r/queerphilly

Looking to make friends with other sex-forward queers. Please recommend something other than Glittergasm! I’ve heard that there are groups on FetLife but I truly cannot figure out how to navigate that website. 😅 I really want to meet other sex positive couples/singles to play with and be friends with. Are there group chats or Discords I could join?

My roommate and I are looking for some queer art for our apartment and would love to know where we could find some local artists to patron.

We are both queer trans men and would like art that isn’t exclusive to one queer identity. (We are looking to purchase multiple prints and many artists we have found online appear to, for example, exclusively make sapphic art or gay male art. We want to purchase multiple prints and would like to showcase a larger representation of the community.)

I am aware of South Street Art Mart but it is the opposite of accessible. We both have limited mobility - and understand this is a real limitation in Philly and are happy to purchase prints online or directly from the artist.

Hey everyone! I'm a femboy looking to get into makeup for everyday wear and cosplay, and I've been told to go to a physical shop to get color matched. I wanted to see if there are any local places that are friendly toward gender non-conforming and trans people before I resort to a larger chain like Sephora, etc.

Hey queer philly! I just got referred to this group from r/philly. My partner and I are both trans and are thinking about relocating to Philly. I’d love to hear your thoughts on being trans in Philly, from day to day life to legal aspects. And, are there certain areas that are better for trans folks?

We’re both openly and visibly trans. Also, looking for a place with good transit since neither of us own cars anymore.

Thanks!

I'm just curious if there are any nudism/naturism groups in/around the city.

Preferably on the younger (under 40) side of things.

I know about Gunnison, the woods, moon grove and all that stuff, but like that's just a hassle to get to regularly

And yeah there's places that you can be naked like the bike shop or the spas, but I feel like nudity is just kinda incidental to the sex or spa aspects of them.

I'm talking like a group of people just like renting out a bar or game room or something just to relax and hang, while also just happening to be naked.

Not really looking for anything sexual, just like mutual interest in freedom or hatred of clothing

Edit: I should say I'm not opposed to helping start one up or something, I just have absolutely no idea what all would be required for something like that

I'm new to the area and have no friends lol 33M

Yeah, as the title says. Ive only seen ads for BOS, which has less than stellar music. Any other queer friendly or leaning dance parties going on this weekend?

Has anyone else gone to Val’s and the music wasn’t what you thought it was? We went to A$$ and Waist night expecting Caribbean type beats and it was all Lady Gaga and EDM

but where? all my friends are social workers. i'm trans and have met a lot of trans people in tech. yet, I have no one to talk to since I started in the field. if you are in tech let's talk!

i did service desk and am desktop support right now. I want to get out of corporate though. i dream of being a network engineer and working for a small company. anyone living that dream? everyone has computers yet it feels like no smaller companies are ever hiring for IT.

anyway, friends/colleagues? I want to feel less stuck on my own island. i want people to discuss what gaming PC i should get for fiancé.

Hi everyone! I’m (23 MTF) am moving to Philly to work with Americorps and am looking for a sublet or room for rent that I can move into before August 3rd. The absolute maximum I can pay is $850, but I would prefer to keep it below that price. I’m fairly quiet but love to make friends with my roommates in addition to cooking, listening to music, and playing video games and board games.Please DM me with any information. 

Additionally, if anyone is looking for a roommate I’m more than happy to room with others. I prefer other queer people, but I am open to anyone that is accepting. Like I said, I love making new friends and am fairly quiet and tidy.

edit: Looking in West Philly and Southeast Philly

Would love to know about any events happening on July 3rd and July 4th. My friends and I have absolutely no clue what we want to do. They don't have to be queer-related. Thanks for your help!

I like all kinds of dancing but if they play Latin music, Afro beats, funk/disco, you win. No techno. Low tolerance for top 100s of the past 30 yeas but will concede for good vibes.
Queer bars welcome and, honestly, preferred. If you say Woody’s… don’t.

Aloha all. My name is Gray I recently sold my home n the big island . With plans of purchasing in Philly . My two Great Danes Ziggy Stardust and Freddie Mercury and I land on the west coast planning on visiting my sister . Ziggy was diagnosed with a fatal heart condition the day after we landed . His vet had never caught it . We decided to stay here in Washington as he only had months to live . He passed in March and Freddie just passed yesterday . I am awaiting Freddie's ashes then I will fly out to Philly I can't be where they both passed any longer . I am looking for a short 6 month

If anyone knows of anything please let me now. I just really need a clean decent place to morn and get to know my new city as I look . Mahalo
Nui

Trying to get back to fitness and starting with walls, I'd love company on. I do about three miles a day but not if it's really hot. I'm easy to talk to, always affable, and open to connecting more than just walks
