Hello, my wife and I (30 and 27, trans lesbians big into goth music and raving) are looking for things to do when we visit Ireland next week.

We will be staying from 8/23 to 9/1 and will mostly be around Dublin but plan to drive over to Galway later on in the trip.

We wanted to get any recommendations for queer places to go. Specifically, any good goth venues or gay nightclubs are a bonus!

Thank you!

Hi I’m asian looking for friends to maybe chat and have drinks with

Heyo! So, im a lesbian living near enough to dublin, im currently 17, but id rlly like to start looking to see if i could attend some sapphic meetups that would have people around my age (like 17-19), but im not sure where to start, and if i even should, like, i am still young and idk if i should just wait that extra year until im 18 to look into dating or the like

Also i cannot deal with very loud places, and im not great with crowds, but if it isnt like sardine can concert level, id probs be fine

So im just wondering if anyone has any advice on groups i could join/look into, or if i should just ditch this idea and come back to it next year?

And lastly, im not looking to meet up with anyone from here or anything, i have at least some sliver of online safety (also why im only attaching my age to an old ahh account cuz noones entitled to my personal info), i just want advice yall ToT

UPDATE: The guest list is by Lucy Foley NOT Sophie Hanna sorry for the confusion

I know we’re only halfway through our current read, but I want to keep things moving and give everyone a bit more notice this month so we’ve got plenty of time to choose and sort our next read-along. The poll will stay open for the next week, so hopefully that gives everyone time to vote and pick up a copy if they need one.

Again we have 3 very different books, I encourage everyone to vote for one, and to read along regardless of weather your pick is chosen or not. It might not be the type of book you usually read but you might end up loving it.

New readers are always very welcome too, and we’d love to have you read along with us.

Anyone fancy a chat? I need somepne to talk to

Im gay, out, need to lose 10-15 kg by year end. Is there a gay friendly gym or pt in or near d8?

Hi everyone! I moved to Sligo last week to study at ATU, and I’m finding the move a lonely so far.

I’m also gay, so I’d especially love to meet some LGBTQ+ people or anyone who is open to making new friends. I’m interested in getting out, exploring Sligo, going for walks, having coffee, going to pubs/events, etc.

Are there any LGBTQ+ groups, social events, clubs, or places in Sligo where it’s easy to meet people? Or are there any other students/newcomers here who are also looking to make friends?

Would really appreciate any suggestions 😊

Is there a group for nerodivergent people in the community and is there any classes /seminars for managing socoil situations? Really really isolated of late and have the social skills of a dead corpse.

... and I completely forgot about it till it was over. I'm kicking myself. I love board games, and I don't have any local queer friends. Maybe next year I'll get to it.

does anyone know any good lgbt friendly barbers in Dublin that I can get my hair styled? 🤔 Looking to try out a Modern Mullet :D

M 57 Donegal. Absolutely finished with apps, where 90% are pic collectors or just looking to get off. What other options are there? Anything that isn't online? Or anything online that actually works. It seems everyone in Donegal is " discreet ". So discreet they never meet anyone. What happened to conversation and laughs. I'm into watching football, which seems atypical. Not into Madonna, Britney or Eurovision. More of a man's man, except in the sack, ( or car or couch or wherever). Bald/shaved head, hairy body. If any of the above is remotely interesting and your conversation starter isn't pics or top or bottom, feel free to reach out please. Respect and laughter are sexy.

I 15m have seen a lot of media to do with anti lgbtq and other types of things (in a negative fashion). So I'm wondering is being LGBTQ in Dublin like, dangerous?

I've tried to find a bf and gf but it's hard especially at this age.

I'm tryna join a foroige group. But idk.

Also am extremely closeted cuz I don't want to be bullied in school and etc.

Also am a femboy so that adds on to this whole thing of not wanting to be bullied.

Good evening, also throwing myself out here if anyone would like to chat. The apps aren't any use. Love house, electro and pop music. Love to travel, nights in and out. Say hello!

I am 25 and recently broke up with my partner of 6 years and have been very isolated since and want to get out more and have some more irl friends as opposed to all my online friends from abroad.

I like gaming and nerd stuff like Warhammer. Would like to get outside more and get fit, but I don't really know or have the confidence to start so just looking for suggestions?

Guys I have a question, where do I find a bf in limerick..🥲 like just wanna know. Apps are bs. Fun fact im 19. It's age the issue? Another fun fact i came here for uni I aint from limerick. I just wanna know what the people's experience is tbf.

I’m 28F & all my friends have moved to Australia & beyond. I’m absolutely stumped at this ripe old age on how to actually find/make more friends?
I’m not keen on meeting friends through apps etc but I’d be happy to attend events & cluerbsss to find a few new friends of Judy’s!
Any recommendations? Whether it’s hiking, specific interest nights, sports etc just queer events + where to find them LOVE YA🫶🏻
