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. |

Can gay people tell if other people are gay with a reasonable success rate?
Like guy said above, you assume the person is gay due to their effeminacy and support for gay marriage and then they date a girl and then they are gay the next year. I was like that too...
And speaking of gay guys and girls, when you first came out of the closet, was one of the first things the person asked you was "What about this girl?"

I am gay and I play Protoss, I like to think of DTs as my invisible bum bashers.*

I'd say that there are stereotypes for a reason but there are always exceptions. I watch baseball and hockey, play StarCraft, which these things can be shunned by gays who are more into the scene and clubs and pop stars. But I mean, I love Britney and Gaga as well but I don't see why you can't like everything.
You can never know for sure unless they say it or have accepted it but it might be less surprising to you if they fall into those stereotypes (overly waxed eyebrows, certain fashion trends, mannerisms etc.). I don't think it's ever good form to ask someone if he/she is gay or assume but you can steer a conversation to divulge that information possibly by seeing how they respond in certain areas.

Only against straight people.

I'm a gay gamer. I'm not straight-acting because I don't try to act like I'm straight. I'm not flamboyant because I recognized a lot of "gay qualities" in myself in High School when other students would call me out on them. I don't have sex with any other gay guy just because they're a gay guy. I've only had sex with 4 people, despite having a lot of offers and opportunities, and two of them were very serious boyfriends. I have very traditional relationships. I love to date, be romantic, and I am very selective. Being a gay guy is no different from being a straight guy besides who you wind up with in bed at night. A person's personality is not rooted in whether or not that person is gay or straight. Personalities transcend sexualities. Beyond this, personalities transcend stereotypes. Personalities... identities... these are all on a case by case basis. Generalizations are often false... and well, generalizations.

Are you implying that gay people cannot tell who is gay with any better precision than a straight guy? I would assume that, since gay guys are often trying to improve that skill would end up being better at it than straight guys who are not trying to improve that skill. Am I wrong?
My gf's best friend is gay and he's always pointing out people who he is sure is gay when we hang out. But I'm never sure if he's actually right or if he's just full of it.

Don't you just hate going in the same uni class as a guy who's just "exactly your type of guy" and is also straight? Fuck my life.

Last year i've seen such a guy almost every day. It was so hard to get realized that he is straight.
And *phew* my first post on this thread. It feels a little bit weird, because i always thinking about that i could meet people, where it would be better to "hide myself". Okay, i'm almost outed but, there is always a voice who tells me: "that's not good, it could be dangerous to show it to the world". Do you know any tipps to become more self-confident in the gay-related meaning?
And sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i meant.

It's so difficult to start somewhere in this explanation. blarhg

I'm sorry to butt in like this, but I just now read this thread and noticed for the first time that it is, in fact, possible to have stereotypically gay mannerisms while writing on the internet as well as while speaking in the real world. I would not have thought it feasible to convey so much about yourself with a one-word addendum to a sentence, but you have shown me the light, OP. I am inspired to choose my words far more carefully in the future so as to more clearly define my personality through my writing.

Your English is fine <3
and I understand, you'll feel a lot better if you tell your friends but I know how it feels to worry constantly etc. Don't really have any tips, it took me quite a long time to accept who I was and when I did I didn't really care about the opinion of anyone else on the matter anymore
If they don't accept you they're not your friends so and judging by this thread it seems like most people from European countries don't really have a problem considering people are very open(I know they are in England and Holland at least)
Just don't force yourself and take the time, once you're more comfortable with yourself and your sexuality I'm sure you'll feel like it's the rest time to tell people

How do you guys feel about these schools? They seem pretty awful and I'm looking for some insight from you guys out of... I don't know. I just want to know because it seem's pretty horrible.

Yeah. Seriously, it must be so nice when 97% of the people you encounter in life are not completely off-limits by default.

I mean, what would you expect me to say? Of course it's terrible. I can't believe that it's not legally considered child abuse. Parents who love their children should want their kids to be happy, not to fit into the cookie cutter idea they had for their child. It disgusts me.
I can't imagine coming out to my parents that young, though. I'm 19 and I still haven't told my parents, and I don't have any plans to anytime soon. My mom will probably be whatever about it, but my dad is a total right wingnut, and I'm quite curious as to how he'll react. It sounds terrible that my principle emotion is curiosity, but along with accepting my sexuality, I spent time accepting the fact that this would probably destroy my relationship with my father at one point or another.
So, yeah... intolerant parents really kind of strike home for me. To treat your child like a piece of property like that... ugh. I really hope that that story was at least somewhat sensationalized. I don't have that much of a problem with these ex-gay programs for adults if they choose to participate in them - I don't think it will work, but people can do what they want - but when you force your child to do this shit, it is appalling.

Ok that was on purpose. For shame!

Hey, guys, I had a question, and I'm not really involved in any other communities other than this one, so I really don't know where else to go.
I have a gay friend, who has super-ultra-mega conservative parents. He is going through a lot; he didn't get into his college of choice, which he had all his hopes on, and lately, he's been saying that he's extremely ashamed of himself and is struggling to be happy.
I'm really worried about him, he's one of the smartest people I know, and it sucks to see him messed up like this.
How can I help him?
edit: Sorry to bring the mood down, but I really want to help him. =/

maybe finding him new objectives, only a few people never fail in their career/study project, beside the one who never been ambicious, that's not a so big drama, you need to find a new project, to feel good at something or you will keep cogitate, over and over, about this failure
hope it will not sound too simpleton
