This feels like a weird question to ask, but with some of the posts I’ve seen about legends lately, I wanted to at least ask the community for some opinions.

I’m a 41 year old male that has been starting to question my gender and sexual identity. I’ve gone out in public in a few places in my feminine mode and am thinking about trying to push through some of my barriers.

I saw that flex has an early drag show tonight.

I was hoping to go tomorrow but am not doing hopscotch and am thinking downtown might be nuts, so i was thinking about going out tonight.

I’m a pretty shy, nervous person when I’m dressed up. I will very much be a guy in women’s clothes and a wig on.

I’m mostly wondering if the drag show at flex is going to be a safe, friendly place for someone like me to be. I’ll be solo, which isn’t going to help my confidence.

Are there any other, better options for me than flex tonight or tomorrow? Willing to go to Durham or some other place if it means I find a queer friendly crowd.

Thank you!!

Hey everyone just found this group. I have been living in the Brier creek area for about 3-3.5 years now. I dont get out much as most club scenes etc just dont interest my anymore im 46. I live with my best straight friend of 14 years and we have for the past like 6 years. I have been cool with just life how it is in general but recently he started dating someone and I realized I am literally alone and bored out here. I am really wanting to meet people to hang out with, do things maybe just socialize in general. Not a sob story but with all my family dead except my sister it makes life pretty rough sometimes and people to talk to etc would be great. I literally have 0 gay friends and even talking to the straight roommate things in my life he just doesnt get at all. haha. I have looked up groups online and stuff but not having luck finding anything. I am into lots of things, Movies and TV, Computers, Hydroponic gardening which I love, 3D printing, Cooking. I love lots of things. I would love recommendations and points in the right direction. Like I said hes dating someone now and it's become really apparent I reply on him a LOT in the friends/non sexual relationship type thing. I def need other people to be around haha.

A dear friend lives in a small beach town. He is the happiest soul and most beautiful human. He is also Black and gay. The town he lives in is not diverse. At All. The people who know him love him. But I can feel some eyes on him when we are out together. We are thinking of a small beach house for now and possibly a place to retire in the future. Any suggestions?

Hey y'all! My girlfriend and I love to hike and enjoy visiting NC/VA State Parks. Sometimes we pick Air Bnbs in small, rural towns neaby. We've found that some are quite welcoming while some have seemingly very hostile vibes where we have felt pretty unsafe holding hands, etc. etc... We are curious to know other's experiences (and perhaps recommendations, besides your more obvious Boone/Asheville) Any insight would be appreciated >:)

Ideally closer to the southern parts of the triangle, nearer Harnett County

For context, I have an appointment in a week

Hi! My partner and I (lesbian couple) are thinking about beginning our fertility/parenthood journey, and I’m curious if there are any LGBT specific parent groups around here. I know there are lots of parent groups that are open to everyone, but I’d love to be able to connect with other queer families. Mostly I’d just love to talk to queer parents about their experience becoming parents, adoption vs conception, how they navigate homophobia, etc.

Hey there, new to Reddit, somewhat new to the triangle area, (31F, living in Raleigh but open to hoping in the car around the area!), and looking for queer women’s spaces in pretty much any form—activity groups, book clubs, support spaces for navigating identity, etc. Looking for friends and a supportive space to get involved in and would appreciate any help y’all might have!

I'm looking for a haircut like this but everytime I go to a stylist they give me a fucked up pixie. I tried an lgbt shop in Durham but they completely fucked my hair up. What places are good these days?

I’m having no luck with getting any ideas of where I can go in the Triangle are that would welcome someone who is curious but not sure of it. I’ve always been extremely attracted to trans women and feminine men and curious about sexual relations with them both. I know it’s tough “breaking into” the LGBT community, especially at my age. Guess I need some friends here to help guide me. Male, female. Anyone. I’m just looking direction.

Please don’t bombard me with penis pictures. That’s happened on other subs and caused me to question if I really need to continue my search or just live confused and uncertain.

NFL season is starting soon! Tired of watching NFL games alone or at places that aren’t the vibe? I’m trying to organize a group of queers to watch games with! Fill out my Google survey if you’re interested!

I am a new homeowner and I have been wanting to hire a handyman/handy-person but I would ideally love to hire someone who is also queer or queer friendly at least. There are also a few other types of specialized contractors I need to hire, but if anyone knows any queer contractors of any type I would love to have their info in case I need anything in the future.

Thanks in advance!

So... I have had 2 girl crushes in my life, but was always too scared to admit it to myself. I have been in two marriages to toxic men and am currently separating from my second, with whom I have a beautiful 1 year old little girl. I have noticed that I have been feeling vibes from women when I am out and about and actually feeling drawn to them romantically. I am confused but want to explore this new side of me. I am so excited/scared. My family is Mexican Catholic, and although they are super supporting and loving. I know this would be a a hard transition. I obviously will do what is best for me and my girl. Anyways, I am wanting to connect with maybe some local women who have gone through the same and talk and maybe connect. I am in Burlington, NC, but frequently travel to Durham and Chapel Hill.

Anyone want to help with this?? Haha please let me know!

My daughter lost it near the North end of Fayetteville St (near Birdie's).
