I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, btu it seemed to be the most appropriate. I'm so ecstatic :eusa_danc, today was my final day at University and I finally plucked up the courage to go to the Queerspace (essentially a space for queer students to hang out.) I do have to admit though that I was standing outside for like 10mins before I actually went in, I don't know why but I was panicking :eek:, it was that bad that my hands were shaking. I almost didn't go in, but I figured what the who, its my last day of Uni and this is something that I really wanted to do. I'm so glad that I did decide to go in, just to have the experience of going in and hanging out with other gay people from my Uni was fantastic. I also think it was a major step towards fully accepting who I am, and coming out to other people in my life.
Thats great! I'm in my last year of University, and really wished I would have joined the Pride group on campus, but never got up the courage to. Good for you!
WHOO! My uni's "Queerspace" (different name, same idea) was one of the best discoveries I ever made. Even if you couldn't stick around for long, I'm glad you managed to go in there!
Thanks guys, and yeah its for anyone who is 'queer, questioning or queer friendly' (thats a quote I got off their webpage.)
The leader of my schools "Pride Network" (same deal different name) quit They only met one day of the week for an hour and it was ALWAYS when i was not on campus that day or in class. Ugh.
I'm glad you had the courage to go in. that was really brave. when I first joined my school's GSA I literally started sweating and hyperventilating right outside the room, but when I walked in, it was a bunch of my awesome friends from theater and now I love it. definitely worth it!
yay. That is wonderful! It sounds like a neat place. I am hoping I can join some pride group when I go off to college ( if I can actually muster up the courage to actually do it!) I think it was really cool that you did that before you left!
Yeah I am at a point in my life where I have accepted the fact that I need to change some things in my life, and this was part of it. Going to the Queerspace at least once before I finished Uni.
