Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion.

Like when characters are black or asian. You know, but they don't have to tell you or make the story about it. That will be a fun time.

This thread is fucked up. You're no different than me, or anyone else. You're not 'special' or 'different' for liking dicks instead of vaginas.
Why do gay people get a thread? That's the 'oh, look at me' mentality that goes against any idea of equality. It's 2010, man. Give it a break.
Pretty weak.
Why don't you go create a heterosexual dating thread on this board then? I don't think you will find many girls on here though.
If I were gay I would absolutely want a gamer boyfriend. I have tried making out with other guys when drunk but it really didn't do anything for me and the thought of even touching another mans dick disgusts me. I somehow wish I was bisexual though. I would have been open to so many more experiences then.
;o I don't think I could try making out with other guys, I'd probably have to be pretty drunk haha. But dick actually disgusts me a lot less.. basically, femininity is a turn on in general and sexualism (wish it was a real word) is a turn on, but actual men aren't.
Hey guys! I had a wonderful weekend! R1CH, I was looking for you, I even asked Hotbid and Kennigit, but nobody knew where you were!
Anyway, is this the most racially balanced MLG or what? 1 zerg, 1 terran, two protosses in the final 4! I was so happy. better than 6 terrans at the top last anaheim...
Besides cheering my head off for DRG this weekend, I got to meet and shook hands with a lot of players. Apparently MKP was walking around the complex like nobody's business (no he wasn't mobbed by fans), so my friends got pictures with him!
other than that, I want to leave you guys with a pic of me and my bf, or as I call him: pseudo-DRG.

When/how did you felt ready to announce to your IRL friends/family that you were gay? Why did you do it ? (why do you want people to know you're gay)
And would you say being gay is an important part of your personality ?
Changes from person to person for most answers, but i haven't posted in this thread in forever.
Built up to the moment where i was first going to tell somebody in constant fear of becoming something wrong in their eyes (silly fear given my friends to be honest.) I finally did it because, well, you can only be in fear of something so long and it needed to be done.
Why did I do it? Because telling people is a smaller shock than them finding out when your boyfriend comes to visit or they see you kissing another guy in a photo, hugging people way too much, etc. etc. I want people to know i'm gay only because otherwise i'm assumed straight, and it's an assumption that's false. (Seriously, I am like the most non-flamboyant non-gay sounding gay guy i've ever heard. and the only reason people assumed I was gay was because I never looked for a girlfriend while going to college.)
Being gay isn't an important part of my personality at all. I'm going to be going to a new school soon and the first thing im going to tell my roommate is "Hey, i'm 22, previously been to school, gay, and a HUUUUUGE nerd who will probably be in the room or the library the whole time. Hope that's not a problem." Being gay isn't an important part of the personality that makes who I am, but I will say it's an important part of me. Makes me who I am and all that.
Edit: I gotta say I still feel silly trying to claim there is still a thing as a "gay sounding" or "gay looking" guy. I dunno. There are probably little tip-offs here and there, but i failed to see any of them in myself that i see in other gay guys.

Thank you ! I liked your answers, i can understand why people prefer to know. If i may add another one : do you sometimes regret you did it?
The main reason why i don't say i'm gay is because i think they'll start acting weird. I mean i do LANs all the time and i usually sleep in a bed with 3-4 guys after we're finished. If they knew i was gay, maybe they wouldn't let me sleep in the bed (which would be stupid because i have really no interest at all in them). Or maybe they wouldn't speak that much about women when i'm around, or asking me if i had a date during the summer or ... You know, changing how they act just because they know i'm no longer interested in women. (speaking about friends, don't care about the family)

are you telling me you wouldn't want an entire bed to yourself? that's a good strategy i didn't think about that

Haha, i remember going to New York for a summer camp and they made us sleep in an hostel (two per chambers, one bed). I felt really weird, i couldn't sleep with him on the same bed so i slept on the ground for one week..
Back in my younger years (around 6-10) I hung out with a really close group of guys. We were like packmates. We did pretty much everything together. Eat, sleep, shower, sports, games, etc. We were so close that even for our ages we had a way of communicating our emotions with each other that I seldom see now as an adult.
Once I moved from them, I was constantly seeking a new pack. Unfortunately, there aren't many guys where I live who wish to be THAT intimiate with another human being, let alone another male. I came out in 9th grade. Now, to my friends down here, it wasn't a big deal but it was something. I'd already gotten used to avoiding physical contact with guys anyway. Junior year was when I decided to stop being disconnected from people so I went back to my roots. I paid close attention to which friends responded well from physical affection and went from there. I've got a lot of friends, and some of their parents, who will hug me, pet me, nuzzle me, or let me sleep on them. And they do the same to me as I've never had a problem with it. In fact, it is becoming the more effective way to communicate feelings and frustrations with each other. The displays of physical affections, or lack thereof, carry a whole lot.
Stay true to yourself, is the overall moral. If you are a physical person, you can still be that. If you are someone who needs a bubble, you can still have it. You'll know the moment to come out and it'll be a tough road but you won't be walking alone.
