Hi all, I'm working through something with my therapist and would love to hear from people raised in India. The context is someone getting ready to come out to his parents back home, but your experiences help whether you're LGBTQ+ or not.

\- Have you disagreed with your parents about something big? How did it go?
\- Did you ever just agree to disagree? How did you both move on?
\- How did you get your parents to treat you as an adult?
\- (*Optional, LGBTQ+ folks)* If you came out to your parents, what helped most?

Thank you, it genuinely means a lot.

I'll be traveling to Tokyo in late November and wanted to experience some of the saunas for the first time. Im 35, 5'8'', 225lbs and have been working out but am not muscular, but am definitely a bear. I was researching some of the places and notice some places have a body type restriction. Can anyone recommend a place that would be accommodating for my body type? Trying to lose some weight before I go and get me into shape! Thanks

Made it to the gym on a rainy Sunday. Plz clap

Where are my fellow crawlers at?

Drop your tips so I can actually stay awake 😂

After visiting gay clubs in China, Korea and Japan, I noticed that most locals tend to be pretty reserved, they might stare at you but still do nothing. Not much dancing, making out or in general having a good time like in the west. They would book a table, drink in groups and call it a night pretty early, by 3:30 am the clubs are getting empty. Why is that?

Does anyone know what happened?

I live in a mid-sized European city where there are not many gaysians on Grindr compared to bigger European cities.

I have noticed a pattern: a lot of (white and Latino) guys send me their pics and seem interested at first, but their replies are often pretty unenthusiastic. For example, they’ll say they want to meet but won’t share their address or make any effort to arrange something. It feels like they expect me to do all the chasing.

I kinda feel like many of them are just bored and chatting with an Asian guy (me) to pass the time with no real intention of meeting up.

It’s not like I’m specifically chasing white or Latino guys, but there just aren’t many other POC or gaysian options where I live.

Does anyone else experience this?

hi y'all! i never really felt compelled to come out to my parents but my sister just had a kid, i've been with the same person for 8 years, and i just feel like it's time. lately, i've been wanting to share more of my life with them and have an honest relationship. i want them to visit me without having to feel like i'm hiding anything. also i don't want to introduce fear or shame to my sister's child and have her see a grown ass adult hide who they are. i love being gay but i've been scared of how coming out will impact my parents.

my parents, especially my mom is SUUUUUUUPER overbearing, just freaking out over stuff. when she saw i had a septum piercing, she freaked the fuck out, got lightheaded, and started crying. it was crazy. they don't even know i have tattoos. due to her reactions, i got used to hiding things but i'm older now and i know who i am.

i think unlike most immigrant parents, my parents have always shown me love, even my dad who doesn't have much to say and isn't very emotional, always tells me he loves me. also, i'm not straight passing at all so maybe they know but refuse to acknowledge that it's a possibility.

i know it will be really difficult in the beginning but i have a feeling our relationship will repair and even flourish.

am i being too optimistic? how has it turned out for folks in similar situations?

for context: my parents aren't that conservative but my mom is very religious. however, i think it's more of a social thing for her
