    I just stumbled across this site via a blog that showed up on the Bear discovery feed. It’s really lovely, and is bringing me so much joy! It’s so good for the soul to see queer stories tacked into places that I have been and known and lived. It makes me feel so connected to the community.

    Both the town I grew up in and the town I currently live in are rural, conservative small towns and there are more pins than I expected! It gives me some hope for the world. And it's all very sweet, simple* stuff. Like "I went on a hike with my some fellow lesbian friends", "we kissed in the woods and fell in love", "I came out to my friend here". It might sound weird, but it's just nice to see queer folks had happy moments in this area. Can't imagine it's always easy to, but they still did and that makes me happy :)

    *- I worry this comes off as dismissive, but that's not my intent at all. I just mean it's not all paragraphs of elaborate love stories. Just little moments of realizing something about one's self or getting to explore that for the first time

    This is absolutely fantastic OP, thanks for sharing. I could barely find my country because it has so many pins in it. It’s delightful to read the messages.

    "lost my virginity to a girl in a bathroom on one of the top floors of the <hotel> on a friend's birthday..."

    "F*cked you at my workplace during pride 2018"
