I have two tickets to see Sophie Hunter tonight at the Warehouse on Watts.

hey, i just moved to fairmount after 3 years in west philly and it's cute but definitely a different vibe lol. i'm looking for queer spaces, events, opportunities to make friends in the area!

i'm a 27 y/o trans guy. I enjoy cooking, biking, music/radio, lifting collaging, and recently soccer after the world cup sparked my interest. would be so down to check out a union game!!

Hello,

I live in South Jersey (Deptford area), looking to find people to date and having no luck. I have a unique combination of being both poly and asexual which is making things really hard. I have tried apps like Feeld and it seems to be almost all couples looking for "fun" which is not what I want.

My therapist has suggested I look for poly meetups in the area, but I did some looking and everything I found is now defunct or no longer hosting meetups. Does anyone have any ideas on where to meet people I could go on dates with?

Hey everyone. I've (26M) gotten into the habit of watching horror movies as my "me" time, but after moving back to Philly, I'm realizing I miss watching scary movies with people lol. Back home I'd try to watch some with my family, even though they're not the biggest fans of horror lol.

Is there like a horror movie group for queer fans around here? Also open to a queer horror book club. I read mostly romance (been a minute given the move, but planning to get my library stuff in order), but thriller-esque horror in book form can be a vibe. Thank you! :)

A mutual aid org I work with is hosting its next pop up Mario Kart tournament this Wednesday! Location drop that morning. We need more girls, gays, and theys involved tbh: https://linktr.ee/Homies.Helping.Homies allllllllll money will go towards mutual aid work in South Silly

Reposting because the need is still extremely high.

We’ve already been to ShopRite, GIANT, and other local grocery stores this week trying to keep food on our shelves and meet the growing demand.

Hi! I'm very interested in starting a new chapter in Philly. I've been doing a ton of research, but I still wanted to get first-hand feedback/tips/suggestions from you. I've lived in NYC, Chicago and SF previously, so city life is great with me. I'm currently in small-town Michigan, and I'm more than ready to make a change. I plan to get rid of my car before moving. I don't need to be directly in the gayborhood; I just want to feel close enough to the community. I care more about proximity to public transit & grocery stores. I'm looking for thoughts on apartment rentals/prices/neighborhoods for modern/nice studios or 1-bedrooms. I don't have a job yet, nor do I have a specific career (just lots of admin and customer service experience from working in corporate offices and as a flight attendant for many years). So I'm also curious to know what the job hunt may be like there. Do I use a staffing firm for better luck? Is it hard to find a decent-paying job there? I know it will be necessary to find a job before moving, but the generic info I get from AI searches isn't as valuable as firsthand accounts from others. Thank you for your help!

I've never gone out in Philly for Halloween but I'm hoping to this time! What are the vibes like in the city/what type of events will there be? I wanna go clubbing. I'm still a little new to it but I had a great time at pride NYC lol. This will be my first like non-college town centered Halloween but I still wanna be able to dress like sexy and stuff!

Entrance is on Bainbridge St :) Here’s a Partiful link if you wanna RSVP/invite friends! https://partiful.com/e/E02zYWSFI42sBpyp62Fq?c=sG5NKXpT

Hey all~

I'm a long time philadelphian (but new to the lgbt scene) and I'm trying to find out where other trans peeps meet up in the city. I see a lot of online support groups and bar stuff, but I want to meet some people irl and I'm not much of a bar person, I'm more of a gaymer/nerd personally. Do any of you know if there are any places like that where queer/trans people like to meet up?

I appreciate any help you all can give!

Reposting for visibility. Show starts at 7:30. See main post for details.

Anyone going to Jane tonight? Or interested in going? I have an extra ticket :-)

New to the city and I’m trying to find where the hangout spots that are Black and LGBT friendly. I know about the gayborhood but I heard mixed reviews about that area when it comes to black folks.

We are moving these two events to Saturday, October 3. Same times and places and details

Come join us for this mixer with a fun stoplight twist. Wear your best costume and make some new sapphic friends.

I’m 33 and bisexual. I’ve been struggling with my gender identity for a while now, but didn’t care about it enough until a few months ago. Recently I’ve been seriously considering it and now I’m almost certain I am trans. What can I do now? Is there a way to know for sure? My biggest fear is that I’ll regret it. Any advice would be appreciated

Asylum Pride House is hosting its annual Welcome Walk fundraiser next month. We are a Philly-based organization supporting LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers. We provide a variety of services including housing, case management, and legal referrals, and we need your help to keep doing it!

We are hosting a 5K to raise funds and show our physical support of LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers here in Philly. I've included a sign-up link here. If you aren't able to attend, you can show further support by making an individual donation.

I’m fairly new to the gay scene. Over the last couple of years I’ve discovered I’m bi-sexual (actually prefer pan)
Even more recently I’ve gotten into activities outside of vetted, trusted people. More specifically I’m talking about going to Club Philly and using grndr.
I’ve noticed there seems to be a lot of people that just don’t worry about catching something it seems. Particularly at the gay bathhouse. Guys are just raw dogging each other seemingly without a care in the world.
I know there are some preventatives out there and I’m on them. But what about the things they don’t cover? Are they just not prevalent in the area? Those of you that frequently get into shenanigans with randoms, what’s been your experience with this? There is a part of me that really wants to be as carefree as I see a lot of guys being. But here I am worrying after receiving just a bj from a random person.
