Hey will be going to London this weekend, any recommendations for queer sex- positive berlin-like techno raves? Or any queer sex-positive clubs w/ dark rooms? Checked some out on IG but apparently nothing going on this weekend..

Thanks!!

Hey guys!! I (F22) just moved back home to London after finishing uni and I'm really keen to join a martial arts (ideally Kickboxing or Muay Thai) club/organisation centred around queer women. I competed a lot in uni and absolutely LOVED it and very much want to continue training, but I've been struggling to find a club that suits my vibe since most are either all men or just don't have a good sense of community. Another issue is that Muay Thai gyms are usually SO expensive oh my god. And I am a bit broke. My absolute ideal situation would be to meet other WLWs to spar with on the park, have meet ups to train together casually etc. Does anyone know of something like this? Otherwise, I was thinking of setting up something informally if anyone would be interested...

Hello everyone! How did everyone's Pride go yesterday? Any first timers and what did you think of this experience?

Anyone going Howl alone and want to meet let me know

Would love to go as I unexpectedly got the evening off work but tickets are sold out... hmu if you're looking to get rid of yours!

I guess Pride month is officially over, but homophobia continues unabridged on British social media.

In the last two days I’ve seen homophobic comments on Facebook responding to posts in LGBTQ+ groups, and, upon clicking on the commenters profiles, I saw that the individuals are part of prominent businesses in London.

One is the owner of a pub history walking tour in London, with 24.3k followers on Instagram. The post was about Russia jailing 3 LGBTQ+ nightclub staff for ‘LGBT extremism’. The commenter stated, “And Russia are supposed to be the bad guys? Love this.”

The other was a post by a very prominent queer artist/activist about Slovakia’s constitutional changes banning LGBTQ+ adoption, and the commenter responded with, “I might move there. Sounds better than here.” Turns out this commenter is the drummer in a band that is playing at the Priory Love Music Festival in Kent on 18th July. The band only has ~3,700 followers on Instagram, but are distributed by Sony Music, are about to release a new record, and will be performing alongside Professor Green and Republica.

Per the rules in this group, I’m not sure I’m allowed to name and shame (I took screen shots of everything), but I wanted to ask if there’s a better way to raise awareness or call for boycotting the walking tour and the band, because I gather there will be LGBTQ+ Londoners who might inadvertently support these homophobic businesses without realising it. I hadn’t heard of either before, but am now aware not to support them.

London should not be a city where these views are supported or encouraged, nor should they go unchallenged.

I'm 80 percent attracted to women and 20 percent attracted to men but would date all genders. What is this called? Very rarely trans and non binary people.

Heading to the Adonis pride party solo tomorrow. I could only get a pre-11am ticket so will be there nice and early.

I have some sense of the general vibe although I’m curious about what the energy levels will be like earlier in the party and when the majority of the crowd will show up?

More wondering about some practicalities - are there any lockers / cloak room (and if so, how crowded / easy to use)? And is there food there (or do I need to pack some museli bars to get me through the full day!?).

Any other general advice / tips much appreciated! Thanks very much.

Anyone closer to my age that would like to go with me? I wanna go to heaven after

I'm heading to London pride for the night life on Saturday as I'm in the area due to travelling with work.

I wanted to ask if bars/clubs will let me in solo as I've read online that some bars don't allow this?

I'm mainly trying to aim for the bears/cubs places

I have any time ticket entry, so I’ll be going there in the evening but solo

I was hoping to go to London pride 2026 this week but I don’t have anyone to go with me, so I am a bit nervous going. I am generally a bit of an anxious person so I am a bit unsure on whether or not I should attend. I am hoping to go see the parade but I don’t know any other places to go visit during the day but if anyone has any recommendations on where to go or what to do during pride it would be appreciated 😅

What is my sexuality? I need help figuring it out. \[F 22\] I'm 80 percent attracted to women and 20 percent attracted to men I'm mostly attracted to women and feminity in men and women. but would date all genders. What is this called? Very rarely trans and non binary people

Hi everyone!

I'm 24 and I'll be in London on Friday, 3 July. I'm looking to meet some fellow LGBTQ+ (queer) people to explore the city together. Whether it's grabbing coffee, checking out markets, wandering around, visiting markets, or just having a good conversation, I'm up for it.

I'm a very talkative and easygoing person, so I'd love to meet new people and make some friends.

📅 Date: Friday, 3 July 2026

🕑 Time: 2:00 PM onwards

📍 Location: Anywhere in London

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM. Looking forward to meeting some awesome people! 😊

Hello,

Just wondering what the vibe is at the party? I'm stuck on what to wear. Something to sweat in, something a bit nicer/classy or something plain?

Any advice is very welcomed :]

Do we think Madonna will make an appearance at London Pride?
