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. | ||

You could be gay and not need to act any differently because of it if society didn't make you question it by being so prejudiced for no reason other than religion. Firstly, it's somewhat meaningless to say "in a different environment, X would be normal". If technology gets to the point where humans universally wear powered suits controlled directly by the brain, then quadriplegia would be normal, but for a quadriplegic to bank on that today is just denial. The fact is that the environment isn't ideal and isn't going to change in the short term. Secondly, gay couples can't reproduce biologically, so it's not just social values that would need to change - you'd need a situation where artificial reproduction is normal. Though I do agree that in Huxley's Brave New World, if we ignore moral values, being gay would be functionally equivalent to being straight.

If so, will a fellow man-loving man give me a few tips on how to properly dress a skinny nerd? no homo. Tbh it's not really true. There are just as many gays who dress awfully as dress well, they're just harder to spot  As for dressing a skinny nerd, being well dressed is as much about being comfortable as being fashionable. It's a confidence thing, y'know In general though, I'd say: dark jeans; decent trainers (Converse); a little hair product; and nice T-shirts. But dress however you like tbh, being nerdy can be adorable ^^ And don't wear cargo pants. What the hell are those things. | ||

I am curious if gay people will find me attractive; to describe myself, 180 cm tall, muscular chest, allmost abs shown, my body has a slight hourglass form from chest to hips, ginger au natural (as in less pale than most, but hella lot freckles in face but not on rest off body), kayak/swimming ish muscles). I think my body language is more feminine than rest ? though I am pretty sure I am straight (though I dont think I would denie myself some eksperimentation) Another since you like body hair, do Ginger (orange au natural) body hair disturb you? I mean, some of my friends told me it was more disgusting than the rest.. maybe thats just cus it's unusual but I shaved down below since then anyways And what about pubic / ass hair, you like that too ? I am curious bro | ||

What agenda? *shows up at your door* "Hi, we're with The Gays, (tm), and we're here to recruit you!" Basically the "agenda" of any group just applies to legislation they want passed. In this particular case, it's marriage rights, adoption right, and so on. But you'll hear similar phrasing everywhere, "liberal agenda" "conservative agenda", etc etc. As for normality, why is it desirable at all? Who cares? Exactly. Vanilla is boring. | ||

So, as I understand it (tell me if I got it wrong), in English-speaking/Western/? countries there is a stereotype that women who play sports traditionally seen as mens sports, are lesbians. Eg. women's baseball teams, basketball teams, all lesbians. On the other hand there isn't this stereotype with sports which are seen as normal for girls eg. people don't say "Ah gymnasts, they are all dykes", or "Get those lesbian ice-skaters" or whatever. Presuming that's true, what is the situation with e-sports in your countries? Are there stereotypes about women gamers? In particular, are they labelled as lesbians, or too masculine or anything of that sort? (In Japan of course there is a very rigid gender divide, compared to say the US; but there isn't a particular culture of tech or gaming being for boys only.) | ||

Ultimately, if you're a guy and you're not disgusted by pussy, you're straight. Bisexual men are a little different. I've met ones who are bothered by their attraction to men for a lot longer than gay guys are. Gays are forced to deal with it one way or another. Bisexual men can often have 'normal lives', getting married, having children, etc, without ever understanding or coming to terms with their bisexuality. Though that is less and less the case these days. The older i get, the less disgusted i am by women. In fact, i watch straight porn about 80% of the time. I dunno, there's nothing quite so masculine as a man fucking nailing some chick. I like the triple pen kind of stuff. lol QFT! | ||

Hmmm, where i am from, pretty much all sports are played by women, and they're not considered lesbian for doing so. The exception might be hockey? Woman's soccer, baseball/softball, basketball, curling (lol), martial arts, are all predominantly heterosexual. I have a few sporty lesbian friends, and i think the highest homosexual ratio is in soccer? With 4 of 20 players being homosexual. There aren't enough lesbians playing sports to really be all that represented. I think the only sport that has a lesbian league in Vancouver is Softball. (don't quote me on it) | ||

I have a gay friend who says that being "gay" isn't just about liking guys, it's about sharing a whole type of knowledge of certain people or things, so much so that he jokingly said he doesn't really feel completely gay because he hasn't ever been beaten up or abused because of his sexual preference. What exactly does he mean? What things help to generally set apart the gay community aside from just sexual preference? (An interesting side note: in highschool, around a week after he said that he regretted not being beaten up, a group of friends and I brought foam swords to school and, after giving him warning a couple days in advance, pretended to attack him in between classes. This probably sounds a lot worse than it was--we were all pretty good friends, and after thinking about it a lot I don't think he found it at all offensive or hurtful. Ofc., we didn't actually physically harm him. I'm sure there are gay people who, even if people jokingly did this to them, would still feel very bad and embarrassed about it. But I think in this case, while it isn't the type of thing I would do again, I don't feel that guilty) Another thing: how do you see the relationship between gays and suicide? I remember during pride week a couple months ago seeing a Facebook group titled: "In memory of all the gays who committed suicide"...and it kind of irritated me. I don't think people commit suicide because they are gay, or even that being gay has anything to do with the choice to take your own life. I do realize, however, that being gay can make life extremely difficult and cause a huge amount of internal trauma (as already discussed in this thread). Is being gay really a determining factor in why gay people commit suicide? Or is it generally something else? Just interested in your thoughts Matt | ||

I asked because it [presumptuously] says a lot about your perspective. If you were bisexual it means that you've given serious consideration to what gender you are, why you're defined that why, how other genders are determined, and what about them you find attractive or unattractive. Being that you're heterosexual, I would be inclined to believe that you've not really given the matter much thought, other than seeing the occasional butch female playing sports you think she shouldn't, or getting a sour taste in your mouth if you see a man walking into a tanning boutique. Well I never experienced the slightest hint of homosexual curiosity even in high school when it was the indie thing to do or whatever. Maybe that's part of seeing things in black and white. What I do is look up to manly guys like Gregory Peck or Shogun the MMA fighter or my grandad who was a beefed up farmer, and I really wish more men were like that nowadays, just old school strong gentlemanly blokes. With all the gender confusion and metrosexualism and cosmetic companies convincing us that "we're worth it, too" and Biebers running loose, and then on the other hand women not shaving and trying to be loud and obnoxious and play rugby or whatnot, I feel this is something we should consider relevant, too. Unfortunately my assumptions were not far from the mark. I was hoping you had something demonstrable to share with me (and tl.net), found from insight borne from study or serious experience. Humour me -- Define what a 'man' is. edit - i'm looking for a list of 10-20 definable traits. throw some behaviours in there. | ||
