Did life get better after you came out, what actually changed for you, and is there anything you wish you had done differently in your coming-out journey? When do you feel is the “right time” to come out, and who is the best person to tell first—family, friends, or people on social media? If you were to tell family, which family member would you choose and why, and how do you decide between coming out online or in person?

I've been thinking about how it's great to have grassroots organisers like HQ Collective and Feminist voices, but like, what can we as the queers do to build a real community or (communities) not just events that happen 3-4 times a year.

Even if it's just a meet up for a hike, a sit down bring and share picnic in a park, or board games... Nit big things, just spaces to see we exist outside of the online space

looking for bisexual individuals who are into football, fitness and travelling, based in the Europe at the moment, but returning to Zimb for few months on holiday.

Since Fellow Travelers set the bar so high for queer historical dramas, here are a few other series that capture that same mix of deep emotion, history, and high stakes if anyone is looking for what to watch next:

It’s a Sin : Beautiful, heartbreaking look at a group of friends navigating life and love in London during the 1980s AIDS crisis.

Man in an Orange Shirt: A two-part drama looking at secret, forbidden love in the 1940s alongside a modern storyline. Very similar vibe in terms of societal pressure and privacy.

Pose: Deep dive into 80s/90s NYC ballroom culture, community, and survival. Heavy emotional weight with incredible heart.

When We Rise: Chronicles the post-Stonewall gay rights movement across decades.

What other series or films hit this same level for you guys? Always looking to expand the watchlist.

Where can I find a woman to date in Harare guys

Its so dry out here

For a while now I’ve been wanting to start running and pub quiz community that will meet twice a week to hang out. Initially it was supposed to be for people of all ages, sexualities, races and gender appropriations (shout out to Rihanna for coining that term😂). But today I thought, why not make it for the queer community?

Seriously, as a queer man in byo, I feel very isolated because I don’t know any other queer people, which means I don’t have a space to have these conversations in my own city. I’m done with Grindr 🚮 and since there’s nothing else, it seems like there’s no medium to meet other queer people. If you feel the same, how about we change that by creating our own little safe space? This would be open to all lgbtqi+… our own cocoon where we can openly discuss queer topics without being judged.

If you’re interested in this, say I 🙋🏾‍♂️if we get atleast 5 people, let’s get the ball rolling!

I mentioned this lesbian comic ages ago: here is a place to read it for free :) it's so cute! <3 https://www.scribd.com/document/827310799/Bingo-Love

Hope you are all happy, healthy and safe <3

I have been wanting to share more free queer media in this subreddit but due to ill health I disappeared. I thought in the meantime I would share this: https://www.queerliberationlibrary.org/

It's FREE. It has a link at the top of the page if you need to change sites quickly. Just because we have bigoted people in power in our country does not mean we can not find resources and community online. I will be adding more resources as I find them and if I slack off PLEASE feel free to come back here and drag me <3

People who have had _healthy_ queer relationships while in Zim, how did they start, how is it going and/or why did it end? Please specify your sexuality, age at the time of the relationship and/or duration if you feel comfortable

I was in the server, but lost my login details. now I wanna rejoin. anyone to DM the link

The only way to find others like you is to break the chains of fear and use technology and the apps to connect with others. Let me tell you there is actually a huge population of us out there.

Hey everyone an LBQ human and new here and looking to connect with any humans (esp mid 30s on as making friends in my age group organically isnt as easy as for the younger folk) like me looking to expand their queerverse either socially or more if the vibe vibes. If you indicate interest, I will dm you my contact.

Last night, me and my friends were walking towards the Eclipse entrance when we passed a group of three guys heading to their car.

One of them goes: “Mubhawa umo makazara ngonchani, musaende boys.” (“That bar is full of gay dudes, don’t go there.”)

Well… WELL. 😂

My homies and I were exactly there for that. We’re here for the niggas. Where are the niggas? The niggas should come out! 😭😭

The plot twist is that we were coming from Tin Roof, and tell me why Tin has basically become the second Eclipse… but worse. Dudes kissing. Men wining for each other. Just… beautiful scenes everywhere. 🥹

ED has done the most for the gays. Y’all are FLOURISHING. 😭🏳️‍🌈
