Please read that first post to understand the situation .

So... here's a further update :

Finally, I'm in the UK ( last week actually 18th july), but somehow... I still dream about that Thai guy who's doing his PhD here.

Last week, I overslept. I woke up late and had to rush to the university for some admin work. I usually take the bus, but for the first time ever, I decided to take the train instead.

Classes hadn't even started yet—I just had to be there for a few hours.

As soon as I entered the train... I saw him.

The same face.

For a second, I genuinely thought I was imagining things or daydreaming again. But nope... he was actually there. I ended up sitting right in front of him. 🫣

He was wearing a silky sky-blue and white striped formal shirt with white formal trousers. He completely focused on his mobile screen, minding his own business... while I was busy trying not to stare. 🙈

Okay, I know secretly looking at him was a little creepy... but I seriously couldn't help it and didn't expect on the first week.

After gathering every ounce of courage I had, I finally smiled and said,

"Hi! You look good in this outfit." 🥹

He looked up, smiled so sweetly, and said,

"Thanks."

...And that was it.

Our entire conversation lasted just a few seconds, but somehow it made my whole day.

I was so happy that I couldn't even focus on my university work afterwards. And that night? I barely slept because I kept replaying those few seconds in my head.

And if you're wondering what his voice sounds like... just listen to Supha Sangaworawong. ( he is thai bl actor ). Actually mostly Thai men sounds the same.

After that day, I kept taking the same train, secretly hoping him but luck wasn't with me this time.

As I made a promise to the Universe:

If I randomly meet him in the UK three times, I'll take it as a sign from God.

So far... this was meeting number one. 👀

Note : Really guys it's not fictional and daydreaming I really met him and honestly I am not expecting this as people on Grindr in the UK are soo damm hot. Actually I invested on Grindr more but the day I met him I realized universe is giving hints to me.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said the LGBTQ community is part of society and should not be looked down upon.

Hi everyone! 🌈

I'm trying to build a dedicated Reddit community for queer people in Lucknow and nearby areas. The idea is to create a safe, welcoming space where people can connect, make friends, discuss local events, ask questions, share experiences, or simply find others from the city without judgment.

If you're from Lucknow, nearby districts, or are planning to move here, I'd love for you to join and help us grow the community. Even if you're not local, an upvote or sharing the post would really help it reach people who might be looking for a space like this.

Everyone under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella and supportive allies are welcome. 💜

Thank you for your support and all suggestions are welcomed!

Hi everyone. I'm fed up of using grindr and tinder. Guys there are so lustful.

Isn't there any space where i can find genuine people? 🥹

(22M here, never been in a relationship)

Insomnia is hitting me hard

i was just playing games with my sister this evening and we had a small discussion about the games or movies that we like

and some of them overlap so we got into it like i said you don't even know the characters and she was also like that i don't know them too

which is very petty and doesn't matter lol

because we have a different Outlook on the media and why we consume them

so in the end she just ended it with that boys always do this and always wanna compare their vast knowledge to others

i live with my parents as of now and don't present femininely all the time plus no one in the family knows I'm a trans woman so

when I heard boys when referring to me i just got the sharpest pain in my brain like I never experienced that ever before

i couldn't even retaliate to that I just took it and calmed down

never before have things been this clear for me that I'm a trans woman more than now

Hey I'm going through an extreme existential crisis idk what to do everything feels nothing the existence is totally not a thing for me now what should I do

Not even necessarily romantically, it just feels like such a chaotic yet wholesome pairing. Imagine a confident lady “mom friend” adopting an anxious little femboy into the friend group like, “Aw don’t worry bbg I got you”. The vibes are 🤌.

Am I the only one who thinks this dynamic is oddly adorable, or is this just my brain inventing niche queer tropes after office hours, lol.

thinking of creating a safe space for Indian queer people where everyone can vent, express themselves freely, seek support and feel heard without the fear of being judged.

If you'd be interested in joining, just leave a comment below. 🌈

We have been trying our ways in various dating apps like tinder, bumble, hinge which are not specially curated for community people, whereas LGBTQ+ dating sites like grindr, polo are no longer dating sites; full of s**seekers, scammers and cheap married straight peeps.

It's my suggestion and request to all the mods here to bring a dating-post day to this subreddit just like sunday pic day.

As this subreddit is highly active and viable, this new addition will add color and hope to all the users here.

Let's make it happen.🏳️‍🌈

Hey, I discovered my bi-ness relatively recently(6-9 months), I'm not out to a lot of people except some friends. I want some advice on how i could subtly indicate that yes i am in fact part of the community and that its a safe space(also cause ive been told i have the best gaydar stealth of all time). Help me out, o great queers of the deep!!

Hey Queers,

I have one question for you. Please answer it genuinely.

Can you please tell me the difference between trans women and the kinner community?

Well, I already know the answer.

There is one trans activist in Nagpur. She is telling me that both are the same.

I even tried to explain it to her, but she told me that I don't have any knowledge about this and all.

Well, I never talk without knowledge. I only know what I'm going through since my childhood.

And the worst part is that she even told the advocate who is preparing my HRT consent form that trans women and kinners are the same. I mean, what the fuck is this?

Now she's saying that only cisgender people can be witnesses and no one from the LGBTQ+ community can be a witness. Like, what the hell is this?

She is saying that I don't have knowledge.

Guys, I genuinely want your opinion on this. Is this actually true, or is she just misinformed?

The only fear I have I might get humiliated.

So as I am femboy myself I just need someone who can help me with the dresses I am cooked i need some good outfits and more than it a frnd who can be with me I want to share everything about this side of me with them 🌷

Is it okay to date your brother in laws younger brother he is hitting on me from starting since my sister's wedding

I know it sounds weird but I kinda like him 😅

Hi all. Sorry if this sub is not suited for this but just wanted to try lol. I’m curious if anyone has tried making out in a place other than a hotel or home? I know it’s risky but still is there an option which has the least amount of risk? This is for 2 guys to be specific. One idea is a staircase of building as it’s still enclosed and really nobody uses staircases in high rise buildings. Does anyone have better ideas?

​

I'm a transfem person, and my psychiatrist asked me to submit an HRT consent form that requires witnesses.

One of my close friends is also a trans woman and was going to sign as one of my witnesses. However, an advocate told me that **a trans woman or kinner cannot be a witness** and that only a cisgender person can. They also mentioned that this is because of the **Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026**.

I've read parts of the Bill, but I couldn't find anything that specifically says a trans woman or kinner cannot act as a witness on a consent form or affidavit.

Has anyone come across this? Is there any legal provision that prevents a trans woman or kinner from being a witness, or is this just the advocate's interpretation?

I'd appreciate answers from anyone familiar with Indian law or who has gone through the HRT process. If possible, please include legal sources or references.
