It's a Gay Life

[Britarvia]

My dad has this idea that I can't possibly have a good life if I'm gay.

My father is amazingly cool with it, though he still jokes about it. My liberal mother has more trouble with it.

Wouldnt a Conservative mother have a hard time accepting it?

In slightly related news, our batshit insane principal decided that cutting a gigantic hole into the wall of the boys bathroom so that you can see everyone using a urinal from the most busy halway in the school was a good way of discouraging graffiti.... I'm not sure what I was going to say about this....

Sounds like a horrible idea.

That's not creepy and pedo-ish at all.

Technically it's not pedo-ish, when you consider what "pedo" actually means.

Its odd like that. My father has the idea that if its someone choice, then he has no right to interfere or judge them. My mother is still clinging to the idea that continuing the family is the most important duty of any child.

Well I guess if you were the only child in the family she might have a hard time with that. I guess I would be a little frustrated about that too.

It's not a choice though!

It doesn't matter if it is or isn't. /opinion

Anyway, though I am not an only child, my brother is seen as the one needed to be cared for... My family puts a lot of faith on my shoulders, due to my brother's lack of ability and drive.

^This. I feel like it capitulates to the idea of gay-itude as inherently debased to overemphasize that one does not choose to be gay (and what does that imply about bi and pan folks?)

[-Homodia-]

Well, hello boys!

[Blouman Empire]

Because lesbians don't exist, amirite?

Lesbians aren't gay, they're lesbians. Duh.

I've never liked it when people use the term gay to refer to lesbians. To me, it seems like lesbians get their own word, let us have our word.

Why though? Gay is gay

Don't be sexist now

I first realized I was gay when I was around 12-13. I started slowly inching out of the closet until I got caught by my best friend watching gay porn. He then turned on me and tried to torture and blackmail me, and another "friend" tried to solicit sexual favors from.

And did you?

That wasn't the best move for me.

[Greengrow]

Is gayness really a thing or is it a choice? I've heard both sides of the argument and I hardly know which is true.

Does it matter?

No and the people who like to argue it and use it as a reason for supporting gay marriage are bigots themselves.

[Greengrow]

Does it matter?

Yeah, because if it were a choice, people would be doing it to get attention and lower society's standard of them, which is kinda despicable.

I've dated hot girls to get attention from the guys

[Greengrow]

Tsh. Guys' genes aren't at all compatible with my own. It's impossible to induce any offspring with a male, let alone superior ones.

Zeus was pretty good at it, *nods*

While I have the body of a god I am not an immortal being so can't do it

[Greengrow]

As I recall, some famous actor who's name escapes me had two darling twins with his gay lover. I can't remember his name... I think he was in Harold and Kumar... I dunno.

Neil Patrick Harris?

It was Ricky Martin and they didnt have the DNA from both partners

[Greengrow]

An old housemate of mine came out to me when I was living with him: I could barely muster a response--I didn't care. He expected a ton of shock, and I had none. So long as he didn't eat my food or possess in the sink, I was cool.

That does piss me off when gay people expect some sort of outrage or a lot of sympathy when I just give a who gives a fuck response they get pissed off.

Are you coming out for attention or because you want to let us know. I don't give a fuck so don't look for a response

[Greengrow]

I have to say, I'm pretty happy with some of the conversations going on in here. It's good to see everyone discussing issues in their life and for others to do what they can to help out. I'd be happy to help out as well, if anyone has any questions, considering I can already relate to a lot of people here, having strict conservative Christian parents.

I have strict conservative parents and they still love me and accept me.

What are you implying?

[Greengrow]

You know, this reminds me when Peter Griffin of Family Guy said that gays were clean people and that they originated from France. I pose a question from that statement: are there any gay or lesbian people here on NS that are meticulous cleaners? No discrimination here, just a thought. If I were gay, I'd still be a slob like I am now.

I thought gay people originated from England? Or maybe Greece, where they invented it.

Basil Fawlty: Gay? I knew it, I should never have hired him

Polly: He's Greek Mr Fawlty

Fawlty: Greek? Well that explains it, I mean they invented it

[Greengrow]

Does the tidy stereotype only apply to gay males? Is it an femininity thing?

Well... one look in my room or locker would show you just how untidy I am.

You're 14 its understandable

[Greengrow]

Except for hot guys. Unless they're bastards, assholes, or have boyfriends.

^This

so most hot guys

[Greengrow]

Im not trying to offend anyone but do gay men really have that weird high voice ?

No only the annoying ones

[Greengrow]

My best friend is gay and I've seen him offer displays of jealousy that would put some straight men to shame, to put it a tad humorously. In fact, I think some gay men (not all) can even feel more strongly about things than some of their heterosexual counterparts. This, however, is my experience with gay men and in no way translates to them all.

Perhaps a gay divorce isn't so happy after all?

Gays dont get divorced or break up ever

[Greengrow]

Usually it's easier than you'd think.

My mom didn't even seem to be affected when I came out to her. But she did get mad that one time when I said, "Justin Bieber's hot."

Anyways, conratulations!

But it would be so good to run your hand through when making out plus he has a hot body
Can't blame her, I would too. I just don't see what people see in him. His face is nice, but his hair bugs me way too much.

[Greengrow]

I just wanna know how one would go about eventually coming out of the closet...

Well you can do it the attention seeking way proclaiming to the word and hiring a billboard that shows your face and the words "I love sucking cock"

Or you can just get yourself a boyfriend and when someone asks you if you are gay confirm it.

bit harsh but I feel sorry for people who have to define themselves on their sexuality

[Greengrow]

Lesbians, Feminists, Gay Activists, Transesxuals, Furries etc. (no offense meant) are just trying to seem hip and cool by being out of the mainstream. They don't actually believe what they say, do they?

The only thing which you can make a point a the omnisexuals. It's a shame that being gay isn't even being different anymore we ahve to come up with bullshit

[Greengrow]

Like I said earlier, people have only just been catching wind of the fact that I'm gay. People generally just call me fag or bitch, but not in a really horribly-natured way.

That doesn't bother me, but what bothers me is that my best friend (although I've been wondering about that "best" part nowadays) constantly uses "fag" right in my face, today even saying, "That song is so horrible! It's so gay." It coming from him hurts.

Buffy you are finding discrimination and bigotry when there is none.

I get called a fag by my bf all the time and I call something gay less the 5 hours after i've ridden a cock. donesn't make us any less gay or homophobic.

i have another friend who is gay he calls people fags and gets called a fag by his close mates because he knows they say it without any malice or hatred.

You just need to lighten up and stop looking for things that aren't there
