I work at a hotel in Alberta and we are incredibly passionate about making sure that our LGBTQ+ guests are welcomed and comfortable and happy. Pride is our favourite season and I am so proud to be a small part of such an incredible community ❤️🏳️🌈
Hey Ingrid, I am not sure if you actually read these but I really wanted to reach out. I am still in the closet as bisexual but I am so incredibly moved by all of your videos, especially during Pride Month. I have been watching you for years (I was only 11 or 12 when I started watching you do makeup and DIYs and all that). I remember being so incredibly moved by your Coming Out video and as I watch it as I grow older, I am mature enough to see that I am struggling with a lot of similar issues you had. I am so thankful you have talked so openly about depression on your channel as that is something I have always struggled with too. One thing that really stuck out to me was your discussion of guilt or feeling selfish in your coming out video, something I will probably always struggle with (I always find myself guilty, or that I was the problem, even when I am not). Watching your videos and seeing you evolve has given me so much hope and joy. I don't know if this will ever reach you but I just wanted to thank you and let you know that it means the world to me. Someday, I want to read all of the books you have recommended and just be able to connect because I feel like we have very similar personalties and they may move me in a similar way. All in all, I Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I love you and you mean a lot to me. I am so thankful for finding your videos back in the early 2010s and that I have stuck around and seen you grow. Thank you for living your fullest truth and letting us in on some of the tough stuff, it means a hell of a lot to people like me. (Sidenote: Ahh! I see you were in Upstate. I live in Syracuse but attend school in Geneva (15 minutes away from Cayuga and Seneca Falls) Good to see us get some credit :) )
"I wish I could dedicate a whole video to this" -- please do! Even if I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community, I find your videos really interesting and educational. We all become better when we learn different histories!
Thank you for making this video, Ingrid! As a queer person who doesn't drink, it's so nice to learn about community spaces that aren't bars. Two additional NYC recommendations I'll make for folks: The LGBT Community Center - they have events, support groups, a bookstore, art installations, a cafe, and so much more! MNDFL (Greenwich Village location) - a meditation studio that hosts an LGBTQ sit every friday night
Omg Ingrid this video means so much to me! I live in Brooklyn near the Crown Heights area and I’m from Rochester, NY. The Finger Lakes hold SUCH a special place in my heart! Canadaguia is home to the spot where Susan B Anthony was arrested for voting. Rochester is where her home/museum is and she is buried! Definitely recommend continuing to explore Western, NY!
Love this! In Chicago people always talk about Boystown, but if you're not as into the nightlife scene like me, check out Andersonville. Women & Children First bookstore has an amazing selection. Hamburger Mary's is also great - they host drag shows throughout the week, in a more relaxed environment.
I want to recommend "La Masa Restaurant" in the Bronx. They just started 'Pride Wednesday'. Every Wednesday is a pride celebration with deliciously excellent #colombian food and #vegan options!!! Great video 💞🌈💞 looking foward to trying out these spots soon😍🙏😍
I never hear people talk about Seneca Falls so it makes me so happy to see you went there! I used to live there and I still sort of do and just ahhh, so much history in this area! I'm so happy you came to the finger lakes region~
Awesome video Ingrid! Your videos bring VALUE to our community, because you don't just sit down and talk about the same old stuff people have BEEN talking about for years... Thank you for being original, love it! Love You & Erica!
Thank you so much for creating this much-needed short film for our community. Continue your amazing work. Love and appreciation, Julia Qing Reaves (Your Average New Yorker)
@@justanotheruser2611 as a supporter I totally agree!!!! We are so fortunate to have such an amazing place as the human rights museum here in Winnipeg. I recommend everyone who travels here to Manitoba to see it. ☺
Thanks for sharing, Ingrid! I loved the background and history you’ve provided from each location alongside your own thoughts and experiences. Thanks for linking to everything and providing addresses in the description as well! As a fellow New Yorker, I’m excited at the opportunity to learn of some new places that you mentioned and can’t wait to go check them out!
This was such an enlightening video topic, Ingrid! Thank you for sharing it with us. All of these place look so awesome and are filled with such interesting and teaching topics and concepts!! 👏🏼💗
Ingrid you make the best travel videos. I hope you continue to make more in the future. I never knew about all those interesting places around the Ithica area, I might need to take a trip this summer! My mom saw this vid as well and she was blown away by the locations as well. We live near Buffalo N.Y. so it would make a nice educational trip :D Thanks Ingrid!!
I live in Long Beach & there's this cute lesbian-owned cafe called Wide Eyes Open Palm that everyone should check out. I also love the bars on Broadway in LB especially Sweetwater Saloon.
The first two places are right near where I used to live in Brooklyn!! I wish I'd known then!! I saw Cafe Eloise a bajillion times but I never stepped in!
I am so incredibly happy that you came to central New York! I’ve recently moved to Auburn and I live right by the new center! I work near Seneca Falls and I go to school by Ithaca! This means so much to me to have this area recognized for its inclusivity!
I paused the video because I just want to say that not only is this video beautifully edited, I also find it so amazing that you talk about such an important topic! There is so much quality content in what you share, which I love. Really, really good work! :)
This video is wonderful Ingrid! I live in England but I will actually be visiting New York this summer so I'm really excited to visit a couple of these places, especially the bookshop and the museum!
i agree with your review of the bluestockings bookstore. they have unique stories on display. i passed by there with my friend when we were just walking through the city after brunch and it was so empowering to see the diversity in voices displayed i'm looking forward to checking out the food places you recommended, thank you for these suggestions
I want to live in that bookshop! The museum also looks absolutely incredible - I feel emotional just seeing your shots of it, and relate completely to the way you said it makes you feel to be able to see LGBTQ+ art & history.
One place I love in NYC (though it may not be for everyone) is the Museum of Sex! Really cool exhibition of all kinds of things LGBTQ related and a very intimate place! :)
Thank you for this. So very much. I don't drink and although bars are fun & all it does feel like they're the only option if you want to hang with Family. I'm going to check out that bookstore this weekend! I work in BK, as well. Seriously, thanks Ingrid~K
This is so well-made and interesting, Ingrid! You've been making such good content during pride month 🌈 Thank you for sharing all these tips and stories!
LOVE this video! So many places to check out next time we go down to NY! I'm in Worcester, MA and we have a big Pride flag flying right by the highway most of the year (It gets replaced with a team flag during major championships if a Boston team is playing - at least if it is the Red Sox of Pats). I cant think of any specific places - but we havent been able to get out much in the last 3 years that we have lived here while my fiancee was in Vet school but she's a real Dr now so hopefully we will get out and explore more soon.
I incredibly loved this video, especially for the vibes that you give to your audience ❤💛💚💙💜 thank you 😘 Ps. Even if it has nothing to do with the video 😂 can I ask where you got your shirt?
Honey I wish you didnt have to specifically create a community for your gender😔 Our humanity needs ti grow the fuck up already. Great video - straight- me would also visit these ❤️
I have a question about the use of the word “queer” in reference to LGBTQ etc. Ingrid seems to use the word a lot these days but I recall a time when this word was considered offensive. Is that not the case anymore? I can’t help but cringe every time I hear her say it because to me it’s still defined as “weird” or “strange” etc or used as an offensive term to describe homosexual people. Does it have to do with where your from? Thoughts?
Queer is a word that has been reclaimed by the community, and can be used as an umbrella term and also as its own identity. It has a strong political history with the queer liberation movement, as well. I myself identify as queer.
Ingrid, have you ever honestly asked yourself if you were lesbian before Hannah or if Hannah manipulated you and turned you? it's a serious question you deserve to ask yourself. I know for certain that Swike was into guys before Hannah and never saw her show any interest in girls.
Hey, being manipulated or “turned” gay is not a thing! And highly inappropriate for you to be suggesting! Have a nice day and maybe never question a stranger’s identity again!
@@DanFrederiksen Sorry, it's pretty funny that you would accuse me of being hostile when you're attacking people on the internet! Are you a lesbian?! What kind of authority do you think you have over strangers? It's none of your business. Just because Ingrid and other youtubers share some things online doesn't mean your entitled to know anything else. Like I say, if you concentrate on your own life, this stuff won't matter to you. Good luck to you

Oh yeah I forgot pride was a season yeah there's spring, summer, fall, and pride. Don't forget pride the reason y'all!!!

I’m not even queer and I find these videos so interesting as a supporter!
Megan Alexis me too!

Her hairstyle probably drives her crazy. To many guys would like her. Want to date 📅 her.

It seems that Kristine is a great assistant. The content has improved and evolved so much becoming more conscious, mature and meaningful. Thank you!
This video unexpectedly made me REALLY emotional. Great idea for a video- thank you for sharing
You're pathetic

Thanks for including Bluestockings! I also love Mood Ring, a queer bar with an astrology theme in Brooklyn
Seeing this makes me happy!!! I will always support you and others in the LGBTQ+ community!! 🌈🏳️🌈
This video made me so emotional, honestly. I just love how passionate you are about sharing these places.
Thank you so much for creating this much-needed short film for our community.

The Human Rights Museum here in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. It is beautiful and inspiring. 💖

In brooklyn there is the lesbian archives museum

You can’t film there though

I've been to Bluestockings Bookstore and I had no idea it was LGBT+ owned. I love it just as a bookstore. Thanks for the extra dimension, Ingrid

I LOVE this video and it makes me miss NY so much ;-; thank you for this, Ingrid! When I go back, I'll definitely have to reference this video ^~^
finally, some lgbtq+ spaces that aren't centered around partying and alcohol. thanks for sharing this!
This is such a unique fun video!! Absolutely love the concept of it 🌺🧡😊

Very cool Ingrid, that Lgbtqi visual arts museum was fresh

VERY cool video idea!

Thank you so much Ingrid. I have been learning english through your videos. Your stories are really interesting and your voice is beautiful too.
The blue bag in the back of the car towards the end of the video - I have the same one! :D I bought mine in Osaka, Japan, a few years back.
Thanks for the Ithaca shoutout!
This is so well-made and interesting, Ingrid! You've been making such good content during pride month 🌈 Thank you for sharing all these tips and stories!
I love this; wish someone did this for Dallas TX
Inspiring and thoughtful content❤️🏳️🌈
Since you seem to live/enjoy being in Brooklyn, Clover Club is a great brunch and cocktail bar.
Loved this video Ingrid :)
Great video! One of my favourite local places is Little Jo Berry’s in Ottawa, Canada! 🇨🇦

There is a tour called Christopher Street Tours in NYC that does LGBTQ history tours. Highly recommend.
