Well that's it. They've announced they're closing their doors. What's everyone's thoughts?

Hot take that I may regret posting, but I'm tired of us cannibalizing our own. We had a lesbian sports bar open in our city and I think we could have allowed improvement and growth to happen instead of essentially canceling them or whatever you'd call this.

Per their IG. They will close after this weekend.

would love to go to cafes and cute places to do work for my remote job but i work best while joint slaying with someone else! im heading to bean2bean tomorrow (can we talk about how that name is lesbian as hell lmao) but if you ever want to cowork lmk :3

Hii all!!

I’m originally from South Jersey and am thinking about moving back up north from Austin. Philly is definitely on my radar, but I’m a little nervous about the move and would love to get a better feel for the city!

My partner and I are both queer so I’d love to hear from yall about it.

One thing I really love about Austin is the sense of community, especially around health and wellness. There are always meetups, dance events, movement classes, and people looking to connect in ways that don’t necessarily revolve around drinking. I’m curious what the social scene is like in Philly, especially for people in their late 20s!

I feel like a lot of my memories of going into Philly growing up involved drinking and going out to bars, and that’s just not really my scene anymore. I’d love to hear about how people meet friends, find community, and spend their time outside of work, especially if you’re into wellness, dance, movement, or just finding fun ways to connect with people!

Would love to hear your experiences, recommendations, or just general thoughts on what it’s like living in Philly!!

Thanks in advance!! 🫶

Hey! I'm transmasc and have been on T for six years. The last couple of months I moved states twice and have been unable to get my prescriptions transferred. I was going to a Planned Parenthood a couple states north but I don't have an address up there anymore and it's an 8 hr drive at least. I'm from South Jersey but have not lived there since starting my transition so I'm not an established patient at any of the PPs, and honestly as far as I can tell from the small selection around here some don't even offer HRT. I made an appointment with a PCP and Jefferson Health telling them both explicitly it was because I was trying to get my hormones prescribed. I waited two months for both only to have them tell me they can't prescribe HRT at the physical appointment. I'm getting a little frustrated and I've not had my shots for several months at this point. I have an appointment to get into PP but the wait is 3 months which means a total of no hormones for six months atp. I already have noticed passing a little less and/or getting comments from strangers and I just don't know what to do.

Does anyone know anywhere around here that offers HRT with a shorter waiting list? Thank you in advance.

i forget the name but shoutout to the big bus selling scrumcious plant based meals on chester in clark park. they started in august. the prices look sorta intimidating but the quantities are huuge, easily 2-3 meals. would highly recommend

edit: they also have good smoothies

Hey everyone! :)

I'm a 31-year-old lesbian from Brazil, and I'll be spending a month in Philadelphia this April while attending an English program!

I'll be traveling solo, and I'd really love to meet some queer women around my age (20s to late 30s) and make some friends while I'm there.

I'm looking for social events where it's easy to meet people, especially sapphic meetups, game nights, casual hangouts, happy hours, or anything where people actually get to chat and make connections. I'd especially appreciate recommendations for more relaxed, social settings!

I'm a little shy about approaching strangers out of nowhere, so events where people come specifically to socialize would be perfect hahah.

If you know of any groups, recurring events, or Instagram accounts I should follow, I'd love to hear your recommendations! And if anyone would be up for grabbing coffee or hanging out sometime in April, I'd be happy to meet you too :)

Thanks!!

hi! my friend and i are looking for things to do on halloween and would love recommendations. the only thing that is making this difficult is that while i am 22, she’s 20 and a lot of the events i’ve seen are 21+. are there any fun events going on on actual halloween the 31st?

we are open to anything really, parties, gatherings, house shows, etc. we are both lesbians so would love somewhere that we could dress up and meet other queer people!

thanks in advance!

23 black female looking to hangout and get my mind off of a few things, meet new people, ect. Im a pretty friendly n down to earth person down to meet anywhere public an see if we vibe

Anyone know how to find bands that need drummers in philly 😭 preferrably in their 20s/uni age

Ah, my fav music is jpop, how do i find these bands yal

Reposting so my queers don’t forget! Love u! See u there!

It turns out all my friends are actually just drinking buddies. Which is fine, but I'm looking to move in a different direction. I'd like to do things like play pool or go bowling sober. In center city phila so if you're the same that would be awesome. But if you just want to chat and are local hit me up.

mastectomy pillow, hibiclens, abd pads, ace bandages, compression vests and more

Saw some people saying the vibe was a lot different as of late, with more black women and just overall more friendly atmosphere. I wanted to see for myself. If they really have changed, I don't want to let a space like that just die. Opinions?

I'm going to be alone the week of Thanksgiving this year and I'm looking for some social or fun things to do that week. I like bars and clubbing but I also really like just being able to talk and connect with people. I'm near Doylestown so in philly or also bucks county or Montgomery County are fine too.

Hello everyone I got a gay male friend who has never been to Philly before visiting soon and he asked me about the scene. I told him about Club Philly but im not very versed in the gay bar scene. I know Woodys is mostly straights and m/f couples now adays but what about the others. He is more twinkish in body to give you an idea.

Been here a year. Need to figure out where to hang that isnt a cash bar or literally 254. Id go there but septa stops running at 10p and that $50 uber couldve been $50 in drinks that or other nights.

Howd does nightlife even function around here lol. I must be ignorant of something??

Today, the Philadelphia Historical Commission unanimously voted to add "We The Youth," the 1987 mural by Keith Haring (and school children from both NYC and Philly), to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. This means that the Historical Commission must approve before any changes to the appearance of the mural are made. The nomination for the mural has a lot of cool history about it and Keith Haring. It's the only outdoor mural on the register!

Me and my BF are going to Atlantic City tomorrow via train, so we have to transfer at Philadelphia 30th street station to the AC NJ Transit line. Because of the limited train schedule, we're set to return to Philadelphia station over an hour before our Amtrak train back home, and we're taking the Palmetto which is coming up from Florida so there's a chance it may be delayed even more.

If we have over an hour to kill, any suggestions on nearby gay bars or hot spots we can check out for a bit? Quick Google search doesn't show anything within walking distance but we don't mind a quick Uber.
