LGBTQIA+ Daily Vibe II

[Jessica616]

Good news - the celebs are coming out for us in the UK. In March 2026 a number of musicians are staging a charity event called Trans Mission at Wembley Arena to "fight back against the politics of fear & exclusion". The event will raise money for the Good Law Project and the trans charity Not a Phase.
Artists including Sugababes, Wolf Alice, Romy, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Christine and the Queens, Beth Ditto, Beverley Knight, Jasmine.4.T, Kae Tempest and more will perform at an all-star charity concert at Wembley Arena in support of trans rights next year.
Organised by Olly Alexander and the Mighty Hoopla festival, Trans Mission will also feature appearances from figures including Green party leader Zack Polanski, actor Ian McKellen, comedian Grace Campbell, author Shon Faye, actor Mawaan Rizwan, model Munroe Bergdorf and actor Nicola Coughlan.

I'm still at work so
Listening to: a forklift and Radio 5
Wearing: boiler suit, boots, hardhat
Mood: work innit?!

This is so cool.

Here's a joke - about time do I hear ya say?

Me: I'm a non-binary girl
Friends: okay, but you still have a man's body
Me: You're right - we should probably bury this dead guy instead of discussing gender
Friend: I'll get the shovels

How am I supposed to love myself?
Hiding from mirrors
Photos deleted
If I don't have to see it
I'm fine
Been quiet at dinner
Sick with a secret
I don't feel like eating
I'm lying

How am I supposed to love myself
When I can't bear to see my face?
How am I supposed to love myself
When I feel like my life's a mistake?

I don't belong in this body
It has my name but it's not me
Oh I'm trying, I'm trying my best
I know I'm not what you wanted
And honestly, I'm exhausted
'Cause I'm trying, I'm trying
But, I don't fit in
I don't fit in this skin

I wish I was different
I wish I was happy
I wish I was beautiful

How am I supposed to love myself
When I have a reflection I hate?
How am I supposed to love myself
When I feel like my life's a mistake?

I don't belong in this body
It has my name but it's not me
Oh I'm trying, I'm trying my best
I know I'm not what you wanted
And honestly, I'm exhausted
'Cause I'm trying, I'm trying
But, I don't fit in
I don't fit in

It's your body, your choice
'Till you don't choose right
And you're fighting for your life
While they're taking away your rights
And the man in white decides
What happens in between your thighs
My body, isn't mine

How am I supposed to love myself?

I don't belong in this body
Don't say her name 'cause it's not me
Oh I'm trying, I'm trying my best
To tell you I didn't want this
And honestly, I'm exhausted
'Cause I'm trying, I'm trying but
I don't fit in
I don't fit in this skin

Happy Soulstice to you. I had a lovely little ceremony last night, with the lighting of my tree.

I got sent this link and it's definitely worth a share - from the Dad of a trans kid


*link fixed now. It's facebook but you don't need to accept cookies to watch it... at least from the uk

Woop, I was forgetting tradition
Wearing, jeans, fluffy slippers, fleeces
Mood, kindofa mix - still guilty for shouting at my neighbour, mildly excited about The Day and I must check out garlic & scallops
Listening to, a pigeon-free silence

Hello all.

Life has become busy with the closing of the year.
I wanted to check-in and wish everyone a Merry Whichever. May the holidays be filled with joy and harmony.

Listening to: falling rain
Wearing: fuzzy navy track pants, orange polar sweater, grey wooly socks
Mood: cocoon-ish

Dads like this dude are a treasure, the world needs more of them!

You too @_valkyrie_ Enjoy this time of year however you choose!

listening to: Georgia Knight, Mingle
mood: subdued
wearing: not enough I guess, kinda chilled!

...Mood, kindofa mix - still guilty for shouting at my neighbour...

On the bright side, having a conscience is a healthy thing.

So many leaders in society today appear to be sociopaths.

Wearing: still in my morning robe
Mood: frustrated with the takeover by corporate oligarchs
Listening to: silence mostly, but my refrigerator seems to be "gurgling"

As the world is just a couple of days past the winter solstice, I was thinking of an experience I hope to have sometime in my life.
I really want to see Stonehenge in person, I want to be there for a sunrise an sunset.
So in my curiosity I found an article in the Guardian.....I guess something like 8500 people were there for this last solstice, not my vibe!
Having read that, I'm imagining lots of people gather there for any solar event be it a solstice or equinox.
Ahh well, still leaves me lots of other days to see this place!

Anyways, seasonal greetings an warm thoughts to y'all

wearing: layers of woolies and fleecy goodness
listening to: Mazzy Star, So Tonight that I may see

 

[Zrosey]

Tonight, christmas eve. This was the time for my mom's side of the family. It was when we would have our get together, gifts and all the stuff associated with the holiday.
Tomorrow the 25th was pretty much just for resting up, and guys in the house would watch sports.
Anyways, myself and friends are doing a dinner tonight AND a hang out with more eating tomorrow
Hope everyone out there gets to be with the special friend or person in their life.
So I gotta get back to making food, take care out there!

Listening to: kexp
Wearing: warm stuff...wind is windy, and babe, it's cold out there!

 

[stickygirl]

Opted to watch Gerwig's Little Women this evening, which may have been a mistake but my bf is used to me weeping at movies but I had forgotten how fucking weepy it is.
Everything that I could prepare is done. The wind is in the east and that makes me think of Russia and that stupid war, so I am giving a thought to the Ukrainians.
Have a peaceful times with people that matter

Listening to my customary tinnitus and gusts of wind making creepy noises in the drain pipes.
Wearing, same old scruffies
Mood ... what is this mood? It's sadness, wistful, content, mellow. Probably I'm tired

Love and hugs each

79 yo Norwegian ex-mayor comes out as trans
Girl, I'm so glad you finally get a chance to live life as yourself!
Just being you is totally an inspiration and bright spot in an otherwise mean world.

listening to: ticking sound of my heater
wearing: long skirt, fleece hoodie
mood: adrift

 

[liqueur]

Hope everyone out there gets to be with the special friend or person in their life.

Thank you. It was just me and the creatures. But I made a simple and lovely meal, and spent an hour or more on the phone with my ex, who is my closest friend. Also got to speak with my brother, and my sister. So it was a quiet, peaceful day.

I hope yours was good. All of you.

"Hello to all of my fellow LGBTQIA+’rs!

Since we, on the LGBTQIA+ forum, don’t really have a daily “hangout” thread, I figured we could start a new one. A place where we could come and just talk about anything at all! Share what’s going on in our daily lives, your current mood, or just to check in and say hi to all our fellow GLBT’rs.

Hopefully someone is interested in keeping this thread afloat.. I know I will try! It's not a thread for bragging about your sex life.

So who wants to be the first to post? Hmmmm???

How was everyone's day?"

That was how sxxyblueyes introduced the original thread in 2005 - so this is a historical document!! Lets hear what you have today

Updated title today March 2025 to reflect the changes since 2005... twenty years of magnificence

We are hot

 

[liqueur]

Also got to speak with my brother, and my sister.

Which reminds me: my sister is transitioning. At age 77. I'm in awe.
