Hey, I just wanted to start a thread here in case there are others struggling with all the media crap around this postal survey. Everywhere I go in the community people are finding it really hard so I thought people here must also be.
I am.
Maybe we can just make a space to take care of each other. I feel that we really need to do that right now. This atrocity is going to continue for months.

Hello All,
Wow guys. You are unreal😘
Thankyou so much for all the support.
Great ideas & feedback @Appleblossom yes, interests first is a practical strategy. And no worries, you mentioned girls - any info is valuable. I found Google to be exhausting.
Thanks too @outlander for giving me extra information about Qlife & anonymity. Word of mouth, best way to go.
Thanks @hanami . I love the encouragement you give me. I have a request/suggestion ...
As I think this is a fairly old thread - what do you think of collating the info members have offered & placing it in an easy place to find?
Like I mentioned, when I typed in LGBTQI+ into search bar, this is first thread. I wouldn't know how to make this info easily accessible to any new or passing thru people - & it really is a difficult resource to Google etc.
If a person was not fluent in English, I cannot imagine how difficult it would be.
I would love it if we could make it an accessible resource for all.
Actually, I know I'm not the first person to comment on difficulties on site navigation.
I think the front page stories, with photos etc. Are excellent & providing easy information. It seems they don't get updated often tho.
Okay, I've said enough. @hanami I 💯 know you are brilliant PSW - & things I've mentioned are likely very frustrating to you too - if not more. I actually cannot imagine.
Requesting, maybe pass this on to site developer?
My take is - that if it a consumer has given their time to provide feedback, most owners of business would see this as invaluable.
Gratitude 🦄

Totally great suggestion @StanD . I'm going to pass it on to our service manager.
Haven't seen you around for a while! Hope you've been okay.
I was thinking about you the other day
