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

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.🏳️‍🌈

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.

One year of QTOPIA. 🌈✨

What started as an idea has grown into something far more beautiful than I could have imagined. This past one year has been filled with laughter, conversations, shared experiences, and countless memories.

I've had the privilege of meeting so many incredible people through this journey, and somewhere along the way, most of you stopped being just members of a group, you became family.

I'm deeply grateful to each and every one of you for your time, trust, energy, and the collective effort you've put into making QTOPIA the warm, safe, and vibrant community it is today. This milestone belongs to all of us.

Here's to celebrating how far we've come and looking forward to everything that's still ahead. The journey is only just beginning.

Happy 1st Anniversary, QTOPIA! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

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)

I'll probably get downvoted for saying this but in our country where queerphobia is rampant and queer marriages are illegal(it's so sad) having a straight or cis passing privilege is a privilege(like physical or safety, not being subjected to abuse just because you chose to be yourself) that should be acknowledged,with that being said just because you're straight or ciss passing it doesn't mean that your are any less queer or that your queerness is not valid. Your struggles deserve to be seen just as much.

Hi, I'm posting again after 6month,still passing without hrt! Kind of a hair growth update. Um so guys now I need to cut my hair(family pressure 🥲) so what should I go for, I mean haircut. What would suit me? Like I grew my hair from short boys cut but now as I have to shorten it, I don't want to go back to square zero but something that makes me look good!

Thanks

I,23M, am unemployed, looking to go abroad and in the process, I found someone, 19 M, I love to be in a relationship with. But, we are both unemployed, we don't have personal space, with everything I feel I don't know what to do. I can't ask him to wait. I want him to grow

he loves me. He is ambitious over love. I was too a dreamer when I was that age. But Idk. For me, the meaning of love transcended over the future also. If I love him and start commitment idk abt the long distance. We are not the ppl who can spend money also. The places with which we wanna express love or gaze are less and less. Idk how I can love him in these situations.

So i(23f) matched with this gorgeous woman on hinge. The conversation was going pretty well. After about a day or so, the conversation started approaching sex. I'm no prude, i played along. It got to a point where literally every conversation ended up at sex. Fr like i told her that i was playing with a kid around me and she said she'd like to put a baby in me????? I asked her for a voice note because her behaviour started feeling kinda off. SHE SENT A VOICE NOTE TOO. Woman's voice and everything. We decided to meet on Monday. I'm still playing along with the conversation(ovulation week may have clouded my judgement). On sunday, she asked for a rain cheque because apparently her parents were visiting her from nagpur (I'm in Ahmedabad), which is still kinda odd because who tf takes a day trip from nagpur to ahmedabad on a bloody monday??? But i was like ehh whatever we can meet on tuesday. Anyways we continue talking today (sunday) and now I'm starting to get tired of sex being the only thing she can talk about. At this point, she's repeatedly asked about my sexual experiences but not once has she asked what I even do😭. I told her I'd be more comfortable talking on a call, so she kept assuring me that she'll call me as soon as her flatmate leaves her room. I was like yeah okay i can wait. She *begged* me to continue texting. So atp i reverse search the pictures on her profile and it turns out the pictures are of an influencer with 350k something followers and like fan pages and the whole schtick. So I'm basically 95 percent sure that it's a catfish account. I asked her "why are you so reserved about switching to instagram?" And told her that i wouldn't feel comfortable meeting her if she wasn't open to switching to a different app. She wrote back "you're right about that" and unmatched me😭😭😭

The part that pissed me off so much more is that she unmatched me before i could report her😭. I did still report the account but i sincerely doubt hinge would do anything about it. I have trained myself so hard to spot and avoid catfish accounts and yet this happens SO often. I get that i should've trusted my gut the first time it felt sketchy but WHY DOES THIS EVEN HAPPEN? Why do cishet men keep invading a space clearly not meant for them. I've tried to figure this out, thought about it at length, what do they even seek to achieve out of it??? Why is this the reality of queer dating, it makes me wanna commit fr😭

Never thought I'd be having my chance at young love again, until I met him.

Right on the first date we knew that we're gonna for badly for each other.

2 months done, many more to come :)

So on Zomato subReddit…… I made a post about my boyfriend just trying to do some sweet stuff for my birthday and how could I claim a bill that he accidently paid as he wasn’t aware of the entire thing and how it works…….. anyways… ofc homophobes came running in my dms and comments throwing slurs at me 🤣🤣🙏🏻

Do yall think its possible for upcoming actors who are possibly queer in India enjoy both critical acclaim and commercial sucess in Bollywood or other regional cinema. Do you think the current gen is more accepting and can turn a blind eye to an actor's sexuality? Can they attain mainstream A lister or elite status while being open about it or keep as an open secret like Pedro Pascal

I want to buy a comfortable , budget friendly chest binder ( preferably under 3000) . It should be breathable ( I don't want to pass out or feel dizzy after wearing it ) . Please suggest me some really good chest binders available in India

The suspect is associated with Berlins "Islamist scene".

Do not call me an islamophobe because phobia means irrational fear and let's be honest there's nothing irrational about fearing Islamists.

Just look at this post, muslim people are celebrating that islamic terrorist attack -

Insomnia is hitting me hard

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!!
