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.
For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. |

I have deep respect for you being that honest to post it on a site like Teamliquid - thats about what I wanted to say , even though I find it a bit strange to post it here :-) hopefully you don't take it as an offence.
BTW I don't think someone is gay because he's into fashion. I'm curious, hypothetical situation where a guy hits on you unknowing that you are straight. Are you bothered by this, or is it basically what amounts to sexual harassment that bothers you? I ask because alot of people I know give a similar response to you, and sounds slightly like "I don't mind gays, as long as they aren't in public.
If he hits on me and I sense / know that and I tell him to stop / quit it and he continues it bothers me. I really don't mind hanging around with a guy thats bi or gay as long as he respects me and my sexuality.
I also don't mind behaving like I would with a hetero person in like - having a small fight for fun like men have from time to time. I just don't like being hit on.. in a sexual way :-) because I'm not into men.
"unknowing that I'm straight" I will tell him as soon as I figure he hits on me. Is that a satisfying answer, because I'm not sure where you are getting ^^!

I was just interested, and depending on what answer you gave, so that I could silently judge you or not.

I just read that entire pee thread and it was the funniest thing i have read in a long time (I got a warning about bumping it if i didnt have a good reason so i didnt). I didn't perceive any of the comments to be meant in a serious way.

I've always wonder how gays find other gay people to date, and when you do actually find another gay person do you automatically like them a little bit because their gay and give them a chance because of the small selection?
Compared to men trying to date women, some guys have problems as it is. It seems like when gay people meet other gays they don't judge nearly as much when guys and women meet up looking for someone to date.
Also how can you tell if someone else is gay when you are looking for a relationship? Do you just ask them, do you look for signs or tells then ask? Just a few things I was wondering.

Even now, I'm still afraid to come out. I've moved far away from my family for college, into a generally much more accepting area, but my experience makes me scared to come out. When ever I think about saying it, I feel vulnerable and decide against it. It doesn't help that I'm playing hockey, and it could very well make the locker room incredibly uncomfortable for my teammates. If any of the members here have some suggestions on how I can, whether or not I should, I'd love them, but this thread makes me feel good already.
Oh man, I'm sorry. :/
My experience has been sort of weird, because I was closeted in HS but "unattractive nerd" trumped "queer" anyway. I came out in college and no one cared. Then I graduated from college and enlisted in the army, so went back in the closet. I ended up getting kicked out under DADT, but in the best way possible, I had a really cool commander + first sergeant. As things were sort of unraveling and I felt like maybe I'd get investigated or something, what I did was pick the one guy in the company I was friends with and was pretty sure he wouldn't care and was like "so I'm gay and I might be getting investigated, can I hide some porn and shit in your room?" And he was like "oh sure".
So I dunno if this is applicable to you at all - but if you're good friends with anyone on the team and you know he's not a bigot, come out to that one guy and ask him what he thinks. Because I don't know your team, but your friend might.
It's an idea, anyway. Just don't come out to the guy with a lifted pickup that's got confederate flag stickers on it.

Enh, like anyone else. I've dated guys I've met online (okcupid), I've had mutual friends set me up with guys, and most towns have at least one gay bar. There's also stuff like when my BF and I are out shopping, we like spotting pairs of dykes out getting their groceries or whatever. Or like a pair of little old men getting into the same car with an HRC sticker on it will make us go aww, stuff like that.
It seems like when gay people meet other gays they don't judge nearly as much when guys and women meet up looking for someone to date.
There are plenty of catty bitches in the gay world. More broadly: we're just people. Sometimes you get shot down, sometimes you don't, etc.
Also how can you tell if someone else is gay when you are looking for a relationship? Do you just ask them, do you look for signs or tells then ask?
I once asked out a really butch dyke. Oh man. That was so fucking awkward. She made a really cute guy though! And she always asked smart questions in the philosophy lecture we were in.
Hot butch lesbians: confusing for everybody.

Hehe yea. Mature language filter, anyone? Does "gay" get censored in the sc2 chat (english version)?
I know alot of games where this is the case. And to be honest - I dont know if thats a good thing or not. YES: "gay" may not be a swearword, but is usually used as such...and therefore should get censored. NO: how is stuff supposed to change as long as even the mature language filter recognizes it as a swearword.....

Hey bumping this thread because I think it deserves to stay alive. I got into SC2 about a year ago and I'm pretty much gay (occasionally I get turned on by girls I guess and experimented with them). I feel like being a gay starcraft player is so unusual, haven't met another in real before.
I also think HuK is really hot <3

how you can stick your penis in another mans anus and enjoy it is beyond me, but gg to you for tryinig. but really who gives a fuck about the gay sc2 thread there is no straight sc2 thread so why bother..

According to my opponents, I'm a faggot who should play a real race.
I'm curious to see how gay TLer's react to typical BM that consists of "gay" and "fag". Do you just shrug it off? Or do you bother to report it?
|
Eh. I'm bisexual, and if someone says "fag", I generally shrug it off. They're complimenting you, at worst!

I consider it the same more or less as any other BM and just ignore it. I mean, there are thousands of possible responses but I as a general rule ignore other BM so I ignore phobic bm too.
More difficult for me is when teammates who I know or sort of know or who know someone i know refer to stuff as "gay" etc. In theory I'd say "Hey, actually you know, that's not cool" or something - but it's hard to say that in chat esp if you don't really know the person, without potentially causing all sorts of problems. What do people generally do in such situations?

Is it normal for somelike me who happily has a long term relationship with a pretty lady also have massive man crushes on certain musicians and SC pros? Sometimes when SlayersBoxer looks at me through the camera while watching GSL I get the warm and fuzzies :D
|
Yes. Sexuality is a spectrum. And who are we kidding, SlayerSBoxer is just straightup oarsome.

Hi Mora,
You are pretty fucking amazing person add me on sc2 mang.
bye
|
EDIT: looong story about an... encounter i had, I'm moving it to blogs.
|
So I wish at a Gay Pride parade someone would hold up a sign that said My parents don't agree with my lifestyle and there is nothing wrong about that. Much Respect to a tolerant homosexual like that.
