I have 2 older brothers and my ring and index fingers are the same length.

 

And yes, John Barrowman's Scottish accent is amazing :D

Wow it started in 2005!

 

Yes - you have a lot of catching up to do!!:P

Can I get your number? :D

How embarrassing. I'm not gay, I swear! I thought the blue thing under his name meant he was a girl. :P

Oh yeah - that's what they all say!!:P

I agree, I think it's obnoxious and stupid, and I'd feel very uncomfortable at one of those gay marches. If there are ever gay marches, the participants should dress and behave normally to prove they're no different from the rest of society. That's the only way to gain acceptance.

 

 

Ok, I have to disagree here. I am gay and not your "typical" gay guy. However, going to gay pride parades is an incredible experience. It is in no way meant to shout out to the world and rub in their faces that we are gay, it is meant to be a coming together of all brothers and sisters in harmony, gay, straight, bi, trans, and to have a great time. Drink a little, party a little and just have an awesome time. When I go, I go with my gay and straight friends and we have a party.

 

I also do not understand what you mean by dress and act normally. There is no one way to act. There are the bears, and the leathers and queens and the regulars and hell, we just are who we are. It is ok to be proud of who you are. It is not rubbing it in anyone's face. Is it wrong for there to be Cinco De Mayo parades and St. Patrick's day parades etc? No, it's people representing who they are and having a great time doing it. Rock and Roll:-)

I'm just supporting the thread.I'm not gay but my adopted brother is.It's bit of a weird (sad) story.This guy was friend with one of my brothers and came out to his parents when he was 14.Very sadly, his parents didn't take I well at all and through him out of the house.That's when he came to live with me and my family.So he's like my brother :) So yeah that's my story

marie/pims, I'm so sorry but at least he had a refuge. I too am not gay but am extremely supportive. I have a friend. She's been my friend since junior high. It wasn't till the we were freshmen in college that she finally admitted to me and another friend of ours that she was bisexual and had been for years. I can recall feeling so bad that she had to live with that. No one should be forced to feel shame for being who they are.

True. I went to one in Cologne a few years back and it was great fun and extremely colourful with a wonderful atmosphere.

Far better than the traditional "carnival", and with much better music.;)

One of my friends was kind of the same with me, when I told her she was so supportive but kind of pissed off that I felt I couldn't tell her before.

I wish I'd been born a lesbian ... men are such dickheads :(

I've never been to a gay parade but I imagine I might find it quite intimidating.

 

We once ended up at the gay village on a night out in Manchester because we couldn't find a bar that was still opened anywhere else. People are lets say far more open about their sexuality. It seems that almost everything is acceptable in some gay bars. It did make us feel uncomfortable even though none of us is homophobic in any way.

 

My friend also had a weird experience in the same area in Manchester. She was looking for a hotel and she found one, which was quite cheap. She left her bags at the reception and went to the toilet. The two guys, who worked at the reception were snogging when she came back. She also found leaflets about sex in the reception area.

Here's a Youtube video about the hyper-sexual world of gay men. I agree that gays tend to be more sexual, and I think there are a few reasons for that, not the least of which is the fact we typically don't follow the same "rules" society sets for heterosexual relationships;

 

Usually you don't have sex with a girl on the first date, you meet people through friends or casual contact, etc.

 

Because 1 in 50 people (on average) is gay, and a portion of these aren't even out of the closet, the dating scene is quite different for us homos. Do the math:

 

1/50 is gay.

 

A fraction (let's say 1/3) of these are within your age-range for dating.

 

A fraction of these is "your type", in their attitudes and looks. (Being generous we can say you're not picky and you'll accept advances from half the guys out there).

 

That's a 1/300 shot at meeting someone suitable for dating - so straights have it really easy.

 

As a result, there isn't usually a basic friendship groundwork that naturally leads to a relationship for us. So the result is hyper-sexualization, and seeking out a quick fix on the internet or at a bar.

Church wants "Gay Boulevard" name changed

 

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – What’s in a name? A lot of your church sits on Gay Boulevard.

 

That’s the case for Second Baptist Church in San Antonio.

 

Officials there want the name changed.

 

In order to do that, the church will pay a $500 application fee to the city to change the name and pay for about $800 worth of new street signs.

 

“First of all, Gay Street, that’s not a proper name because I’m, anti-gay,” said someone with the church.

 

“We get opposition, it’s the people that have an address on the street who have to change stationery or information they have. But there are no residents with the address of gay street right now, so that’s not an issue,” said Roderick Sanchez who is the Director of Development Services.

 

Church officials say this is not all about sexual preference.

 

They say that their facility has been in the neighborhood for 120 years and plans to open a community center down the road.

 

A city park nearby already bears the church’s name.

 

They want the street changed to Second Baptist Way.

 

The San Antonio City Council will vote on the name change proposal Thursday.

The one in New York by any chance?Gay Street in NYC in so pretty

no it was in Alabama...of all places...and i highly doubt the founders of this city or of the city in that article above - back in the 1800s were trying to be controversial....why do people have to be so stupid and close minded????

I agree!! people suck!! :D

Okay I know this is a bit off topic but my friend's street used to be called Hooker Lane, and teenagers would keep stealing the street signs so they renamed it (something boring like Oak St.) :lol:
