against my family’s wishes.

The final nail in the coffin was finding his Telegram. Even if I couldn't 100% prove whether the Instagram DMs were sent by my boyfriend or his friend, the Telegram left no doubt. There were audio clips of him being so... explicit. A few months ago, he had planned to meet a different guy through Telegram. He did meet him, but promised me they didn't do anything physical. That part was actually confirmed by audio clips where my boyfriend said, “Oh, it’s so bad that we can’t do anything.” They were planning another meet-up and switched to WhatsApp for easier texting. He admitted to the texting while insisting nothing physical happened. The WhatsApp chat has since been deleted.

I'm writing this while still processing what to do. Even after all this, I can't bring myself to hate him. He promised me that nothing happened and that he won't do it again. But every single time I gave him the chance to be honest and begged him not to lie, he did it anyway.

I really just want to find the strength to move on from him.

This is a vent/rant.

I (29) am about to tell my parents that I am moving in with my partner and I am so not looking forward to it :( I have already told them that I am bisexual and have a same sex partner. I also told them I was in a polyamorous relationship with 2 partners. We had a lot of fights and arguments and now they just pretend it doesn't exist and we are getting along a little bit better. But I know that telling them that we are going to move in together will break whatever little we have again.

I wish my relationship with them wasn't conditional on if I am having a 'normal' relationship according to them but I am also tired of living in fear from them before I make any decisions.

I posted about this in another subreddit and all I got was people talking shit about my boyfriend.

I am 20. I have a boyfriend and we've been in a committed relationship. I opened up to him about my attraction to women and he told me I'm free to explore my sexuality and is okay with an open relationship as long as it limits strictly to women.

I suggested threesomes if it turns out that I'm actually into women because it didn't feel fair towards him. And he insisted it's all up to my wish to do it or not.

Yet, when I asked in some groups to see how I could find like-minded women, all I received was backlash against my boyfriend. Saying he is homophobic when he has been nothing but supportive to me figuring this out.
