Moderators kimi Posted April 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2020 It's quite important for me to have quality friends who I can connect with on all levels and who also get me on all those levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite key as long as we share the same core values, which for me are really just kindness, respect and honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althena Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I love my chose family and queer friendships. It's nice having people to be open, honest, and your true self with, talk crushes, heartbreak, family disapproval, keeping secrets, discrimination, monogamy -or not- and all the other things that we deal with as queers. Community of queers are so important... I also keep some straight friends just to see how those ones function. You know, get out of my amazing bubble every so often and engage with them so I know the amount of work still needed to be done. Cos your friend will say she gets you, she is okay with you, then in the next breath insult gay men and how she 'doesn't get this whole anal sex'. Exhausting, these straight people in our lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamgal Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I treat every lgbt person I meet as family. It's nice to have people you can truly be yourself with, but my friendship with them is mostly on the surface and usually restricted to lgbt ish. I don't know how to have deep friendship with women for some reason, and never had a gay friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimy Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Honestly I connect more with irreligious folks than gay ones. Blaspheming with fellow infidels is more fun for me. The few irreligious queer folks I know, we share and discuss more on our lack of belief than as lgbt members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBanks Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It’s cool to have people who understand a different side to you sometimes. Important?! 🤔 Well, I guess but not like my life depends on it or something 🤷🏽♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
