Lesbian Roar

Walking around and listening to the women of this city it is very evident that being gay in the south is no easy task. In fact most women here do not even tell their families it seems. Often ladies share that it would hurt them if there family knew they were gay, and if they are aware it’s not something that is discussed openly. There are many countries, cities, and towns on our little blue planet where we can live as proud lesbian women. We can be respected for our rights and choices as human beings.

Progress is slow, however, what are my fellow lessies doing to break down barriers and educate are neighbors? Are we all working together to change this beautiful city into a rainbow friendly town or conforming to fears and insecurities? What are the messages we are sending to our coming out girls? Are we being responsible with the way we are paving the road for our future gay women? Are we promoting and encouraging gay businesses, artist, and professionals (case in point!)?

Lesbians around Columbia should be screaming their gay pride and fighting for equal rights and opportunities. None of us should be fearful of losing our jobs, friends, respect, or possibilities because we happen to love the ladies (and yes there are a lot of lovely ladies in this town to love)!

How are we to build security with are partners, wives, or girlfriends if we are scared or even worst indifferent. It’s hard enough to have a family, a relationship, a job, keep up with bills, or raise kids without having to live in a damn cave or closet! We are a privileged minority in terms of being able to conceal our gayness, and choose who we reveal ourselves too. That does not mean we should hide behind that fact. Fear breeds fear, meaning if you are not proud of who you are, how can your children be proud of the beautifully different family they belong too. Its the differences that make us unique not our similarities, therefore the lesson should be to embrace our uniqueness, not to run away from it!

We have the SC Equality http://scequality.org, Harriet Hancock Center http://www.scpride.org/TheCenter, and Rainbow Radio http://www.rainbowradiosc.com amongst others that represent the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community but they need support to spread the word and do their job. If you want things to change (and fair enough if you’re happy as is!) you have to ask for what you want, need, and wish for!

I am a proud lesbian mother residing in the beautiful city of Columbia, rise up and roar with me!

Lesbian Online Dating

 

Where are Lesbians meeting other Lesbians? Our community, as small as it is and as incestuous as it is known for has been having a hard time finding legitimate mates.

Many Lesbians meet there next partner through there ex (whom often they return to for a few more rounds) or in a bar (because the ladies do like to drink a fair bit) that it has become a challenging experience to find an interesting untouched female that has not been through the multiple girl circles we belong too.

In therapy I am constantly asked where do gay women meet up? Especially if you are in some kind of alcohol and drug recovery or have dated so many psychos in the same area code that you need a new hopeful experience! Well the Internet is the new way to date, actually not so new but where more and more gay woman are congregating to find their soul mate. Online you safely put a profile up, some nice photos and basically advertise yourself to the United States or even the world of Lesbians in search for love. In the sea of women, contacts are established; friendships are formulated and sometimes through the timeless romantic form of communication, known as “love letters” you find someone.

Most sites will even give you dating tips and create a safe environment to chat to individuals. Here are some Lesbian Guru safety tips (just in case!).

  • Get an anonymous e-mail account, most sites provide the mailing service. DO NOT give any personal information, it doesn’t matter how wonderful they sound. If they are that freaking wonderful they will still be like that a couple of weeks into the “getting to know you” process.
  • Be careful of your professional Psychodykos, these ladies have ALL the right answers; they tell you what you want to hear, and seem to be exactly what you’ve always wanted. It’s probably bulls–t. This is where the warrior princess in you smells the crap, so to speak.
  • You don’t have to respond to everyone, that makes you extremely codependent and you should see a therapist if you find yourself in that position.
  • Don’t expect a response from everyone, refer to third safety tip. This does not mean you are not worth a women time but unfortunately online you can meet multiple women simultaneous, which increase opportunities but also means people will find someone of interest fast and may not get back to you.
  • Don’t let too much time pass between e-mails, remember there are very few women out there that match your style, so work it but don’t go overboard to the point of desperation.
  • Be specific! So many profiles and responses generalize too much. For example “I like reading and watching movies,” good for you but so does every other person on the planet, what makes you unique?
  • But most importantly NEVER say “I love you” before you’ve met. Trust me on this one it will feel so much more real in person when you are looking deep into their eye “soul gazing.”

It may not be as romantic as walking into a room and crossing eyes with a soul mate you never knew you had but it could expand your search and teach you to move slowly and get to know someone before you get too close. After all if it’s an unforgettable Lesbian Love Story you want then time should be the teller.
