The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

[Paul]

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name 🙂

Hey MsP
Happy Belated Birthday wishes! I hope your day was super special and you were spoilt. Sounds like you had a nice dinner though 🙂


that massage therapist sounds really great. Its good when you get what you ask for and more isnt it. I like the part where you say just a remidial massage and thats what they do rather than going into the deep tissues.


Wow go you, thats sounds cool. Id never be fit enough to do that! So well done to you, I know your super dedicated to the gym as well. 🙂


good luck with your meeting today too




how is everyone else today?

hey yeah im not really on here that much. not through anyone on heres fault, just going through a heap of stuff and its hard to sometimes keep up with the convo on here... dont get me wrong though i love you all on here.

im not really doing great, still having a heap of problems and its rare i get a good day at the moment, still not a good day for me.

my brusies are healing well they are at those dreadful colouring stage now, thankfully past that really annoying itchy stage. and the rest of me is ok, waiting out a week to see if ill need more scans done again though jsut to make sure as my neck is still pretty out of whack and casuing migraines still. more psychological stuff than physical, so just slowly sorting through those emotions as well

how are you going? i feel like i barely know anyone on here

Hi everyone. My name is Alex; I'm a transman and recent immigrant to Beyond Blue. Folk on other threads suggested I should come here. My username refers to me being a pet rat owner (none right now) in case folk were curious. I'm a long term depressed person; not too bad right now because on ADs, but kind of lonely. I'm not sure what else I should say, don't want to load the intro too much. Can't remember if it's ok to say where I'm from and I've stuffed up twice with the forum rules so maybe I'll check first!

Hi iguess and ratboy and welcome to the forums.

As you both are new to the rainbow cafe I will say a few sentences on myself, as I imagine reading through the whole cafe isn't a viable thing to do (not sure if viable was the correct word, oh well). I am a 26 yo female who identifies as bisexual. I like to consider myself semi out. I haven't put it out on fb or anything, but my close family and friends know and I let other people know as I see fit. I am happy with how far I have come in a year. Last year no one but one person knew. Now I don't really care if a friend tells another. I just don't see the point in doing an fb post until I'm in a same sex relationship (never wanna hide my relationship)

Starting new I'm sorry you are still struggling. My mum took a few months before the bruises went away. She had a few fractured ribs so struggled with pain and doing every day things as well. It was horrible to watch. But she got better with time. I know that is of little comfort but we are here for you when you need

Ratboy. I think you are allowed to say where you are from but not give to many specifics. Like no addresses. I now live in Brisbane. I won't say which suburb I'm in as I try to keep it broad.

Danny Thanks for the bday wishes. I had a great day. Just something small. I feel like 26 isn't a big year so I didn't need anything flash for my bday.

Hi Guys,

I noticed your thread on the social page and thought you guys would be a good group to get involved in.

I'm a 17 year old male who identifies as gay.

Would you guys be able to help me out?
