Has anyone found any better ways to reach LGBT audiences on meta ads since they removed so many ‘interests’ now it’s impossible

Hey Guys!

I’m a gay tattoo artist that recently moved to London from Ireland and just wanted to share some of my work to hopefully find some lovely new clients.

I’m based in South West and take all my bookings over on instagram (Abbott.Tattoos)! Feel free to message me over there with any questions.

Thank you for any support x

I am going for the first time with friends for a birthday thing- we’re pulling up around 11 so hopefully the lines will be short ish. I am gay but im afraid i don’t look gay enough that they’ll let me in (im quite femme). I’ve seen horror stories about bouncers turning away women who they deem as looking too straight- how often does this actually happen? If so, any tips on how to look as gay as possible…..?

Hey guys, really open mid twenties guy here looking to expand my circle. Into all sorts... I am based in North London.

Drop me a DM or reply here if you wanna hang out sometime....

Hey everyone, lam a 22 y/o queer individual who would appreciate expanding their queer circle and/or making more friends in general.

Unfortunately, my apologies, this might sound self-centered, but a part of the reason for the same is me being mentally at an abysmally low point. Ever since I completed my MSc, I have been struggling to find a job in this job market.

Things have gotten to the point where l am being asked to come back home - a beautiful place but extremely conservative. I would lose all sense of identity that I gained upon arriving in London.

I am not asking for any sympathy x, I apologise if this post reflects the same, but I shall appreciate people who are grounded and keep me humbled as well.

My interests are: gym (well, I am not very consistent), music (i used to "review" albums upon listening), finance/economics (my preferred career avenues)

Thank you and I hope everyone is having a lovely bank holiday :)

Hey! 34yo gay guy visiting from Portugal, going solo to False Idols at Drumsheds on Oct 24th. Anyone else heading there and want to meet up?

Also, open to recommendations for good gay bars or after-parties to check out once the festival wraps up. Drop a DM!

Hi!!! I'm18nb, and planning on attending the big queer picnic held in Victoria Park this Saturday, and I'm just looking for some cool people who are going to be there as well, preferably between the ages of 18-20 because I don't really fancy going by myself xx

If you're interested, feel free to comment or send me a message!!!

I’ve been leaving in London for a while now but never been to any of the clubs there are here. Granted, I am also somebody who dosen’t go clubbing that often as I am more of an introvert but would like to go out one evening.

I am 28M, average looking.

hey everyone xx i’m m21 looking to move to london this year to do my masters. hoping to get to know some people to build a gay friend network and make some good mates. i like the gym, going out clubbing, being outside and random sports, music, movies, and whatever else thats good fun. happy to get to chat to anyone to begin with too. drop me a message!

Hello,

Thanks for reading my post. I suppose this is both a request for feedback and, admittedly, an advertisement!

The Pink Post Box is a UK-based pen pal matching service created exclusively for Queer/LGBTQ+ letter writing enthusiasts. The reason I have created it is because I wanted a service that help facilitate platonic Queer friendships, and encourage pen-to-paper, in an instant, digital age.

I have no desire to turn this into a business. However, I do envision expanding the website and its services in the future, potentially including things such as an elderly befriending service, Queer Christmas cards, and other LGBT+ projects.

Whatever direction it eventually takes, its core will always be about Queer friendship, community and charity. I am gay myself and the only person running the site, so I will ensure this values remain true and at the heart of The Pink Post Box.

Regarding the membership fee, this is intended both to help deter trolls and to cover the costs of running the website. If the project ever reaches a point where there is excess profit, this would eb donated to an LGBTQ+ charity and I'd like the charity to be chosen by the members.

I wouldgenuinely appreciate any advice or feedback. And, of course, if the idea appeals to you, please sign up.

Thank you!

Hey! I’m 25, from Aus and pretty new to London. I’d love to meet some people and make friends.
I’ve been struggling a bit with adjusting and feeling quite lonely, to the point where I’ve even thought about going home. I’d really love to get out more, explore London, grab drinks/food and meet some genuine people.
If you’re also looking for friends or fancy hanging out, feel free to message me 😊

Hey everyone! I'm 18 and based in London, and lately I've realised I'd really like to meet more LGBT people and build a bigger social circle.

I'm into quite a random mix of things 😂 I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and compete, I'm really interested in fitness and sports science/biomechanics, and I also like fashion, makeup, tattoos, philosophy and just learning about random things.

I've got friends already, but I'd love to meet more people who I can actually go out and do things with — whether that's getting food, exploring London, going to events, training together, having a chill day, or just talking nonsense online.

I'm also starting university soon, so I feel like it's a good time to put myself out there and meet some new people before then.

I'd particularly love to meet other LGBT guys around my age, but I'm happy to talk to anyone LGBT who's looking for new friends too. I'm not really looking for anything specific just hoping to find some people I click with and see where the friendships go :)

Feel free to comment or message me if you think we'd get along!

I'm a 23 y/o female living in London. I have been experiencing some things for the past 2 years, and I think I have not been giving these experiences enough credit. The experiences in question - I occasionally find some women quite attractive and feel aroused, but it happens so rarely (2-3 times so far); I never took it seriously. Or just sometimes, I wish my partner has female parts while we are making out/ having sex (dk how to write that nicely). On discussing this with my boyfriend, he nudged me to discover if my attraction has any basis. However, I find the idea of this exploration a little scary because:

1) I don't know how I can validate my attraction

2) I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 4.5 years, and am quite happy. I don't know what this could mean? I'm unsure how I can explore my sexuality while still retaining what I have with him.

Again I'm not scared of being bisexual, just scared about how I can explore and validate my experiences.

Any advice for me?

I don't suppose anyone has a last minute spare for this event please?

Hi all,

For anyone looking for a fabulous day of fun and entertainment on this Bank Holiday Sunday, everyone is welcome to join us at West London Queer Project for a FREE street party celebrating our 6th birthday!

Claire Richards from Steps will be our headline performer, but we have an incredible line up throughout the whole day.

The celebrations kick off from 12:00 to 14:00 with a vibrant programme for families and children.

From 14:00 onwards, the main stage bursts to life with non-stop live entertainment from some incredible Kings, Queens and LGBTQ talent.

Last year over 4,000 people joined us and it would be amazing to see as many of you as possible to celebrate West London and the wonderful local queer community.

For the street party we’ll be closing down the road at Old Market Place, Chiswick (W4). And the closet tube station is Turnham Green.

More details at WLQP.org

I am visiting in the very near future.
I love electronic music and have been to 1000s of parties and probably more than 100 clubs.
How is the above club, in your opinion?
Crowd?
Music?
Best day?
Dos and don'ts?
All information is appreciated.
XO

So those guys in pup master relationships or situationship how did you meet? Are there any socials in London or do you just go to fetish events?

Any freaky fun suggestions?😈

We are working on a book project compiling real life experiences and stories from this much missed London boozer. The closest thing we have to how sleazy it was is probably the Central Station pub in Kings Cross on a Sunday but this was definitely up a notch. We would love to hear your memories. Please DM us here.

Paid to go to a LGBT swimming thing and I didn’t know who the organiser was and no one was really mingling or came out of their clique to say hi.

It was a small group and the area wasn’t busy.

I tried my best but I couldn’t hack those kind of vibes so I left.

It makes me want to be a hermit. I’d rather be a hermit than a beg.

Sometimes I’m happy to talk to strangers from scratch but sometimes I expect there to be a sort of easygoing organiser to help break the ice.

I was having a rough day and I made myself go to this event thinking I’d meet some cool people but it was the opposite.

I tried speaking to someone but because of my nerves or my nerves affecting the conversation- I felt like I was coming across really intense and got in my head too much. So I just said I’m guna go and the girl was trying to be easygoing and said about going into the water but I just didn’t feel welcome or like I could talk to anyone else and I didn’t want to latch onto her/ make her feel bad, so I just left.

I have ADHD and it doesn’t make you a social butterfly all the time, I’d say it makes it very hard to connect with others.

Anyways I’m really disappointed in the ‘community’ lately for these things.
