One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

I also found it difficult to get out and do the things I used to enjoy or to meet new people without feeling disassociated and uneasy. I have found, through t …

Ever notice how there is NO gay neighborhood in Portland, OR? Also, there isn't a full time LESBIAN bar here anymore either. So my fellow lesbian friends and I thought it would be super smart to create a LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB. LESBIAN SOCIAL CLUB: We'll pick a date, time and spot every month for lesbians to congregate. We've heard of this working before in other cities so we thought we'd try it here. Nothing formal just a suggestion..."Hey all the lesbians are hanging here tonight....and so on!"
