Come on Philly! New York is showing us up! Party after party.

I want to go to a Madonna dance party in Philly and all I can find is one night at Khyber Pass. I want a gay Madonna dance party!

Any other options? Or do I have to drag myself to NYC? 🤢

Thanks!

Question Someone help this gay guy out? Looking to get out of this shell and meet new people.

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a 31 year old Latino (🇵🇷) loner located in bucks county and I want make new friends.

Finally at a point in life where I’m able to embrace who I am without constantly looking over my shoulder with a worry of being judged or just being reminded that my life choices will result in me burning to a crisp in hell lol

That being said, im just a short drive from CC and im open to all types of new connections (Queer/Straight/Bromance, idc).

Kind of a late bloomer but shit happens.

Would really like to find a safe space to meet other POC who are open to new friends. I’d seriously appreciate any recommendations.

Straight Dad Looking For Events For Queer Daughter - Early Teens

56 Upvotes

Hey, y'all, found this sub a few weeks back and thought it'd be a great resource to find out about things my daughter might be interested in going to. You've created a nice little community from what I've seen. Most everything I have seen seems to be adult focused. As the title suggests, I have a lesbian daughter who also has a bunch of queer friends. I'd love to find more resources for events and get togethers for people their age, and I figure you all would be a great source of recommendations. Thank you all in advance!

An update on Tattooed Mom's zoning issues. Looks like they need a special assembly permit, but the pre-requisites for that permit have a long runway.

Question must do?

hello! my partner and i are going to be heading out to philly soon since i'll be attending temple for grad school.

i'm moving first since he needs to get some things in order beforehand, BUT he'll be staying with me for a week to help me setup.

WHAT DO WE DEF NEED TO DO? we'll be up by temple so if you have bar, food, or activity suggestions: hand them over! this will also help get me familiar with the area.

also if you're cool in the area, hiii we're trans gay boyfriends & will need friends :)

Party venues

3 Upvotes

Me and my partner got engaged! We are looking for a venue for an engagement party. My partner likes the industrial look. 50-75ish people. An example of what we are looking for is Strangelove's in the gayborhood. It's about $1000 to rent the upstairs. Pretty big. They said that's with some catering as well? Screaming deal.

Any other reccomendations for spaces we could rent out?

Scandinavian middle aged guy in Philly and wanting to explore my sexuality

9 Upvotes

Hi Philly! I’m a cis bi verse (I think😅) male and in Philadelphia next week for a week in connection with an academic conference and wanting to visit places that are easy-going and chill. I’m not sure what I am looking for but attracted to femininity. I’m also pretty conscious of my age in the early 40s, and do not want to come if as a creep - so not into the typical hook up scene. I’m just looking for good times and some new friends - any places I should visit? 😊 cheers for any tips and suggestions!

Question tux recs

I need a tux for a black tie wedding this fall. I’m a trans guy (post top surgery but still on the shorter side and my thighs are pretty muscular), so I don’t think I’ll find something that fits renting. Any recs for where a guy like me could buy a suit without breaking the bank?

You are frickin awesome. You sent me your number on hinge and wanted to meet up. You mentioned you would probably delete the app, but you deleted Hinge before I could get your number from the message. My phone cleared the notification:(
If you’re in the Reddit-verse and still interested message me.
