    There are many different LGBT groups around Ireland. Some are LGBT, some are just for women, some just for men, some just for bi's....don't see the problem here?

    What about members of the LGBT who may identify as Lesbian/Gay or Trans or may even identify as Straight but maybe exploring issues around Bisexuality?

    As is often said on this Forum Sexuality is fluid. You cant box people into strict categories.

    That said the group sounds like a fantastic idea! Would love to give it a go but unfortunatly am down in Limerick. Best of luck!

    gay groups also have their own meets but it dosen't stop bisexuals coming along. imagine if that was suggested? there would be uproar!

    I don't really care about that to be honest. Also some people like me would not be interested, comfortable or bothered being in a gay group or in an organisation like LGBT. It doesn't suit me, it doesn't suit my desired level of participation in the 'community' and it doesn't suit my desire to publicly announce my orientation (such as pride days etc). There is no compulsory order in existence that demands everyone, because they are gay or not, gets invited into a group of any description. That is determined by descriptive invitation at the discretion of the organisers and members not some philosophy that resides in the ether. I'm not gay and from experience and talking to gay friends who don't know I'm bi, some of their attitudes toward bisexual people quite frankly stinks. So each to their own. You don't have to come along if you don't like the Modus Operandi. Form your own group. We are just trying to sort ourselves out with people who understand how it feels to be bi, not gay not transgender etc. Just bi. Other groups have already been set up to deal with other sexual orientations and issues and you are free to join as many of them as you like until the cows come home! A lot of people who want to be involved in this group want to do so in a very private manner as they/we are not out. There are other issues in the background here other than pigeon holing sexual orientations or displaying a lack of fluidity. The fact is that sexuality is fluid for some and confirmed one way or another for others.

    All interested will be emailed by me tomorrow privately, to let you know where to meet. It will be some where private in Galway City Centre at 7pm. Awaiting venue confirmation this evening. Thanks.

    *bump* for kiwipower

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Thanks Mango Salsa your the best!

    Actually, Just as a side thought, would it be possible to have some type of search function for the forum, where you can search through threads you have posted on?

    Cheers

    curious. is this group still active or gone. any alternative groups ? kind of new to this shall we say and thought the idea of this group sounded like great support for newbies though I'm not so young. I'm in my 30's. I guess it would be nice to chat to females in similar situation.

    It did just send me a notification though. I was too shy to come along to the group back in the day, no idea if I'm less shy now but I am still subscribed to the thread, at the very least.

    Folks - theres no point in you all saying - "if something gets started" - it wont get started if you all say that

    Yep... old thread I know but I'm still going to respond. I'm setting up a group. I'm new to Galway and will hold the first get together in July. Any recommendations for venue? Sunday brunch? Friday night dinner? Anyone?

    Old post but I'll give it a try
    Married man 40, mostly spending time at work and home, probably bi curious as i wanted to meet a guy for absolutely desceet relationship. No parties no nights out , just someone who wouldn't declare his orientation to public but seems it's not quite possible, in Galway anyway,
    Ahh it's hard to find someone with same preferences in this little town
