The gay community with overt men’s spaces to meet other men often express lack of understanding how women meet prospective partners. That largely changed this week in social media. We learned love often shows up when we least expect it, and queer women everywhere are sharing proof. On Reddit’s r/actuallesbians, users have opened up about the adorable, unexpected moments that sparked lasting relationships. One Redditor shared, “She worked as a bartender at my favorite sushi restaurant… She said I could have my order in exchange for my number.” They engaged four years later. From defending trans rights online to bonding over video games, culinary school swords, and even a TikTok comment, these meet-cute stories remind us that love — queer love — truly finds a way. Where do you meet other queer women and lesbians?
