is it possible for a schizophrenic lesbian with an inconvenient heart problem to find a decent girlfriend? av recently been told that there don't seem to be many women of this description who do find a decent girlfriend, and am talking about myself here. stigma and lack of understanding seem to have stymied me and other schizophrenic lesbians i know, and my heart problem makes me anxious not to travel, and very tired. how many lesbians like this do you know have formed healthy relationships with a significant other? av tried every avenue, and nothing works, lol. i suppose the logical answer would be for us schizophrenic lesbians to pair off, only there is the issue of compatibility. come on people, give us some hope, or at least help me fight the stigmas/stigmata. love and peace, swot xxx you are some of the most beautiful people i have ever come across. i love you. lol, lisa r, no, u are not my ex gf, my last gf was a psychopath, who clung onto me so she could bully me. what is the difference between loving somebody and clinging onto them? if i love somebody who does not want me, i set them free. if you really love somebody, u will do anything to make them happy, including leaving them alone, if that is what they want, which is what i myself do. you're right about strong people being magnets to maggots though, lol. thank you for your post though :o) btw lisa r chuk, ty for making my specs answer "the best"...just on purpose lol.

Lesbian and gay support in a small town? I am a lesbian and I live in a small country town where homosexuality is considered by many (but not all) to be "wrong". It's hard for me to travel to larger neighboring cities. It's hard not having any sort of support from like-minded people; I always feel isolated and different. Not to mention finding a date is near impossible! HELP!!!!!! :-)

Lesbians-Can you answer my lesbian bar question? I'm a gay man and I like to check out the gay bars in whatever city I'm traveling in. But it always seems that within any given city, there are far less lesbian bars than there are gay bars. Is this true or just a false perception? Also, in gay bars, you'll always find guys looking for other guys for sex. Is it the same in lesbian bars or are lesbians looking for something else rather than just sex?

Travel Channels Samantha Brown? Samantha Brown is definitely a hottie, I love her hips and her attitude. I know she is recently married, but I could have sworn I heard or read somewhere that she is a lesbian or bisexual? Is this true and where did I hear it? The short hair is kind of an indicator but that alone wouldn't lead me to believe that. I know I heard or read it somewhere, is it true?

Conquest of a Lesbian? I've been in two serious long term relationships with girls, and I've never had sex with a guy. I think I've fallen in love with my best friend, a guy, who is engaged. We've fooled around before, and we are both very attracted to each other. Trouble is, I'm not sure if this is his "conquest" to convert a girl who's only been with girls or if he's honestly into me as a person. He's travelled two hours away from his home city once a week for three weeks now to come see me, and has stayed the night each time, but nothing has happened. Anyone know if this is just a conquest for him or if he's honestly interested?

Is it possible to be out as a lesbian at work? I am just unsure if it will ever be possible. I work in a fairly conservative business environment and I don't think it would go down well (excuse the pun!) My feeling is that it is frankly no one's business and I should be judged on the work I do and not my personal life. At the moment, my personal life is limited though and I am single. If I wasn't single then this might make things more complicated, but at the moment I see it as a non-issue. Do you agree? I think I am right, but there is this voice at the back of my head that says "you are being a wuss, because you aren't open!" I never lie. I have never invented a str8 life. I just don't comment on my personal life or am very general about it and just focus on hobbies and travels and so on - strictly no dating talk.

Does anyone know about the homophobia situation at Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas? My partner's family wants to go on a vacation to the Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas this summer, but we've heard that the Bahamas are VERY anti-homosexual. On sight, we don't even pass as straight, so we're concerned about going on this trip and any possible safety issues that may come up. And especially on a family vacation......does anyone have experience with gay/lesbian Paradise Island travel? Thanks :)

Fellow lesbians, I need your help!? I often get frustrated living a gay life in a straight society so I've decided to create a new website for lesbians. It will have information on everything like lesbian nightlife, books, films, dating, travel and looooads more. I want this site to rank high with search engines but sadly a lot of the people looking up 'lesbian' are dirty men searching for porn.... not my target audience! So if you're looking for lesbian information online, what do you search under? Also I need your input on naming my site. Here are my top ideas: lesbian-survival-guide.com lesbian-lifestyle.com les-b-lesbians.com My favourite is the first one but I need some opinions. I'm creating this site for people like you so please let me know if you have any ideas or advice. thanks Hopefully one day this will be the top rated lesbian site out there! Oh my god! Now more bible bashing please!!! I get so annoyed when people like kyla G hide behind Chritianity to permit their homophobic views. The bible also states that it is a sin to wear clothing of two different materials but you even see the pope doing that! There are so many sins that you permit as 'ok' to break so to say that homosexuality is wrong is you just being selective and thinking you are better than god! Sorry these people really get to me! Thanks for all the goodhelpful answers, you're all a great help.

Strange dream, can you interpret? Last night I had a dream that I was in my late 50s, a travel agent and a lesbian.(I am none of these things in all actuality.) I arranged a vacation for my younger "partner" and two other friends. They arrived earlier than myself. I could see them in the hotel room discussing that my partner was no longer wanting to be with me and they decided to kill me with poison from a wooden blow dart.So,I arrived that evening and we socialized until bed time. I fell asleep on the floor of the hotel room by myself, still in my travel clothes.The 3 remaining ladies got out a long carved wooden object and my partner proceeded to blow a wooden dart dipped in poison into my back.I felt all of it the dart entering my back a strange excruciating pain spread from the wound through my entire body.I felt my spirit seperating from my body, realized that I was dying,heard a noise unlike any I've heard in real life and then was dead.Like an appliance being unplugged I died, feeling all of it, spirit moved on.

Are you interested in creating a large extended family with a Black Sperm Donar? Hello ladies and yes also men, I am a married man and over the past 10 years I been donating my sperm FREE to single women, lesbians and heterosexual couples. I have helped to conceive 12 children in 4 countries with 7 mothers. Unlike other sperm donors, I have one requirement for all my sperm recipients. They must accept to meet and keep in touch with the other family members and MUST encourage the children to establish a bond with each other. I have met many of the mothers both single and couples as well as the children who are great people and I want to invite you to join us. One of the great advantages of doing this is that we always accommodate each other when we travel. We recently accommodated a lesbian couple visiting with their two children from Sweden and we are next to visit the beautiful country with our 3 children. I established a private website for the family where we post our blogs, photos, chats etc. All sperm is shipped from an established sperm bank

Who arrives first ? A gay couple and a lesbian couple are planning on traveling from portland to sanfransisco in seperate vehicles driving the exact same routes planning to leave at the same time etc.

Can Saudi Arabia juge our moral values if they have more homosexuals than san francisco? Many Canadians,Europeans and Americans who travel to Saudi Arabia comes back with 1001 night tell of gay/lesbian tale. Many westerners do not expet to see that much number of g/lesbian in that country. With more and more westerners traveling to saudi arabia for work, even more stories come back and we start to understand saudi arabia society better. This is how far shariah can degrade a society py preventing the right to choose. Why Saudi Arabia seam to have more than other Arab countries?Is there a genetic factor? http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/antony_loewenstein/2007/07/shifting_sands.html Name/Alias James E-Mail jamesrex2000uk@yahoo.com City/State/Country Sydney/Australia Country of Citizenship UK/Europe/US Age 24 Sex Male Height 5'8" Weight 187lbs Sexual Orientation (gay/bi/straight) Gay Ethnicity Middle Eastern Religion Christian/Catholic Description Hi - looking for a lesbian around my age/early 20s, wanting to form a close relationship with intention of marriage in the future for social purposes.

It is even easier for lesbian to live their life than for male gai.A women can stay without a men for most of her life and just pretend that she is virtuous and wait for get married.Some wealthy gay saudi marry lesbian because they know that she won't bother them for sex and won't say anything.Sometime those lesbian women ask their cockhold gay husband to start a harem in wich they themselves bring their lovers or other lesbians.Many western lesbian who marry saudi find a lifestyle of joy and no privation in wealthy country where they don have to stress-out to work for a living.And since those men are gay anyway, they don't bother them. During travel to America or Europe , they visit fertility clinic where they proceed to get pregnant with husband sperms

I don't think I'm shy, but I have been accused of being shy??? My grandmother seems to think I am shy. I don't think I am. I am 31 years old and am a marketing manager at a big company. I have travelled the world, come out as lesbian, have friends in several countries, got hired in sales at a large company right out of university. What could it be that makes her think I am shy? I enjoy alone time and like to walk. I don't insist on being the life and soul of the party all the time. My relatives ignore what I say anyway, so I have to struggle to be heard. I resent the accusation.

How can I get out of Iran as a poor (without money) gay? I'm an 26 year-old Iranian and looking for ways to get out of my country because of terrible prosecutions and penalties for gay and lesbian people.I already tried several ways to get out of Irab but every time I became turned down.That's because each of those ways ends to M O N E Y.I should tell you that I have enough money to travel to the nearest country like Turkey or U.A.E but I'm not able to stay there more than 1 week.I had to apply gayy instead of the word gay cause the Iranian government has filtered all the sexual websites even those that contains gay ,lesbian ,queer and ... so you are not able to open them or search these words and as a result I decided to add another y to the word gay to be able to put in Yahoo Answers.I know one way can be staying and working till I collect enough money and then get out.But job vacancies are so rare here and I've traveled more than 4,000 kms looking for a job anywhere inside Iran from south to the north.Although I found some but... ...the salaries are so low and I have to work more than 3 years to be able to escape.One way can be going to one Europian embassies and get a tourist visa but they all want a heavy deposite to be sure that I will return to get it back and that's something I'm not able to provide.I called several human rights organizations ,American and Canadian lawyers but they said you must get yourself to a free country (that's what I'm able to do ,like traveling to Turkey) then stay there till all the progress will be done (I'm not able to stay more than 1 week as I mentioned above).I filled out an application form to be accepted in one of the Canadian universities and I was successful but when I went to the Canadian embassy in Tehran they asked me to show them a bank account certificate indicating that I have 20,000 Canadian $ in the bank to issue the visa.So I became turned down again.I spent lots of time on the internet to find someone to love and so he can help me to get out but as soon as... ...I finished my conscription he died on a brain tumor.Unfortunately I lost all my hope and don't feel I ever will be successful.Now I'm asking you ,what should I do?Please help me.

Why does my best friend say "people probably think we're gay" or "a couple" or "lesbian"? This usually comes up when we travel together. Not excessively, but it is just puzzling to me. I don't think anyone's ever thought this and certainly never said it to us. What do you think she would say this?

As a gay/lesbian couple, do you stay in B&Bs while traveling? My partner and I are traveling and we're thinking of staying in a B&B b/c it's less expensive.

I worry about our safety and our hosts comfort about us staying in their home.

How many years will it take for another Gay Man to become President? Firebrand Larry Kramer says he has the evidence to prove it. Lincoln scholars are holding their fire until they see it. Get ready for the second Civil War. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Carol Lloyd May 3, 1999 | The 28-year-old traveler was tall, with rough hands, a chiseled jaw and unforgettable, deep-set, melancholy eyes. He arrived in town, his worldly possessions in two battered suitcases, and inquired at a general store about buying some bedding. But the price was far beyond his budget. The strikingly handsome 23-year-old merchant took pity on the man and invited him into his own bed, free of charge, which happened to be just upstairs. The traveler inspected the bed and, looking into the merchant's sparkling blue eyes, agreed on the spot. For the next four years the two men shared that bed along with their most private fears and desires. If this sounds like the opening of a homoerotic dime-store novel whose subsequent scenes feature fiery loins and ecstatic eruptions, hold your panting. The year is 1837, the place Springfield, Ill., and the leading men none other than our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, and his lifelong friend Joshua Speed. It is a story that historians have told and retold, puzzled over and reinterpreted, dismissed and decorated. Some describe Lincoln's acceptance of Joshua Speed's generous offer as terse and matter-of-fact; others as beaming and emotional. What none of them questions is that Lincoln and Speed's years of living together cemented a friendship unparalleled in its intimacy and tenderness in Lincoln's life. So far, all major historians have stopped short of intimating that Lincoln was ever involved in a romantic affair with a man -- in fact, they explicitly discourage such interpretations. But Larry Kramer, the 62-year-old gay rights hell-raiser, Academy Award-nominated screenwriter ("Women in Love") and Pulitzer-nominated playwright ("The Normal Heart"), wants to change all that. In February, at a gay and lesbian conference in Madison, Wis., he read a portion of his unfinished book, "The American People" -- which, in the course of describing the history of gays in early America, avers that Lincoln and Speed were not merely bedfellows but lovers. "There's no question in my mind he was a gay man and a totally gay man," Kramer declares. "It wasn't just a period, but something that went on his whole life." Like the rumors that Thomas Jefferson had sired the children of his young slave Sally Hemings, questions about Speed and Lincoln's relationship have circulated for years. In "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years" (1926), Carl Sandburg wrote that their relationship had "a streak of lavender and spots soft as May violets," which some have taken as a veiled reference to homosexuality. In 1995, just after Bob Dole rejected campaign contributions from the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay GOP group, Log Cabin member W. Scott Thompson was quoted in the New York Times as saying that gays should feel welcome in the party, "given that the founder was gay." Novelist Paul Russell, author of "The Gay 100," a ranking of the world's most important gay figures, also investigated the rumors but chose not to include Lincoln, feeling that the case was not strong enough, though he did include questionable figures like Shakespeare and Madonna. In an interview that will appear in a forthcoming anthology called "Sexual Writings by Gore Vidal," Gore Vidal told Kramer some years ago that during the research for the historical novel "Lincoln," Vidal too began to suspect that Lincoln was gay. Like most of Lincoln's early private life, the story of his friendship with Speed is a murky one -- although not nearly as murky as Lincoln's early liaisons with women. After four years of living in intimate quarters, Speed announced plans to sell the store and return to his home in Kentucky, where his family owned a large plantation. Lincoln, who was notoriously awkward and shy around women, was at the time engaged to a vivacious, if temperamental, society girl named Mary Todd, but as the date of Speed's departure and the marriage approached, Lincoln cracked. He wanted to break the engagement by letter, but at Speed's entreaty, he went to Mary Todd and told her face to face he did not love her. Some argue that Lincoln had fallen in love with another woman. Soon after, Speed departed, leaving Lincoln mired in depression and guilt. Seven months later Lincoln traveled to Speed's home in Kentucky, where he spent a month being nursed back to health. After that the two men corresponded affectionately for decades, chronicling their most personal internal conflicts -- including their abject fear of marriage, which they ominously refer to in their correspondence (always emphasized) as forebodings. Speed was the first to approach the altar successfully, an ordeal that Lincoln coached him through with tender but not altogether convincing letters of encouragement. It seemed that Speed was on the verge of a premarital meltdown similar to Lincoln's. "If you went through the ceremony calmly, or even with sufficient composure not to excite alarm in anyone present, you are safe, beyond question," Lincoln wrote just after the date of Speed's betrothal, "and in two or three months, to say the most, will be the happiest of men." Subsequent clandestine letters inquired whether Speed really was "happier or, if you think the term preferable, less miserable." Both men eventually married and had children; they remained close until they had a falling-out in 1855 over the issue of slavery.

Lesbian being pursued by str8 guy...what should i do??? i don't want to come out to this guy and i don't want to seem unfriendly. he is a client of my company and i have worked with him quite closely for the past few months. without giving away too many details, the point is that he is asking me for dinner (changing his plans and going to some bother to do so), and it isn't about business. he wants to chat and be socialable. he talks about his parents, family, sports, and ordinary things. i haven't gone out with him alone before (always with other colleagues), but now he will be visiting a nearby city and says he will travel to see me that evening for dinner. i don't want to say no because he is a client, but the dinner isn't business. it is him being friendly and whatever. i imagine he will insist on paying. is this a date? i don't feel safe at my work coming out, but I don't want to lead this guy on. has he no clue? is this just being friendly? what would you say? Just more details...I am 32 dyk*e. He is slightly younger I think and tries very hard to be nice! He even hugged me the other week. I was saying bye to a colleague and she hugged me and he was there too and he hugged me as well because he was going away on a long trip. I never invited the hug, but it was a big hug, almost lingering a bit. I feel this is really so awkward. I am just a nice person, client-oriented and trying to be kind. Should I call him up and cancel the dinner for next Wed? Should I just go? I am not sure what excuse to use without offending him or him suspecting it is not genuine. I am not attached though...I am a single gay woman. I may not be prepared to come out at work, but my policy is to never lie about it. Yeah, I have decided to make an excuse and decline his invitation should he call and make arrangements. I can't be bothered with this and I am really sure he is making the moves on me. He is single and has told me several times. Why hasn't he figured out I am gay? I am not that feminine really and I find it hard to belive. Plus, if I were str8, I wouldn't be going for the shy guy with the weight problem. No offence, but I resent his forwardness and assumption that I would be interested in him. I am nice to him as I am with everyone because it is my JOB when dealing with clients!!!!!

Can you translate this from English into Hungarian? 1. I have the honour of being Miklos' best man, and Pista, his elder brother, has agreed to translate for me - this also allows him to get in the stories Miklos obviously didn’t want everyone knowing about, such as, the story about Miklos asking his first girl out, who everyone else knew was a lesbian....and well I did some extra research and well [Pista and I turn heads], she's here tonight!!.........only kidding 2. Here are some messages from well-wishers who can’t be here tonight – in other words, messages from friends in the UKwho like you, but not enough to bother travelling here. 3. When I first heard that Miklos was going to marry Kinga, my first reaction naturally was “NO!......You've stolen my best friend from me. Die. Die now." 4. There are varying traditions concerning the best man. In the UK, he's meant to play a game with the bridesmaids called "hide the sausage" but the last time I was best man, all the bridesmaids were still in nursery school.

How many anti abortionists would make a deal lowering limit to say 18 weeks if.....? How many anti abortionists would make a deal lowering limit to say 18 weeks if..... A new law was made that only someone who was a practicing gay or lesbian person, or a porn star could be pope. And All teenagers were reversibly sterilised till their 20s after uni and early career building/travelling etc. Thus no unwanted teen pregnancies the bulk of abortion needs. Or is it nothing to do with caring for so called unborn foetusses. And everything to do with attacking birth control and female control over own bodies, sex outside marriage for non procreational means and pushing a right wing puritan agenda

How can I get out of Iran as a poor (without money) gay? I'm an 26 year-old Iranian and looking for ways to get out of my country because of terrible prosecutions and penalties for gay and lesbian people.I already tried several ways to get out of Irab but every time I became turned down.That's because each of those ways ends to M O N E Y.I should tell you that I have enough money to travel to the nearest country like Turkey or U.A.E but I'm not able to stay there more than 1 week.I had to apply gayy instead of the word gay cause the Iranian government has filtered all the sexual websites even those that contains gay ,lesbian ,queer and ... so you are not able to open them or search these words and as a result I decided to add another y to the word gay to be able to put in Yahoo Answers.I know one way can be staying and working till I collect enough money and then get out.But job vacancies are so rare here and I've traveled more than 4,000 kms looking for a job anywhere inside Iran from south to the north.Although I found some but... ...the salaries are so low and I have to work more than 3 years to be able to escape.One way can be going to one Europian embassies and get a tourist visa but they all want a heavy deposite to be sure that I will return to get it back and that's something I'm not able to provide.I called several human rights organizations ,American and Canadian lawyers but they said you must get yourself to a free country (that's what I'm able to do ,like traveling to Turkey) then stay there till all the progress will be done (I'm not able to stay more than 1 week as I mentioned above).I filled out an application form to be accepted in one of the Canadian universities and I was successful but when I went to the Canadian embassy in Tehran they asked me to show them a bank account certificate indicating that I have 20,000 Canadian $ in the bank to issue the visa.So I became turned down again.I spent lots of time on the internet to find someone to love and so he can help me to get out but as soon as... ...I finished my conscription he died on a brain tumor.Unfortunately I lost all my hope and don't feel I ever will be successful.Now I'm asking you ,what should I do?Please help me.
