Sapphic Sydney

I'm wanting to organise a picnic or similar for any lesbians with kids who might be out there. I have a few already interested in going but have not yet decided on a date. I'm organising it this way as the LIPPS days are no longer running so I thought i'd start my own. If you dont have kids you are still welcome to come along, its just it can be hard for some mums to get out at night so at least this way they can get out and meet other women and not have to find a babysitter.

Let me know if your interested.

I don't have children but I want to one day and it would be nice to meet some lesbians who have children/family.

I've only been exposed to the "nuclear family" and although I know it is absolutely possible for me to have children, I would still like to meet and hang out with some women who have children.

I would really like to come along to a pic nic and meet some people but I understand if it would not be appropriate.

You would definately be welcome to come along even if you dont have children. It can be confusing when you know your attracted to women but also know you want kids one day.  It would be a good chance for you to talk to others who do have children and girlfriends and find out what it was like for them and their families. 

 When I had my first child my girlfriend was the 'father'. After we broke up I thought I should try to be in a relationship with a man to give my son a 'normal' life but it didnt work out and most of the problem was, that I really still longed to be with a woman and was not happy.

I have friends who are gay and have children and have seen how it can work. So I decided I'd rather my kids have a happy mother who is comfortable in herself and her relationships, rather than an unhappy one trying to fit in.

I think if I hadn't had friends who were gay with kids then I might have felt differently but because I had seen first hand how the children handled it that it made the choice for me easier. So even if you dont have kids and are just wanting to know if lesbian familys can work your welcome to come along.

Hi

I would also like to join the picnic however I am also childless.  If this isn't an issue then I will definetely come along 

Thanks

Im sure that our friends jessie and roxy would like to go - they both have kids. And those of us who dont can come along anyway... for moral support! 

Does anyone know if rainbow families is running in Sydney? They have a great community in Victoria. 

thanks littleladybug, that's exactly the idea that I was getting at, just to be exposed to lesbian families and see how it's done etc :). so, i'm excited for this event and to meet some amazing and inspiring women. Are you any closer to settong a date/venue?

sounds interesting

when you plan to do it:)

I have recieved a lot of interest in this idea so its time to get something organised. I was thinking of holding it in May on Sat 22nd or Sun 23rd (depends which day most are available), at Parramatta Park.

This is not just for lesbians with kids, its an open invitation to anyone who is interested in having children,  or  if you like to play with kids and would want to meet some new people.

Please let me know which day suits best and I hope to see you there.
