How Do You Make Queer Friends?

Do you remember the first time you made a queer friend?

Did you work out you were queer and then start freaking out about how you were ever going to meet other queers? It’s obviously nice to have friends from all walk of life but it’s also really great to connect with other LGBTQIA humans, so we can talk about that stuff that sometimes only other people really get. Like how you’re going during the yuck postal vote or how cute Shane from The L Word is.

For some of us making new pals comes super easily. Maybe you were naturally drawn to other queero humans so you instantly had a gay group, lesbo posi, rainbow chosen family or bunch of non-binary babes to hang out with. But for others it can be challenging, especially if you don’t know any other queers in your area, at your school or workplace. So in this episode we are going to try and answer the question for you:

How do you make queer friends?? We are going to hear from 3 different young people about how they’ve made new queer pals and give you our top tips on making queer pals! I’ll also fill you in on the time I contacted someone on Facebook I had followed for years and then asked them to be my friend. Later in the show we are also going to hear about a cute all ages panel discussion about queer inclusivity that the Victorian Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby are running that you might like to attend!
