| | I would have to agree with all your posts. I have been out in Edmonton for over two years, and I only have one gay friend. I know a few other gay people but it isn't easy. I say keep on trekking. |

| | So have any of you got over this fear yet? I noticed a few of you felt the same way I do. Anyone finding they are getting more into the community somehow? Is anyone finding that it is a welcoming community here? I still find that it is very hard to get into the community. |

| Hey there, like a lot of you, I'm trying to become more involved in the community, but there just doesn't seem to be much out there in Edmonton. I've checked a few resources, but I'm not a naturist, I'm not into leather, I'm not transgender, I'm not a bear...the only one that has sparked my interest was the lesbian wine tasters, but I'm not a lesbian either  I know we have the Roost or Buddies in Edmonton, but I'm not a big fan of clubs whether they're gay or straight. What's a gay man to do? |

| So, while I understand your plight, the lesbian wine tasters completely distracted me from your post. For that, I apologize  but at the same time, I would like to know more about these said "wine tasters".Where did you stumble across this group of lesbian wine tasters, and point me in their direction if you please. I appreciate your assistance, and thank you for your info. golfy golferson |

| | I've been in Edmonton for a couple of months now and finding it really hard to adjust here. Not only in "getting into" the community but making friends in general. I am not sure if its just city folk that I dont get but Edmonton is a hard city to meet people. I stumbled accross this website, read through some of the posts and find it refreshing finding a site that is not precluded by sexual encounters but actual thoughts and feelings of the GLBT community. As well it seems that the only way to meet people here is at the bars, and well ive done the bar scene and done my time of hazy nights and bad beer with awful headaches. Ive done the online thing and well yes ive met some great people but find the majority are only after one thing. Ive lived in 4 different countries and had many life experiences but find Edmonton has been one of the hardest places to live so far...... Thoughts? comments? all would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps some individuals just do not fit in a stable life close to the village where they were born;
they by instinct need to search for a new place far away.
Many people travel for a few months before settling into a career and starting a family life.
However, some become hooked on traveling
and can never really return home,
as they are searching for the place where they could resettle, risking never to find it
simply because they are addicted to the search.

| | >>Not only in "getting into" the community but making friends in general. Hmmm... Try coming out to the Potluck on Monday, March the 13th at the Pride Centre, or try the In Out Get together group (recently launched) which aims at providing a social space, or try the Mad Hatter's Ball on the 18th. Perhaps you may want to see the Volleyball group, bowling or curling or look out for Open Mic nites. Browse the website or drop by the Centre to collect pamphlets and loads of other information material. Does this help?
