The only response to this argument is the very simple, "Every day is straight day. Every day is white day." although I do appreciate your extra effort ;D .

Imagine if the only place you could meet girls was an internet forum called "Heterosexuality". You've never seen them in class. You've not seen them on the street. You've never had a conversation with one, you've never even made contact. Man, that would suck.

I don't want to get into details on opinions or anything, but OP, this really doesn't make sense. You DO see other men on the street and you DO see them in class (gay or not), so I don't quite understand what you're getting at here, maybe I'm missing something? Someone help me out?

When you're straight, society is constructed around your endeavors to find someone of the opposite sex to hook up with or get into a relationship with, from high school to adulthood. You can reliably pursue any woman in your life and assume that she is straight.

Gay guys have no such luck. 97% chance is that any guy we meet will be completely off-limits. Depending on the culture you grew up in, it's quite likely that a young gay guy could have never even met or been friends with another gay guy. I know that was the case with me before college.

If you want to meet another guy for a relationship, you pretty much have to get lucky and meet a gay guy by chance who you are attracted to (and is attracted to you), or you have to take special efforts to meet other gay guys at specially designated gay bars or gay clubs or gay websites.

My friend just sent me this thread, haven't had time to go through all of it but I am a StarCraft 2 player (I've played SC since it first came out in 1998), who just happens to be gay.

I never struggled with the nerd part of me, I was a gamer from a young age, had a lot of gamer friends. Went to anime conventions when I was younger, lan parties, MMOs, the whole enchilada. Coming out though was an interesting process since none of my friends were gay. It was definitely a rite of passage. I think especially when you're younger, you always are trying to find a place to fit in. So I was wondering if I would fit in with this or that group of gay people. I think a lot of people have this conception that if you look the same or like the same things, you're automatically friends. But I never really joined many Asian groups on campus. I went to some meetings or events for various gay groups but they were pretty exclusionary, which put me off when I was already wary. It took me a while to learn that I don't fit in just one group and that I needed to just be myself instead of what people thought I should be or act like. I think that this idea is probably where you can see some animated personalities from gay people. I don't care if a guy is feminine if it's genuine (not my type for dating but as a friend, that shouldn't matter) but I know a lot just play this sort of act, maybe because it's what they've seen or because they get more attention that way.

In regards to dating, it is difficult unless you're in a big city where it's just part of the demographic. I'm from SF area and I live in NYC now so there's just more gay people and gay-friendly people. Usually people are more forthcoming when they've accepted being gay, they'll make a comment about an ex-boyfriend or thinking James Franco is hot etc. You can ask in these situations, but I usually just bring up something like Lady Gaga or Real Housewives or any Bravo show to see how he reacts lol. But that's probably why online dating is easier these days, you can search guys who like guys, and it'd be hard to meet people otherwise since a bar isn't always the best place to find someone looking for a relationship.

I actually write a dating column called "The Dating Game" about how gaming plays in our dating lives (I try to keep it general and relatable but obviously my personal experiences are guy-guy). I've written quite a few that have involved StarCraft and I definitely tell my friends that I need to find a guy who can handle that I like to binge once in a while on SC2 until the sun comes up. Here's a choice line I'm quite proud of:

"My friend...used StarCraft commentary terms to relate to my love life describing a pivotal revelation as having been done at the perfect "timing push." I gave her a high five and was just happy she didn't choose to describe my love life as having taken "terrible terrible damage.""

I agree whole heartedly, for far, far too long, white heterosexuals have faced resitance, discrimination and oppression throughought the course of human history, and its time for us to come together as one and proclaim, No Longer!

Question for the gay guys in this thread; Just out of curiosity, imagine there was a pill that would turn you hetrosexual - would you take it?

Alright this is probably the most relevant thread for these burning questions from a straight male:

1) Who is the sexiest foreigner SC2 player?

2) Who is the sexiest Korean SC2 player?

3) Which SC2 players/pros are probably gay (approximated via gaydar of course)?

Thanks in advance

hahahah my first thought too!


I find it sad that gay people have to think like this, i would hope society would be more accepting now days, i for one have no problems with gay people and think its disgusting that other people do

What a silly post. You can't just derive whether someone is a closeted homosexual from a short text description... human behavior and sexuality are way too complicated to ever get a 100% read on someone. It's really quite pointless to try and figure a friend's sexual preference out beyond what identity they have chosen for themselves at the moment.
