So.

I am guilty of not visiting this thread like I should, but I will now.

Lets get some threads moving around here. I'll start.

I'm Tara and am a big ol lesbian.

I paint, sketch, and sometimes write really bad stories I force my girlfriend to read and comment on. Eventually I would like to be a fulltime artist. Right now I answer the phone for a toyota dealership. But it pays my bills and buys my art supplies.

I have the most awesome girlfriend ever. She does cancer research. She knows nothing about art, but I know nothing about science so it works out. She keeps me grounded and I keep her young.

I live in Louisiana and I'm out which is harder than it sounds as I'm in shreveport and not in New Orleans. I want to someday move to Austin where I will certainly help to "keep austin weird". They have a good science community too which is important to my babe.

Anyway. Who's next?:smile2:

Hi all!

I was banded this past late June 2008. I live in Houston with my partner of 5 years. Life is GREAT, I never imagined how good it could feel loosing weight.

Thanks for the Thread!

Hi new people.

Anyone watch the Palin and Biden last night? Constitutional gay rights but not civil???

Curious.

Hey Juli, I did.

I wasn't totally happy with either answer...but I know that we have to do these things in steps. Right now my concern is for the country surviving after all the abuse Bush put it through. So constitutuional rights is a start and as soon as I get that I will be on the front lines of the fight to have the right to marry.

I think that Bidden doesn't care if we get married, I honestly don't think that McCain or Obama does either. Saying that they believe in the term "gay marriage" I do think would cost them the election, as much as it pains me to say. But the younger generations are coming up there. I think in the next 10 years, if we keep fighting we will have federally recognized gay marriage. The old prejudice farts can't live forever. There will always be the Palins of the world, but we are going to outnumber them.

Thats my two cents.

I heart lesbians.

We rock. Generalizations and all. Nothing like talking to a like-minded gal.

Hi all,

I'm Macro (37yo female) from Australia. Banded on 2nd July, 2009. I have just had my second fill and am now really learning the lesson of chewing and eating slowly. Didn't have ANY restriction with first fill, and didn't think the second one would make a difference either (how wrong was I!!?)

So glad to have found this LGBT forum, thank you so much whoever started it!!!

Hi Macro. Nice to have you.

I'm in Portland and we have a "keep Portland wierd" slogan as well. I am thinking maybe a lot of cities have it??? PS I just had my lap band surgery 2 days ago. So far so good... I'm very excited

Hey everyone! I just got banded Oct 30th and feel really good.

I am bi, I guess. I have had relationships with men and have met a lot of women, but usually I am just really attracted to women but not in a relationship way, if you know what I mean. I suppose one day I will figure it out. I am single now and just having fun.

Nice to meet you all!

where are all the queers? i am 37. female. live in south florida.

Welcome ladies as you can see our area is very slow but there are many of us out here. Good luck with your journies.

Hi!

My names MacKenzie, but you can call me Mackie, or Kenzie, or just plain ol' Mack. I'm 22 years old. I can't say that I'm a lesbian, or that I'm straight, I also cant say that I'm Bi. In my eyes, what one sex has to offer me so does the other.

Here's the funny thing, I like boys with long hair, and girls with short. Girls who dress in baggy jeans and skate shoes, and boy's who wear girl pants and converse.

I'm currently in a relationship, but its complicated. See I met him while in Dublin, Ireland, and well he's a local, so were doing the whole "long distance" thing right now. But he's visited once since I left a month and a half ago, and will be back in 4 days! I cant wait!

I've had more relationships with girls than I have guys, but my relationships with guys have lasted longer. I've fully come out to friends, but never thought to mention it to my parents. I know they'd be 100% supportive of it, but they basically already know what I do and with whom.

Im a girly girl, but cars are my passion. And basically anything else I can do with my hands. I fabricate with fiberglass and carbon Fiber alot...love making custom sub/speaker enclosures and such, but I also enjoy chick flicks and cut my own hair.

Any cool people use Facebook? lols...I'm a junkie.
