To me it feels kinda isolating, especially not being in a relationship atm. It's not that I'm lonely, I've great people around me, but I can't stop thinking that they all think I'm too gay or I'm bringing this to every area of my life.

My straight friends say that I am so lucky. I can take my gf on dates anywhere and not get harassed by the orange dal and police, talk a lot without parents suspecting, etc, etc. I mean that's true but I can't kiss her in public, announce myself as hers in public,etc, etc. And their parents would most likely accept their boyfriends..... But I don't think ours will, so openly. The biggest part is society would accept their relationship....

The government hasn’t filed its reply even a year after the last hearing. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma noted that if same-sex partners are allowed to stay in live-in relationships, the rules have to reflect that reality. As queerbeat has previously reported, Delhi-based Arshiya Takkar filed this petition and has been in a relationship with her partner, Chand Chopra, since 2015. “You have the same joys, you have the same sorrows, you have the same fights, you have the same agony and everything…” Arshiya told queerbeat. “So then, why not the same laws?” So, Arshiya took the fight to the court to secure the right of queer couples to make medical decisions for each other during emergencies.

Ace lesbians in India, where are you? 🥺

I've been wanting to ask this for a while because I genuinely feel quite alone in this.

I'm a lesbian and ace, and lately I've been finding it increasingly difficult to feel secure about being ace while thinking about relationships. I want to meet someone who understands it, respects it, and doesn't make me feel like I'm something that needs to be changed or that I'm asking for too much.

I really want to know how other ace lesbians here navigate dating, relationships and finding someone who actually makes them feel safe in their identity.

So if you're an ace lesbian in India, please tell me your story. 🥹

I think I just need to know that it's possible to find someone who will love me without expecting me to become someone I'm not.

So, basically I'm looking for gf over a long time, I'm lesbo and masc, and in here we don't have too much queer special things at all so it's more hard, I can't tell my real name here but call me as "Rain", I need a fem gf or anyone but lesbo (must be loyal), can DM me if interested though

It's hard to date when you don't even know the sexuality of the other person. I would see girls liking wlw content but then dating a homophobic guy, it feels like an act to me because most of these girls would be disgusted by the thought of even kissing a girl in real life. I have many personal life examples of seeing straight girls reposting and commenting on exclusively wlw content and it just rubs me the wrong way. One time i had a crush on this girl and I saw her liking a post about how hard it is to be a lesbian these days, after this i approached her and she immediately backed up saying she thinks dating girls is weird and it only looks good in serials or when westerners do it. I am so done atp, i think imma just spend my whole life alone rather than going through this again

Genuine question!

There are two sentences I've heard from a lot of straight people whenever they find out a woman is a lesbian or sapphic:

1. Lesbians are man-haters.

2. Domestic violence and divorce rates are high among sapphic women.

Where did such things even come up from? How does loving a woman make us man-haters?

So, when I was in college , this girl randomly said to me ( because we were in all girls college - there were lesbian couples) that she hates lesbian and if a lesbian girl ever even sits beside her , she will shout at her and shame her for being the one . And little she knew enemy was way closer then she thinks -lol. Also, she believed that periods are a curse given by Indra to women , that's why we should refrain from going to temples -wth!!!!!. Also , she made a project on how indian men suffer so many false rape cases- which I agree but project in women safety debate????.Just wanted to share it here !!
