The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Soft*Silver · 03-09-2010, 06:02 PM

I wonder where all the silver back butches are...maybe they are not inclined to come out and challenge the youth oriented BF culture. I know that I have looked for 55 and older...and few are found...

UGH, it is at the same time as the BFP ReUnion! I want to go to little Rock, but, have wanted to attend a femme conference as an ally (and volunteer) for a long time. Oh well, I may not have the $ to go to Little Rock and this is way close by!!

ALH..Yes u are definatly right on the money,most of whats hear is college kids.Near every college has a gsa,we have a pflag that meets once a month but dosent do anything but have a coffee and donut meeting,there is something called pace, but its geared up for the high end folks and to get in u pay a pricy membership fee,plus anything they do in activities cost from 50 to a 100 bucks to go to but even they arent too active.
I was planing on going to visit a fue places to find a more queer place to live,but as long as my back is like it is that wont happen,tho I do keep hopeing for the best to happen.Now if I took out the bf and stone butch equasion and became a guarden variaty lesbian ..would it make a diffrents..I just done know.I just know I cant chang who I am to please other people.

I just want to add that Youngstown, Ohio has a great LGBT community, and while small, is very active. I have been out in all my jobs here. My mobile home park has other openly gay people living here. And we have all 4 seasons. While I would love a longer growing season (I am an avid gardener) I cant give up my fall and winter. Cleveland and Akron and Pittsburgh are a short drive away. And our housing is so cheap! I am buying a house for $10,000. Can you beat that where you live?
