Sapphic Sydney

Just thought we needed everyone else to pull their heads in and say "Hey-lo!".

That and I just joined hahaha. Looking through the members page makes me feel slightly stalkerish so... I thought it better to just wander on in here and form a loving post of my own.

[That and following Claire's example in the last section of the Welcome post. Ooo look at me quoting other sections of the sight, how exciting~!.... uhh]

Name: Stephanie, otherwise known as Steph

Age: Newly 19

Sign: Libra

Blabberings:    WELL!! Been bi-sexy for quite some time. Had an interesting history... But, despite all of this, completely unaware to a lesbian/bisexual/trans community for les femmes in Australia, let-alone Sydney. hahah should have gone looking earlier in the piece. Anywho.... I don't know what else to mention really... 

But um..

Everyone come and make a post XD;; Your portfolios are all rather lacking so come introduce yourself in your most witty ways~!

<3 

Hi Steph

Hi guys!  I'm new as well.  I've never been to Australia before - I'm coming at the end of this month and staying for about 5 months.   Anyone have advice for a newbie?  Haha...what's the lesbian scene like out in Sydney?

Hey dudes. I've been a member for a while (before the old forums got replaced) AND I'M IN NEED OF GAY FRIENDS. Yeah. Peace out.

Hi Girls!

It seems like there are a few girls looking to make some new friends here... how would you feel about a casual meet up?

Kirle - sorry about the old forums! But it seems now that we have the members feature that people interacting more anyway.

Casual meet up would be great. I remember there was a discussion in the old forum but never happened hahaha

There's definitely more interaction now. I can only hope the site will grow more.

i think a meet up wud be great.

i wud really like to meet more ppl and make some new mates.

If a meet up is organised I'll definitely come along.

Hey everyone, 

My name is Kat. I Just joined thought I'd say hey to everyone here... I'm definitely up for meeting new people because I just moved to the city recently so I don't know many people around town....

Hey, my names Tamara.

I'm a newbie to this site, despite the fact that Ive been lurking for ages.

I'd love to make new friends. I don't live far from the city, but the gay community is so dead where I'm from.

Leah - When are you arriving in Sydney? Im trying to set a date for the meet up but even if you miss it im thinking a monthly thing might be cool.

Kat - Where did you move from? Do you like Sydney so far?

Tamara - Im so excited that i have lurkers!! haha anyway which area are you from? I think the gay community is pretty gay in every area bar inner west.

I too have been lurking on the outskirts. Have been using this site for quite some time to look up events (What night Luscious is on, etc etc) and finally took the time to sign up!

I am a Kiwi, lived in SA for two years and have been in Sydney for just under a year. I have met a lot of great girls since moving to Sydney but they all seem to be travellers and move on a few months into friendship! So I too am up for casual meet up/coffee/drinks to meet some permanent Sydney girls.

If I have to label myself I feel more comfortable with being called a lesbian but still enjoy dalliances with men. I went with Bi Sexual for a while but copped it from both sides with "when are you going to choose?"

So there you go, a big Hey-Lo! to you all

Gabrielle

Ha ha. It seems you have a few lurkers Claire!

I'm from the Sutherland Shire. For those of you who aren't familar with the area. It's just south of Sydney, where the Cronulla riots occured.

Does that set the scene for you? Ha ha.

Most of the girls and guys where Iive have bleach blonde hair, (oh so attractive) and fake tans. It's a very conservative area. And one of the most white towns you have ever seen. If people ever find out that I'm gay, it's usually followed by, "Oh my god! I've never met a lesbian before!" As though I'm a strange new species.

Hey gabrielle, you chould come to Snatch some time and say hi.

It sucks that you feel the pressure to have a lable, but I guess that's just human nature. And I especially know what you mean about the 'bisexual stigma'. I suppose one of the biggest issues for real bisexuals, is the girls who play that card for male attention. I have been hurt many times by girls who claim that they're 'bisexual' only to find out later that they're only doing it for the guys, or merely 'experimenting'. Experimentation is fine, but I just wish that their intentions would be made clear first.

So I do feel for you, and your situation. It would be great if men could get past this whole 'girls hooking up is hot' attitude, then these problems might not occur.

Snatch and Grab is great but I'm a big nana and like to be in bed by 11 on week nights.. I will go next RDO I have though :p Do you go often?

I don't really feel pressure to have a label, it would just be easier I guess. Not as much of an explanation. It doesn't bother me too much though!

I've found lesbians tend to ignore bi-sexuals as well. I guess because, like you said, they have had bad experiences with woman who are just experimenting, its hard to accept there are some of us who really do have both mental and physical feelings towards both sexes.

Hey Guys! Im kinda new, but havent really introduced myself yet

Okie Dokie- I am a pansexual, that it, I don't see in terms of 'gender' or 'sex' but in terms of emotion. I am more PHYSICALLY attracted to women though. I was raised EXTREME catholic so I grew up being brainwashed into homophobia my whole life, so when I started having feelings for men and women, I forced myself to ignore those feelings and as a result I slipped into a Major Clinical Depression. I was in that state for 2 years until I found my idol Davey Havok who really helped me accept who I am. I havent come out to my family yet as I rely heavily on my family for security and I honestly am so scared of being kicked out and what not. When I came out to my friends, I lost alot of them as I went to an Opus Dei High School who have massive predjudice against anyone who isnt 'mainstream'. Fortunatley I have about 4 really close friends who have stuck by me  So all is good!

I study Psychology and Philosophy at uni, which I LOVE! I only came out mid 2008 and have never had a 'relationship' since that point. I love going out on the scene but unfortunatley I only manage to get out once or twice a fortnight... I would love to make some more connections in the Gay community!

Anyway, I realise thats alot of personal information, but I feel as though most you you would have had similar experiences so I feel totally comfortable opening up to you guys

Hi, I'm new!

Karla, 23, Sydney.

Have identified as a bisexual for around 7 years, however didn't make it known until about 4 years ago when I engaged in my first long term relationship with a girl.

I've not yet worked up the courage to go to any lesbian club nights. I've always been of the opinion that I would be seen as a 'fake' amongst that scene as the term bisexual seems to be thrown around loosely by a lot of girls these days.

Would be lovely to meet some like-minded people to such things with.
