Welcome!

Settle in, friend — the porch lights on, the breeze is soft, and the kettle just finished singing. This is our very first blog post, and honestly? It feels a little like opening the front door for the first guest at a brand‑new housewarming. There’s excitement, a touch of nerves, and a whole lot of joy.

The Pride Porch began as a daydream — the kind you get when you’re wishing for something that should already exist. A place where queer adults could wander in, plop down on a comfy chair, and say, “Hey, I’m here. Anyone want to talk?” No swiping. No pressure. No “What are you looking for?” with a wink. Just friendship, in its purest, coziest form.

Think of this blog as the porch journal — the spot where stories drift in like fireflies, where we share updates, reflections, and little sparks of queer joy. Some days it might be a soft, thoughtful ramble. Other days it might be a chaotic rainbow confetti explosion. Both are welcome here.

You’re welcome here.

Whether you’re searching for new friends, curious about our journey, or simply enjoying the quiet company of a community growing in real time, you’ve got a seat on this porch. And we’re so grateful you showed up.

Here’s to beginnings, to connection, and to building something beautiful together — one conversation at a time.
