So I've been here for a little bit and wondered, I know there's explicitly a Trans Philadelphia server (the mods suck), and others are dead as doornails. but is there one for just all queer folks of Philly or is it just this reddit? And if so how many people would be interested in a Discord server cuz I want a space for all of us to co-exist.

I know this isn’t the right place. But is there a good sub for gay hookups in Philly?

Any nudist or nude events in Philly? Any gay bars that allow nudity?

I’m visiting Philly tomorrow and I’m seeing various things that say Bike Stop has a jockstrap night on Mondays. Is this legit? What does this usually look like? Is everyone just in a jock and nothing else? Is full nudity allowed?

I’ve been sober since January and I’m really proud of myself. I’ve worked really hard in therapy and I’ve obviously had my ups and downs and slip ups but I haven’t beaten myself up over it, I’ve just held myself accountable and gotten back up and kept on keeping on.
I’ve recently been struggling more with my mental health and would like to go to an LGBTQ+ focused AA group to find more support and make some sober friends and to more importantly not want to drink my feelings. Do any of you all know of any groups or resources? I’ve tried to find some on the internet but it just turned into convoluted clicking link after link. I know of one in Rittenhouse but I can’t remember for the life of me where it’s held. Thank you all <3

I’m pretty new to Philly in the Rittenhouse area and would like to make some friends at a trans friendly bar, I’m kind of intimidated to go to a new bar by myself 😅 where would be the best place to go to meet new people?

Okay, so I plan on moving to Philly. I'm a DJ and heard the DJ scene in Philly is where it's at! It's just gonna be me and my baby girl, Willow (a 6-year-old cat). I DON'T have a car, nor do I plan on getting one. I wanna be around the young black creatives! I wanna be safe too. If not Germantown, where? I wanna be around young black folks!

Hello everyone,
I’m a 24 year old lgbtq AA girl who’s moving to Philly by December/ January. Anyone else doing the same thing? I am trying to learn as much as possible before I move there.

I know this may be fairly niche, but we’re looking for gymnastics lessons for our trans daughter (under 10). She took boys’ lessons previously before she came out. We’re just looking for recreational lessons at this point, nothing competitive. Any leads on a Philly gym that would be a good fit for her?

Hey folks! I'm so excited for my 4th year attending the Philly Naked Bike Ride. I'm 37 M, making the trip up from DC, and looking to connect with fellow riders.

I'm usually at the pre-ride meet up point painting riders, and I'm in town for the weekend. It'll be a lot of people, if you're keen to connect, and would enjoy having company, feel free to message!

I moved here 2 weeks ago and still can’t find a job. If anyone has leads on FOH positions for restaurants or barista jobs, that would be amazing, also want to at concert venue. Thank you 😍

Hi! I'm a 27y/o trans guy seeking a room ASAP to rent/sublet for 3 to 6 months! My GF and I are going on a break and decided I would move out of our apartment in Spruce Hill.

I need:

- queer/trans friendly roommates

- outside spruce hill neighborhood

- decently quiet 8:30-5

- access to public transit

I prefer:

- <$600/month

- south/southwest neighborhoods

- roommates mid-twenties and up

- non-smoking

- a bathtub(lol)

About me, I enjoy cooking, radio, organizing, karaoke, lifting, birding, biking. I work remote for a hospital so I would be spending a lot of time at home.

While I'd prefer not to live in west philly, I accept it may be tough to find something that fits my preferences outside it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DM me if we seem like a match or if you have any leads!

Thanks!!
