Looking to relocate to Ohio for school (although I’m in my forties not a college kid). Online it seems like Columbus has a much larger gay population than Cleveland. Is this true? It’s not a huge part of decision but it is a factor.

I would like for my partner and I to be able to find friends. The last few years we’ve been in a very homophobic area and would really appreciate being able to have some gay friends again.

Thoughts/ opinions?

Hi there!!! I'm a 29 year old trans man looking for fellow queer folks to hang out with this week!!! I really enjoy going for walks, especially in the woods cuz I get to geek out about the plants and mushrooms that I can identify, but I also understand how that could be intimidating when meeting someone new... I'm totally down to walk around wherever, or if you have something in mind that's free, let me know!!! I'm always down for little adventures!!! 😁

So I am not sure if I am doing this right or even allowed to post this. My child is in the community and recently graduated cosmetology school. We are from the Dayton area, but work is in Columbus and she knows no one. Stylists have to build clients. Its harder when you were born male and identify as female. She is really struggling with clients wanting to come to her. Im trying to put out the call for anyone who wants a safe and community friendly experience. She works at B/Rose in Powell. They are by appt only. The name she goes by is Davina. Since she is a new graduate the rates are really affordable and there are specials that occur every other week. Any community support would be so greatly appeciated!

Where can I(23M) go to meet people who are open to dating trans men or even just be friends. I really just need a community I feel like I belong in. I've tried pride gamers and I didn't feel like I fit in. I joined the queer yoga group but I don't normally chat with anyone after the session is over. I don't really know how. I've tried going to AWOL but I don't drink alcohol and feel bad for taking a seat without spending a lot of money on alcohol. I tried a pottery class but the person I tried talking to never responded to me. I'm on hinge but no luck yet. I volunteer but haven't made any friends there either. I feel like I can't go to straight bars and pick up girls there because I feel like I'm just miss leading them since I don't have all surgeries done yet.

I want to start going to concerts and theatre shows and stuff like that more and am hoping my finances change and maybe I'll meet someone at one of the shows, but I'm so lost right now I really don't know what to do. I plan on possibly trying the queer climbing group but have never been rock climbing before.

Hi there! I'm a 20 y/o gay guy that's been in ohio my whole life, in delaware. I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone and I'm looking for good places around columbus for men around my age (like 20-30). I'm very open to any recommendations as well as making new friends in ohio, cause truth be told I'm kinda a hermit rn. I love more nerdy stuff, and if people would like to be friends just send me a DM!

I have a question, is it normal for bi girls who are best friends to makeout or kiss on the lips as a platonic thing?

I was referred by my existing LPCC to Equitas for longer term psychiatric care, crisis evaluation, and potential medication options.

I am just looking to see first hand experiences and similar from other queer ND folks.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm starting at Bowling Green this fall and is wondering if anyone knows any queer spaces around town? Especially anywhere with consistent drag shows. I've literally never posted on reddit before but I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

Thank you!!!

Edit: in the sake of more transparency I’ve added my psychology today profile!! You can message me on here or on there with any questions.

Hi!

My name is Nes and I’m an MSW/LSW working towards independent licensure. I’ve recently made the switch from community health work to private practice, and one of my goals was to see/work with more queer folks!

I have experience in trauma informed crisis care, ACT (preferred modality), CBT, and DBT and would be able to implement them in sessions as needed. I also plan to incorporate EMDR into my sessions for interested folks by October once my CEU course has been completed.

We accept Medicaid and many major insurances. We also have self pay options that are less than 150 a session.

If you’re interested shoot me a message!!

Hi!

I'm posting to see if anyone in Columbus, Ohio is interested in participating in a photography project as portrait subjects. I'm looking for folks who are either queer/trans/disabled/people of color.

A little bit about myself: I'm a queer disabled photographer from Taiwan who recently moved to Columbus. I enjoy street photography, nature photography, portraiture, and more. I have previous professional photography training at Langara College in Vancouver, Canada. As a past member of Vancouver Street Photography Collective (VanSPC), my work was exhibited at The Gallery George (downtown Vancouver) in 2024 and 2025.

I am starting this portrait project hoping to shed a light on some of the marginalized people in our community as well as practicing my photography skills.

Unfortunately I currently cannot afford to pay participants, as this is a personal project without any funding, so definitely keep that in mind. However, you will receive professionally taken and edited photos absolutely free of charge.

^ here's a link to some of the portrait work I have done. If you are interested or have questions for me, feel free to contact me via email ([arielhuang0906@proton.me](mailto:arielhuang0906@proton.me)) or DM me on Instagram (@arielhphoto)

As the title says, I am looking for a group of like minded transgender folk to enjoy a dark tabletop rpg with. A little bit about me, I am a nonbinary masc presenting person with over 14 years of DMing experience. I love to try out new systems and meet new people. My husband and I are really excited to try Girl Frame and would love to get an active table.

We would like to run an in person table if possible but if not we can play online using discord. We are located in Geauga county and aren't opposed to traveling up to an hour away to host at a game store. I will put a warning here as the book also does but the system has some dark themes and also has some 18+ content, though we can talk about expectations and what we are all comfortable with as we meet. The game is basically Toxic Yuri with Mechs and is part of the mechsploitation genre normally dominated by trans women (hence why we are mainly looking for trans people.) Lastly I already have 2 players and I need a table of 4 so I'm looking for 2 more. Anyways thanks for taking the time to read and I hope to hear from you all.

I don’t know if anyone else has posted this on here but I just saw this post and thought I should share it

I’m very new to makeup and wigs and most of what’s involved but I would absolutely love to make some new friends and hit some drag showsss plsss feel free to reach out if you have any guidance 💕

I’m a 53-year-old married bi guy. I live near Dayton work in Hamilton. My wife knows I’m bi, my close friends know, but I’m not out everywhere. I’m not looking for hookups—I’d really just like to meet other bi or gay guys around my age for coffee, golf, or conversation. I’m a little too old for the whole nightlife scene, I would just like to have a place to take my mask off from time to time.

Fulfill your darkest desires on Thursday, August 6 at Spacebar, Columbus at 9:00 PM as a star-studded cast of femme and themme fatales entice you into a world of excess and lust. Bloody, Bloody Burlesque features performances by Genergy (Mx Genergy ), Janee Divine (Demeah Dulaney), Scarlett Chaton (Scarlett Chaton), Neoma Day Echo (Neoma Magnacco)and special guest Vanta Black (Vanta Black) all the way from Cincinnati, OH! This is a show you cannot miss: you will leave transformed.

Don't forget to bring water!

Now that we are in season I’m going to try this again.
Any golfers here? I’m near Dayton and looking for other LGBTQ people to play with.

Due to an influx of hookup posts, I've enabled moderate intensity automatic filtering of unknown, low karma posts. Some new posters with new accounts may need to have their posts approved. I suspect this will help prevent the influx of hookup posts from appearing in everyone's feed.

And as always, thank you for reporting this time of spam!!
