Topics of the Month
Welcome to The Lesbian Lifestyle Blog! Since 2004 The Lesbian Lifestyles’ mission has been a simple one. This blog was created to collect the real life stories written by lesbians from around the world. The TLL authors share stories from their lives in the name of allowing our readers to see just how alike, and sometimes different we all are. Many of our stories have a great deal to do with our sexual orientation, but the topics that are covered span several genres. At TLL you will find a vast collection of stories to read, relate to, and enjoy.
Each month, in addition to their normal posts, the TLL Authors are given 1-3 topics to write about. They can chose to take a traditional route on the topic, or give it a bit of their own personal twist. If you’re not an author and want to write on one of these topic please click here.

TLL Editor's Pick
My Lesbian Radio/The Lesbian Lounge
As I age there isn’t much I like. As a matter of fact with each year I add on I’ve also learned that I become less enthused about making people happy and more in tune about what makes me happy. I haven’t gone Rosie O’Donnell on folks yet, but the cusp of it is a’comin’!
That said, there is one thing that makes me happy consistently every Wednesday night. (Though due to work I’m continually a week behind and have to listen to the podcast) The Lesbian Lounge is not a blog, but it is an AMAZING lesbian owned and operated podcast that makes me ride the “pee my pants wave” (PAD UP) on a weekly basis. I’m sure I’ve featured Denise and Donna before, but this podcast is worth another mention. Please, do your lesbian self a favor and listen to the girls and their guests on Wednesday nights from 9-11pm US EDT. You can get all the details on their website, and if you can’t tune in live you can get the podcast from iTunes the Monday after the show.
New blogs will be featured around the 1st and 15th of each month. Do you have a blog you would like to see as a TLL Editor’s Pick? Is there a new blog out there written by a lesbian that you think TLL should check out? Send us your suggestions!

QUESTION:
I am feeling absolutely lonely. I am gay, but still in the closet. I always knew I was gay, but it was clear two years ago when I met this amazing girl. For the following one and a half years we had a roller-coaster relationship that opened my mind, my heart, and relieved me from all my doubts. But she is gone now, I am in completely strange city ( I am only studying here, this is not even my country), and I don’t know the LGBT community of the place where I am living. I am confused, feeling more gay than ever, and having no idea how to continue this process. Please can you show me the light? Can you give me some tips of what should I be doing to meet girls, and to get involved in the lgbt community… every day that passes I feel more ready to come out… but in the same time… more scared I am to face the world.

Hey there everyone!
I can’t believe I have actually summoned the courage to submit a post here! I don’t know where to begin and to be quite honest it feels strange pouring my thoughts out to people I don’t know. But I really don’t have anyone to talk to. Here’s my deal: For the past few months (well closer to a year) I have gone through moments where I think I am a lesbian. I will read an article, see a lesbian couple, etc and feel hesitant interest and turned on (in certain scenarios). I made out with a girl in 7th grade and we fooled around a bit but it didn’t really mean anything to me, it actually felt kind of normal. Then in high school my three girlfriends and I would hook up for fun – it was kind of like practicing for hooking up with guys. But I remember liking it and getting turned on. However, I have always been turned on by guys too and loved male interest and have ALWAYS fantasized about my dream wedding and dream life with the guy and our children.
I just started dating my boyfriend in May and he is a wonderful guy. I really like him and enjoy spending time with him but I am not in love with him. I want to be but I don’t feel a passion with him. Lately I can’t stop thinking that I might be a lesbian since I did flirt with this out-lesbian at a party in July. But I still enjoy male attention and want so badly to fall in love with a man.
I’m going through a difficult time (graduating college, unaware of future, etc.) and this whole confusion is really adding to my stress. I feel completely nauseous and sad and scared when I think of the possibility of being a lesbian (please – I mean no disrespect at all!!) I just wish I could get all these anxious thoughts out of my head – I can’t even stand to think sometimes. I feel so lost and withdrawn from life in general.
Anyways, sorry for rambling!! I was just wondering if anyone went through the same thing and has any advice or comfort?

QUESTION:
My daughter who is 30 just divorced and is now with a hard fem? I just want to understand the “roles.” My daughter is a girly girl..I have no problem with her being gay its just that the girl she is with is very controlling and her ex husband also was. Her partner has been out for 35 years and is acting like this is her first rodeo and I know that is a lie…so any information on this would be helpful thanks.

I was an angel in her eyes. Yes, every text had ” Oh you’re such an angel”. You think that would be such a compliment right? Yeah, I did too.
So who is this person and why do they think I’m such an angel. This is none other than the mother of my girlfriend. This 54 year old devoted mormon from Utah. Hard to believe huh! I’m the angel who nursed her ill daughter back to good health. I’m the angel who supported her precious child when deciding to move to Saudia Arbia. The one who flew out to celebrate her birthday. Even though I had only met her once and spent only a few hours in her presence.
You could say wow!! How lucky to be loved and accepted. Well, now here’s the kicker. Yes, just like most things it was too good to be true.
Mom flew out to Saudi for daughters birthday. She took the gifts I bought my girlfriend. Nothing explicit, degrading or disrespectful. They had a great time together. Now Mom is home and she came back with something other than jet lag.
Distaste comes to mind. No, probably an emotion much strong than distaste. I guess she found out me and my girlfriend were more than coworkers. Mom no longer responds to texts, struggled through the only phone call made and ended it with” I’m sorry I’m so distracted”. No I love you or you’re an angel. Just repeatedly ” I’m sorry I’m distracted”.
I guess this angel lost her wings!
. Good
