It's a Gay Life

[Niur]

Aren't they one and the same?

Woah crazy similarpostatthesametime status.

+10pts.

I don't know. My mom took me to them when I was like 5 or something.

[Buffett and Colbert]

Meh, you've never been to a parade or festival if you haven't been to Puerto Rico, anyway.

[Malsitar]

I've never been to a parade I haven't been playing an instrument in. Yay for Band Geeks.

I've never been to a Gay Pride Parade either.

[Takaram]

I've heard they can be quite gay events.

[Dengu]

I've got nothing against gay people; I really don't care what someone decides to do with their personal time. Nor do I intend to tell anyone how to live, but I don't see the need for a bunch of guys dressed like The Little Mermaid all shouting at me: "We're just like you! We're just like you!"

No....you're not like me because I don't have a lit sparkler hanging outta my ass. Go back to your job and enjoy your lifestyle without blocking/rerouting traffic while I'm attempting to cross town.

Same goes for the Irish on St Patty's Day.

Or India.

I've heard the parties get wild down in the Jewel. Didn't you folks invent half of the modern sexual positions?

Half? Damn British spread around that rumor? We're so embarrassed!

It was at least 3/4s.

That would be the Kama Sutra I believe.

[Pottslande]

I'm bisexual hetero-romantic.

I could not imagine myself in a relationship with someone of my own sex. But I wouldn't turn down a nice night with one if the opportunity ever came up.

Though with the opposite sex I'm far stricter on when I can have sex with them, probably because I'm more mentally invested.

Not that I've had time to put either theory into real practice, this is mainly what I've just figured out from how I've been attracted to various people throughout my life.

That was a fabulous pun.

Don't you mean "Louisiana" there?

But not as fabulous as my bun. *drums*

You can blame me for all that...I love when people are wacky, and I love the absurd and unexpected. Big hairy dudes dressed up as Little Mermaid? AWESOME. Add sparklers up their bums and you've got the makings of a great party.

Yes, I am part of the problem.

It's not like that's because it's a gay parade, but because it's a gay parade. Parades are supposed to be festive.

Also, being gay isn't a "lifestyle". A gay person can live any lifestyle: goth, furry, indie musician, fast life, drug life, thug life, rock life every night. All of the lights.

...okay, I think I got sidetracked.

Homosexuality is as much a lifestyle as is one's favorite soda.

Living the life of Tizer is quite fulfilling.

Well im 100% straight man. That being said, however, I think if you wanna be gay that's cool if that's what makes you happy then go for it and be you

It means less competition for you, at least for gay males. s far as gay females, I have heard that for some reason or another straight men find lesbians very attractive.

[Sarzonia]

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

Bullshit.

Saying "fag" around someone who considers you his best friend and then using "gay" as a putdown when the person who's hearing the words is gay is at the very least insensitive and at worst downright bigoted.

I've called out friends who've used those words and have had said friends tell me to drop it. I'm sure I've killed or at least weakened one or two friendships or stunted the growth of one or two potential friendships because I refuse to drop it or let it go.

Buffy, I'd suggest you have a serious conversation with your "friend" where you make it clear what your feelings are about his use of those words. If he refuses to stop, then you really do need to reconsider whether or not he deserves to call you his friend.

Buffy, listen to this.

Don't let words put you down. That is all I have to say on the matter.

For the most part, I seem to specialise in the hilarious coming out episodes.

I'll give an example. One person whom I met about two years ago I'd learned after we became Facebook friends was very heavily into Christian ministry and the like. I'll admit to doing some profiling, so I was nervous about ever bringing up the subject of my sexual orientation around him, or even mentioning the word "gay" around him in any context.

A few months after we first met, the subject of the then-current Twilight movie New Moon came up. He recommended I go see the movie, not knowing that I watch movies about as often as the U.S. has a presidential election. What I thought hilarious was the reason he recommended the movie. Bear in mind that I took pains to not bring up my sexual orientation around him. He recommended I go see the movie because Taylor Lautner spent "half the movie with his shirt off." As soon as he said that, I knew he knew and that he was cool with it.

When I came out to my father and his partner, the last question Dad #1 asked me (the "acid test question") was, "do you like Bette Midler."

I wish I knew someone in real life that I could talk to about stuff like this. Nobody seems to bring it up anymore.

I'm sure he would stop if I asked, but it's just kind of embarrassing for me to bring it up. Which is stupid, I know, but still. And I don't want any of my few friendships to be potentially hurt.
