My Dreams
Dear The Lesbian Question,
I am 21, and I have identified as lesbian for 4 years now. My question is odd for me, and I don’t even know if this is the right place to ask this sort of thing. I dream about women all the time, naturally, but lately I’ve been having dreams that I [...]
Looking To Relate
I first visited this site months ago. I was surfing around, looking for information or someone out there somewhere to talk to. I’m new at this.
I have been married to a man for 21 years and have one child, a teenager. I grew up in upper middle class suburbia, where I was pretty sheltered from [...]
Help Me
Dear all,
I have been reading your issues in this blog around a month. It is interesting to hear your comment too; you all have many good ideas and experience. And I got some email address from this site too, and I tried to send some text to them but I got no reply, I don’t [...]
Bisexual Crushes
A question for anyone who’s ever been attracted to both sexes.
Can crushes feel different when they’re for a guy or a girl?
I feel on edge in male company and more comfortable with girls, so that may be a factor, but basically, there was this guy in my class, and he flirted with me, like, REALLY [...]
Reminder: Vote NO on 8
I want to remind you to vote NO on Prop 8 today. Find your polling place at http://www.govote.org.
For a California free from discrimination and intolerance, vote NO on Prop 8. It’s unfair and wrong.
No matter how you feel about marriage, it’s wrong to eliminate rights.
Thank you,
Charlotte

Real Love
I have been best friends with Tallie for 10 years. Our friendship is very close and we say we are soul mates. Tallie is straight and is now in her second marriage. I helped her through her divorce from her first husband who was abusive to her and her children. I have been there for [...]
8 Against 8
On October 20, 2008, eight influential lesbian bloggers launched 8 Against 8, an eight-day collaborative online fundraising drive to defeat Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that seeks to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in the State of California. The bloggers’ 8 Against 8 campaign donation page is located at the following URL: www.8against8.com. The [...]
How To Tell My Papa?
In my city I’m still a minor and homosexuality is is not well looked upon. I am from a very strict military and Christian family. My parents said to me when I innocently asked: “Papa, if your grandchild were gay what would you do?” He told me: He will go to hell, I will never recognize him, [...]
My Girlfriend Won’t Come Out
Hey,
It’s not much but… I’ve been with my girlfriend for a month and a half. We really into each other and everything is going really well. But… I came out in March with my ex to everyone at school, luckily I’ve had little problem and I’m so happy I did it as I feel I [...]
This Is Very Long, But I Really Need Help
Hello,
I came across the site by accident after I did some research one night, specifically after something had happened to me that caused me to feel the need to do research (how strange - I look up everything on Google, from spider bites to? my personal feelings), and I was wondering if maybe you could [...]
I’m Not Sure What To Do
I think I know what I should do, in regards to my situation, but I feel as though getting some opinions would help. I guess I need to give a fair amount of background, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible.
I was married for 10 years, and got divorced about 3 years [...]
A Disorder?
Hello there, I’m Avery and I’m 16 years young. I’m attracted to both sexes physically but emotionally, I feel absolutely nothing with guys, as opposed to what I feel (strongly) about girls. And that’s the part that freaks me out. I have Christian relatives who would tell me stories about this guy turning gay because of [...]
Am I Crazy To Think There Could Have Been Something?
Hello everyone,
I don’t exactly know where to start… and it took me a long time to actually write and share this with anybody. I’m new here and pretty clueless. So this post is kind of just me letting my situation be heard (any feedback, advice is appreciated). I apologize if it’s rather long and well, [...]
My Girlfriend Has A Friend That Likes Her
My girlfriend of 2 years has become friends with a girl from her work. This girl knows she is in a relationship with me and that we are happy together. Despite this the girl from her work still took it upon herself to tell my girlfriend she has feelings for her. I now dislike this [...]
Very Confused
Hi,
I’m 20 years old, and have been questioning my sexuality for about 5 months. I think I’m either straight (but a little confused) or bisexual with a preference for women or perhaps a lesbian.
I don’t seem to fit in with most of the coming out/questioning processes of other lesbians. They tend to say either they’ve [...]
Is My Girlfriend In Love With Her Friend?
Hi there,
I’m a guy, and my girlfriend is always commenting on how beautiful girls’ bodies are and always tries to hint to me to watch the L word together with her. She’s friends with this absolutely stunning beautiful and petite girl, and gets really upset when her friend doesn’t call her for more than about [...]
Out Of The Closet #1: Beware of TV crews
As admin I shall take the lead in posting in our new category “Out of the Closet” (it is my duty, after all). My coming out story is actually rather funny (and a bit sentimental). I was 17 and I had joined an organization for gay youngsters a few months before I came out. My [...]

Downtime
As you probably noticed, TLQ has been suffering from some serious downtime in the last 24 hours. We are back online now, but we’re missing a few features. We are working our lesbian asses off to get everything back on track. Meanwhile posting and commenting is possible. If you have a post in the waiting [...]
