Hey! I’m in DC too! I’ve been to Lambda Rising and i’ve read the blade. It’s true, there is a lot of stuff to do here in DC, I’m just not ballsy enough to go out and do it by myself. I just moved here 2 weeks ago and not knowing anyone is driving me cRaZy! I’m thinking about joining the maryland Stingers Women’s Rugby team… I’ll probably be going to Phase1 on Saturday just to put myself out there and try to meet someone. You only really need to find one person, and then it kinda just branches off into other friendships. So yeah, DC people hit me up on myspace if you wanna hang! myspace.com/schmoonie

And good luck gotkaylee!!!

cantgetitright, I’m in the DC area.

It’s pretty queer friendly in general, and there are a lot of ways to meet people. DC has a huge recreational sports scene – lots of softball, kickball, soccer, basketball and rugby – that anyone can join up. Also book clubs, hiking, running, biking – pretty much anything you can think of has an LGBT equivalent.

there aren’t a lot of lesbian-oriented bars in DC. a couple of clubs, and of course there’s Phase. You can also check out Lambda Rising, which is the gay bookstore on connecticut ave, up in Dupont.

and if you’re still wondering about the scene, pick up a copy of the Washington Blade (local newspaper for the queer community, free on almost every street corner). It’s not the best newspaper, but you can find out about events that are happening and local news.

good luck!

If you have friends that are straight and know your gay then I say ask a favor and have them go out with you. I am sure there are plaenty of gay bars in san deigo. You could try looking up gay events not always the bar scene I know we have a local publication that comes out monthly that has events, things to do, all sorts of stuff. The online sites may work as well. I think just jump in there is no how to guide, we all entered the community in our own way but I bet most of us were all afraid at first. I hope it works out for you and remember have fun!!!!
