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.

So yeah, start with that please. And I'm more interested in how the process of "dating" goes, rather than who gets to be on top first.

Incontrol is gay? I thought he had a girlfriend?

that was a really cute film... so wanted that almost sex scene to be a little further

Have you guys seen Shelter? fantastic movie that everyone needs to see.


That's one of around 4 (around there) gay-themed movies I've seen. It was pretty good.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

Mora your sleeping with people habits are disgusting and sounds like a great way to get an STD. I wouldn't say anything about it if you didn't post it on the internet. You should be more careful and not sleep with every dude that ready to give it to you.

Hey All,

First of all, before i start i would like to apologize for my bad written english skills I am a french Canadian and my english is kinda bad ;\ But hey, i'll try !

Some of you might know me Under Teacher name (Teacher[Light], Get.Teacher, gitm.teacher, smi.teacherlife, ig.teacher) or some others on some of my other name (vtv.marine, jst-gaypride (duh! lolol), etc..)

I've been openly gay for about 6 years now (Was 16, now 23) and one of my friend told me about this thread and it catched my attention so i came to read it. Sadly, it's hard for me to read 93 pages of comments but i tried to read alot and i found it really really interesting. Some of you had really good questions and, i wrote some downs and i'll try to answer and share with you all my experience too so maybe i can help you guys answering your interogations :D

But before i start answering questions, i would like to introduce myself a little bit (Who knows, maybe some of you gonna recognize theirselves in my story!)

Ever since i was a kid (Around 7-8yrs) I've always been looking at boys. I used to date with girls and i had some girlfriends, but even when i was in a relationship (Well, "Relationship" is kinda a big word when u're 7-8-9-10 yrs old but w/e) i kept on looking at guys. I remember, in nearly every birthdays anniversary that i had, i had to kiss some of my friends.

So basically, during the Primary School, i was interested in girls, but i was pretty curious about boys (Kept on telling myself how it would be to have sex with a guy, to live in a long term relation with a guy, etc)

Then came the High School. The place where i was pretending to be someone that i was just not. I was probably one of the most "famous" guy at my school (Never really knew why but w/e) so nearly everyone at my school knew who i was and i was chilling back then with some weed smokers and i was pretty much trying to be someone that i wasnt (I was smoking mad weed back then, drinking alchool, try to get girls with who i wasnt even interesting to have smthing with, just did it so i can get some respect from my "friends") I was acting like that from my Secondary 1 to my Secondary 3 (Which is Grade 7 to Grade 9 for you american friends.) And then one night, i just had enough. Like really enough, i asked myself if i really wanted to live my life in the shadow of who i really was or if i wanted to live happy and accept myself how i was. So one day, while i was drunk on a week end, me and my friend did sexual things together and i actually..... really liked it. So i became more and more interested in boys and one day, i just decided to make my coming out (It was really funny because, i'll try to find you guys a pic on how i was looking back then) nobody was believing me. It was really hard for me to make my coming out but i did it simply because it was really too tough to keep it inside and i told myself that i would rather loose my so called "friends" and live a happy life rather than just try to be somebody i wasnt and be sad at night.

Ever since, i am overall happy in life (I sadly have some others issues that we all have to deal with, but regardeless my homosexuality, everything is fine.) And out of all my friends, i lost like 2 who stopped talking to me because of that (So i guess they just wasnt my friends at the end...) the support that i received from my friends was great and i really appreciated it.

But i have to be honest, as a gay person i have a big problem;

I have hard times showing gay people my interest in them (Or even straight people (Interest to become friend with them, nothing sexual)) Because i keep on telling myself that, them knowing that i'm gay, they will probably think i'm flirting them and it will put them in a uncomfortable situation which i wouldnt want to do to someone. So i usually just doesnt talk much to people, and i stay in my corner. I would like if someone (straight if possible) can tell me how do they feel when a gay guy talk with them and look them in their eyes (nothing sexual) how do they feel? Do you feel like you're getting flirted or?

Sometimes i guess i just paranoid but oh well.... I'm kinda insecure about that, but beside that i'm pretty happy overall!

What stranges about me is that i'm a 95% rap/hip-hop supporter (YES I HAVE MY GAY SIDE, <3 LADY GAGA & Nickel Back), and IRL i REALLY doesnt look gay (Which i guess doesnt help me when i try to find a date :S) If anyone can recommend me a tip with that too, it would be awesome!

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask! I'll try to answer anyone

But as for Mora, i saw some PRETTY good questions that u guys asked him and i thought it would be interesting to answer it too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ironchef : Is that common for gays to be turned off by hetero porn?

- To be honest with you, i can get an erection watching straight porn but, when i go out in clubs, i never look at girls, only boys. But i am definitly not disgusted or "turned off" when i watch hetero porn. I guess it just doesnt bother me.

Shiragaku : What is your opinion on the really flamboyant gays? Do you and many other gays find that attractive or annoying?

- I know my answer gonna look strange, but keep in mind that it's only my personnal opinion but as for me, i generally doesnt like flamboyant gays beside if it's an asian guy (I LOVEEE ASIAN). I feel like asian people in general, show their emotions really well (Been living in Thailand and Laos for the last year before i came back in Canada) and i was really impressed on how they can show their emotions without being concerned of what people think when here in America, we are afraid to show our emotions because we are always afraid of what the person at our left is gonna think of us.
But if by Flamboyant u meant someone who is not scare to show his emotion, who can cry, or be sensible, i definitly admire and like that. If u talk about a guy looking like a girl and try to be a girl, definitly no.

Crimson : How do you know? What was the defining moment that made you realize you were gay?

- The defining moment was definitly me having sex with an other guy. That kinda like confirmed all my questions i had. I think it's just natural for EVERYBODY to ask theirselves once in their life about their sexuality, but some people doesnt experiment it for some reasons (Some are 100% sure of their sexuality and some arent but dont want to try these things because they are afraid of "X" thing.) But i knew it because ever since i was young, i kept on looking at boys.

Kennigit : Why do some gay guys talk with a lisp and have feminine mannerisms? Is this put on or natural?

- Because that's who they really are.

Badjas : Does it irk you when the word 'gay' is used as an insult?

- Hell no!!! I found it really funny actually and i have alot of friends with my straight friends with that. Sometimes i call them stupid faggots and they are like "wtf you are the faggot" and i am like "go suck a dick" and we just laugh about it. I know people who say these words arent serious so it's cool I never had a problem with that.

Ondik : do you prefer to be called "gay" or "homosexual"?

- Gay

: there are men who you can tell at first sight (body language, etc.) are gays, but there are also men who you'd never guess that. According to your post I guess you're the latter - I'm sure you've found yourself in position where a girl was hitting on you. How do you usually react to this? And how do girls react when they find out? Any funny story?

- The most important thing is to be humble and honest. Sure there's alot of girls that come approach me (Even in gay clubs!!!) and i always say the same thing (Well, if i'm interested in getting to know the person) "Sorry i am gay but sure i would like to know you if u want and maybe we can be friend". Being honest is the best thing to do imo. (Sadly i dont have any funny story )

Roe : Do you think sexuality can have a huge impact on your personal interests such as changing them because of the way you see your sexuality, or would those interests be in a category of unchangeable, and merely bend to how you see yourself?

- My favorite question !

I really think that yes, sexuality can have an impact on personnal interest. I've been doing boxing since i am 17 and i started MMA some months ago, and i've always been a huge fans of "mans" sports (Hockey, football, etc) and always been a huge fan of rap music (homophobia culture) and at the end of the day, sometimes i am asking myself if i have a chance to become a successfull boxer or rap artist or if i should just let it go because i'm gay (I ask myself this question often) but i think it's just about being yourself. If you are yourseld and you do the best for you and the people that surround you, good things will happen.

" I've been thinking that I might've used video games as an escape from some unconscious, suppressed personality. The WoW thing came on during high school, which is when I felt most...segregated and unlike everyone else."

- I did exactly the same thing with Starcraft and Counter-Strike! I felt rejected by the society, by my parents, and i wanted, at some point, to kill myself. And to be honest, i dont want to generalize but i think every gamers (That play alot of video games) hide some things inside of them, i really feel like we play so much sometimes to try to escape some things that happened in our lifes. But hey, keep your head up!

Tomatriedes : Who do you think is the best looking Korean progamer?

- Unlike Mora, I doesnt like hairy guys that much (Well not at all actually) and i like smaller guys than me (i am 5'10). I'm a huge asian fan (Thx for my trip there <3) So i have a huge list of korean progamer that i really like But my top 3 would be

- Backho
- Lomo
- By.Sun

But i like bunch of others too :

Suny[fOu], hyvaa ( so cute :D ), Bisu, etc etc etc

There's too many to name it tbh !

So well yes, it was that! Thanks all for reading if u went here and for those interested in getting to know me, i am open to everyone !!!!

One only needs simple logic to know that homosexuality is not a choice. It doesn't even matter to me whether the reasons of this lies in physical or psychological factors - or something in between. Why do you ask? Because nobody has chosen to be the person they are today. We simple are what life makes us, and we go from there. But we have a totally free will, you say. As an illusion, sure, and that's normally just fine as we need it to function. But every thought that has ever based through your mind has a root in the premade you. It's all just waves affecting other waves. Or just random chaos. At least this seems to make sense to me.

Also, as a relationship between two gay people are mutual, I cannot see anything wrong with it, at all. In fact, I think this kind of diversity only makes the world a better place. I'm actually a bit jally of bisexsuals as they get to experience the other side of the coin. Sadly, even though I'm open to this thought, intellectually, I can't control my emotional respondses to the actual thing. But my intellectual side of the matter has made me very comfortable with homosexuality, closer to it. But I simply don't have the key to this last locked door. Imagine if we could control our emotions, not just manipulate them. I think that would be the biggest step in human evolution, ever.

Very interesting thread, btw.

I'd probably be flattered if it was with interest on your side. Why should I not be? If you on the other side knew that I wasn't interested in you in that way then I'd just threat you as you normally threats a newly met person. Also, I might not even to able to see that you were gay, although knowing it. Also, if you tried to start something anyways, because of a misunderstanding, or the like, then I could always just take it from there and say ''no thanks'' in a kind way. But I like to think that I'm a very open person. I don't know about other blocks, in general.

Cheers

I know what you mean. I have always been a very private and mostly solitary person, except for whatever close friends I have at the time (usually 1 or 2 people). If I was straight, I believe I would have the same problem, but it's even more pronounced because I'm gay. I'd rather get to know someone that I'm interested in first, rather than having to announce my sexuality to someone who I just consider an acquaintance, because then I feel it would be very awkward (at a gay club/bar, I would not have to do this of course, but I doubt I will be going to very many of those, if at all). However this is all just speculation, as I just turned 18 this summer and am heading off to college in less than a month... I could be completely wrong, but knowing my personality I think it will be somewhat accurate.

Yes, I've heard a lot of people online say about that. But I still feel hesitant about initiating a friendship with any guy (gay or straight, but for this example straight) because I feel that he will judge me and possibly think I like him if he knows I'm gay and I give any hint whatsoever (even if it's an unintentional miscommunication) that I would like to pursue a friendship. I know this is untrue a good majority of the time (hopefully) but ever since I've came out to my close friends, I've only been good friends with one guy, who thankfully was fine with me and we have become great friends for a year and a half (been having a few bumps but we haven't been able to see each other lately and are attending different colleges). This is probably also due to the fact that the first guy I ever told (he was my best friend at the time) told me I was ****'ed up and hasn't said a word to me since that day, also a year and a half ago.

When typing things up about this kind of stuff online, I tend to ramble and not make too much sense, so I apologize for any confusion.

I can understand how that can be problematic initially and through out the initial acquaintance periode until you get accustomed to each others. This is most definitely a very fragile and uncertain phase that can be very fighting and socially exhausting. I'm not sure on the best way to go about it, but I do think that you should try and just jumb into it and then take it from there. I don't think there's a easy way, anyhow. But it does of course also depend a lot on in which settings you meet the guy. What about some kind of social get-together-site? That way you can lay your cards on the table before a meeting without it being awkward at all, and besides you seem chatty(on the net, anyways). Also, I thought you might be able to use another straight guy that you already know to sorta smooth the initial meeting. I guess you could also just be frank about what you want, though, it might seem very much to the point so maybe you could wrap a joke around it - or somehting like that.

Anyhow, I think it's better to fail at trying than not daring at all, if possible.

Sorry, I'm probably not a lot of help to you, lol. Just spilling out the obvious, I guess. <3

Cheers

Edit: Girls are probably a good source of inspiration for this kind of problem, I'm thinking. They have to deal with guys in this way all the time. Hehe.

This post is pretty awesome. I was skeptical at first, but then I got to this sentence "It's cool to be cool with people who are gay, but it's disgusting to want to have a dick in your mouth." And I've now decided that you are most likely a legit person, and it seems there are quite a few people who agree with that sentiment. And since you are, I will ask you my question: do you think Tasteless is attractive?
Do, or do not. There is no try.

I feel that a big problem in the "homosexual society" is that for the most part, you are expected to be thin, good looking, well dressed and with good hair, none of which apply to me. (I have a similar build to day9 but not nearly as tall or handsome in the face ). This may be partly because I have no self confidence or esteem when it comes to real life, but it makes me feel that there aren't any guys out there that would even kind of be interested in me. It also doesn't help that I think androgyny is kinda hot >.>

I figure I might hop on the question train and just blatantly steal from Marine here

ironchef : Is that common for gays to be turned off by hetero porn?

- I am, but I have heard that if it isnt lesbian in nature, some gay guys can get turned on by it.

Shiragaku : What is your opinion on the really flamboyant gays? Do you and many other gays find that attractive or annoying?

- Super catty trying to be "scene" or "emo" or all fake or w/e is just stupid. I prefer guys that are just being who they are. That being said, if you find androgyny to be "flamboyant" that I am really into that. Some guys take it to heights that are clearly just to get attention and be noticed and to me, that is really, really annoying.

Crimson : How do you know? What was the defining moment that made you realize you were gay?

- I was at a boarding school when I came out and about three days after I made it public (to great acceptance I might add) a gay guy came up to my room and kissed me, apparently to "let me know if I was actually gay". Felt fantastic and from that moment on, I really knew 100%.

Kennigit : Why do some gay guys talk with a lisp and have feminine mannerisms? Is this put on or natural?

- Some are doing it because that is who they are, some are faking it, but I know that when I am out with gay friends or something, I catch myself falling into a slight lisp and effeminate mannerisms without intentionally doing it.

Badjas : Does it irk you when the word 'gay' is used as an insult?

- As an insult, yes, but it irks me when anyone uses any word to intentionally debase and deride anyone else. It shows how depraved a society we are if we think we need to constantly harass and insult people based on things they can't control. There are too many legitimate reasons to hate people to use something innate like sexuality, gender etc.

Ondik : do you prefer to be called "gay" or "homosexual"?

- I prefer the usage of "gay" so long as it isn't being used to put me down.


Roe : Do you think sexuality can have a huge impact on your personal interests such as changing them because of the way you see your sexuality, or would those interests be in a category of unchangeable, and merely bend to how you see yourself?

- Absolutely. Though I have been competitively gaming since waay before I even realized I might be gay, after I came out, slowly I started being more comfortable mixing the masculine and feminine. I like to go shopping and hang out with my female friends at malls and such, but I also like playing football and videogames etc. I think it is a less "whelp, I became gay, time for new interests" and more a feeling that since I am now out and free with it, it gives me the freedom to just be who I am and do what I want to do.

" I've been thinking that I might've used video games as an escape from some unconscious, suppressed personality. The WoW thing came on during high school, which is when I felt most...segregated and unlike everyone else."

- I definitely do this. Competitive Cod4 probably saved my life, but at any rate, it let me escape from the living hell my life had been around that time (teen angst ftw). Competitive video gaming has always been that one thing in my life where I am the only contributing factor to my own success or failure, it gives me a sense of power and accomplishment when I get onto a great team (I play TF2 now), play particularly well etc. I am escaping from a world that hasn't always been kind and that I have little control over.

What stranges about me is that i'm a 95% rap/hip-hop supporter (YES I HAVE MY GAY SIDE, <3 LADY GAGA & Nickel Back), and IRL i REALLY doesnt look gay (Which i guess doesnt help me when i try to find a date :S) If anyone can recommend me a tip with that too, it would be awesome!


There are plenty of people out there who are gay and similarly not interested in queens/fashion/etc. There's a difference between not looking or acting stereotypically gay and not showing any affection for people, though. Being into sports and video games has never stopped me from getting dates, and so long as you're somewhat open about what you like and so on can attract guys who would share your interests. Just put yourself in settings with like-minded people when they're available.

For what it's worth, I play SC2 and LoL, mountain bike, drink like a fish, keep my hair buzzed, I listen to much more rock than pop, my shorts come down to my knees, and I've been in a relationship for about 3 1/2 years. It's definitely not impossible to find people who are into the same things as you, but it might be a bit harder depending on where you live.

Yes, I've heard a lot of people online say about that. But I still feel hesitant about initiating a friendship with any guy (gay or straight, but for this example straight) because I feel that he will judge me and possibly think I like him if he knows I'm gay and I give any hint whatsoever (even if it's an unintentional miscommunication) that I would like to pursue a friendship. I know this is untrue a good majority of the time (hopefully) but ever since I've came out to my close friends, I've only been good friends with one guy, who thankfully was fine with me and we have become great friends for a year and a half (been having a few bumps but we haven't been able to see each other lately and are attending different colleges). This is probably also due to the fact that the first guy I ever told (he was my best friend at the time) told me I was ****'ed up and hasn't said a word to me since that day, also a year and a half ago.


In my experience, people who are hesitant about friendships with straight guys tend to have some level of self esteem problems. If you act stereotypically gay and your would-be friend is still talking to you, it clearly doesn't bother them and you don't really need to bring it up. If you tend to be more "straight-acting," you don't need to come out of the closet in the first five minutes - give yourself some time to test the waters. Be yourself of course, but if you're openly gay then it's not something you're really going to have to fret about - odds are one of your other friends will let them know somehow, or it'll come up in an organic way when hanging out as a group, or whatever. It may be just me, but bringing people aside and saying things like, "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm gay," is a really weird conversation starter and works ok with your close friends when you first come out, but afterwards isn't really necessary. The older you get, the less of a big deal it is.

Hm, I guess I didn't mean exactly that I am hesitant about becoming friends, but I might be a bit hesitant becoming better friends, more so than other people (but now that I think about it, I'm hesitant about becoming good friends with pretty much everyone. >.< I'd much rather have one or two very good friends than a vast amount of ordinary friends). And I don't think you'd be able to tell I'm gay (I did have one person ask if I was but that seemed to have been an anomaly), and I definitely wouldn't tell a person I'm gay after just meeting them, I have trouble even making conversation with someone I just met. Not because I'm shy, but because I'm so used talking to the same people, those close friends I have at the time. Most of the people who I talk to that know I'm gay from my high school were told by other people, rather than me. I only told 3 (should be 4, but he was in denial and didn't believe me even after I directly said "I'm gay") people, and I'm gonna have see how comfortable I feel with telling people in college... And yeah, as time goes on I thought it wouldn't matter so much.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

This thread is amazing. I'm a gay diamond SC2 terran, and I've been competitively gaming for a really long time. I was into Magic: the Gathering for a long time, and it felt like everyone around me was a super straight male, so I'm glad to see that there's so many young dorky gay guys to hang out with.

I came out when I was 17, and I'm 21 now, but I knew I liked boys even when I was littler. I think the defining moment was when I took a girl to prom... and lets just say that things didn't work out before, during, or after prom. In college I'm openly gay and openly a huge SC2 fan, but I find that there are very few people out there that are both openly gay and openly nerdy, haha.

I have a ton of hope for the future of dorky gay guys now! yay! ^^

Cool thread, it was an interesting read for someone like myself, being in the process of - uh - 'finding' ones self. Its a bit odd for me, because I actually have never met an openly gay person, and while not entirely sure where its going right now I don't think I've ever been happier really. Heading to University in September, and going to see if I can meet some people there.

On-topic of video games though - if anyone wants to play some games you can send me a message on here. I'm a high Platinum player, and I haven't been motivated to play a lot so maybe someone can push me along. I also play APB right now, shooters being my phase right now, and have a couple gold threat characters on there - so if you want to play you can also send me a message.

Also, is enjoying K-POP on occasion a gay thing or am I just bizarre?

Having a lot of gay friends (like 3/4 of my friends are either gay or bi, France rulez), I found it very interesting to read this topic, especially since they are all gamers.

The only thing I've been wondering is : which race do you play in SC2 ?
Among my gay friends, 8/9 played Protoss, and among bi friends, 4/5 played Z. All my heterosexual IRL friends play Terran.
Do you think there's a link between sexual orientation and SC2 race ? :o

I play protoss. You could be on to something Mr. Tolkien. As fellow Frenchman ToD said, protoss is the artistic race.

Hey All,

First of all, before i start i would like to apologize for my bad written english skills I am a french Canadian and my english is kinda bad ;\ But hey, i'll try !

Some of you might know me Under Teacher name (Teacher[Light], Get.Teacher, gitm.teacher, smi.teacherlife, ig.teacher) or some others on some of my other name (vtv.marine, jst-gaypride (duh! lolol), etc..)

I've been openly gay for about 6 years now (Was 16, now 23) and one of my friend told me about this thread and it catched my attention so i came to read it. Sadly, it's hard for me to read 93 pages of comments but i tried to read alot and i found it really really interesting. Some of you had really good questions and, i wrote some downs and i'll try to answer and share with you all my experience too so maybe i can help you guys answering your interogations :D

But before i start answering questions, i would like to introduce myself a little bit (Who knows, maybe some of you gonna recognize theirselves in my story!)

Ever since i was a kid (Around 7-8yrs) I've always been looking at boys. I used to date with girls and i had some girlfriends, but even when i was in a relationship (Well, "Relationship" is kinda a big word when u're 7-8-9-10 yrs old but w/e) i kept on looking at guys. I remember, in nearly every birthdays anniversary that i had, i had to kiss some of my friends.

So basically, during the Primary School, i was interested in girls, but i was pretty curious about boys (Kept on telling myself how it would be to have sex with a guy, to live in a long term relation with a guy, etc)

Then came the High School. The place where i was pretending to be someone that i was just not. I was probably one of the most "famous" guy at my school (Never really knew why but w/e) so nearly everyone at my school knew who i was and i was chilling back then with some weed smokers and i was pretty much trying to be someone that i wasnt (I was smoking mad weed back then, drinking alchool, try to get girls with who i wasnt even interesting to have smthing with, just did it so i can get some respect from my "friends") I was acting like that from my Secondary 1 to my Secondary 3 (Which is Grade 7 to Grade 9 for you american friends.) And then one night, i just had enough. Like really enough, i asked myself if i really wanted to live my life in the shadow of who i really was or if i wanted to live happy and accept myself how i was. So one day, while i was drunk on a week end, me and my friend did sexual things together and i actually..... really liked it. So i became more and more interested in boys and one day, i just decided to make my coming out (It was really funny because, i'll try to find you guys a pic on how i was looking back then) nobody was believing me. It was really hard for me to make my coming out but i did it simply because it was really too tough to keep it inside and i told myself that i would rather loose my so called "friends" and live a happy life rather than just try to be somebody i wasnt and be sad at night.

Ever since, i am overall happy in life (I sadly have some others issues that we all have to deal with, but regardeless my homosexuality, everything is fine.) And out of all my friends, i lost like 2 who stopped talking to me because of that (So i guess they just wasnt my friends at the end...) the support that i received from my friends was great and i really appreciated it.

But i have to be honest, as a gay person i have a big problem;

I have hard times showing gay people my interest in them (Or even straight people (Interest to become friend with them, nothing sexual)) Because i keep on telling myself that, them knowing that i'm gay, they will probably think i'm flirting them and it will put them in a uncomfortable situation which i wouldnt want to do to someone. So i usually just doesnt talk much to people, and i stay in my corner. I would like if someone (straight if possible) can tell me how do they feel when a gay guy talk with them and look them in their eyes (nothing sexual) how do they feel? Do you feel like you're getting flirted or?

Sometimes i guess i just paranoid but oh well.... I'm kinda insecure about that, but beside that i'm pretty happy overall!

What stranges about me is that i'm a 95% rap/hip-hop supporter (YES I HAVE MY GAY SIDE, <3 LADY GAGA & Nickel Back), and IRL i REALLY doesnt look gay (Which i guess doesnt help me when i try to find a date :S) If anyone can recommend me a tip with that too, it would be awesome!

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask! I'll try to answer anyone

But as for Mora, i saw some PRETTY good questions that u guys asked him and i thought it would be interesting to answer it too.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ironchef : Is that common for gays to be turned off by hetero porn?

- To be honest with you, i can get an erection watching straight porn but, when i go out in clubs, i never look at girls, only boys. But i am definitly not disgusted or "turned off" when i watch hetero porn. I guess it just doesnt bother me.

Shiragaku : What is your opinion on the really flamboyant gays? Do you and many other gays find that attractive or annoying?

- I know my answer gonna look strange, but keep in mind that it's only my personnal opinion but as for me, i generally doesnt like flamboyant gays beside if it's an asian guy (I LOVEEE ASIAN). I feel like asian people in general, show their emotions really well (Been living in Thailand and Laos for the last year before i came back in Canada) and i was really impressed on how they can show their emotions without being concerned of what people think when here in America, we are afraid to show our emotions because we are always afraid of what the person at our left is gonna think of us.
But if by Flamboyant u meant someone who is not scare to show his emotion, who can cry, or be sensible, i definitly admire and like that. If u talk about a guy looking like a girl and try to be a girl, definitly no.

Crimson : How do you know? What was the defining moment that made you realize you were gay?

- The defining moment was definitly me having sex with an other guy. That kinda like confirmed all my questions i had. I think it's just natural for EVERYBODY to ask theirselves once in their life about their sexuality, but some people doesnt experiment it for some reasons (Some are 100% sure of their sexuality and some arent but dont want to try these things because they are afraid of "X" thing.) But i knew it because ever since i was young, i kept on looking at boys.

Kennigit : Why do some gay guys talk with a lisp and have feminine mannerisms? Is this put on or natural?

- Because that's who they really are.

Badjas : Does it irk you when the word 'gay' is used as an insult?

- Hell no!!! I found it really funny actually and i have alot of friends with my straight friends with that. Sometimes i call them stupid faggots and they are like "wtf you are the faggot" and i am like "go suck a dick" and we just laugh about it. I know people who say these words arent serious so it's cool I never had a problem with that.

Ondik : do you prefer to be called "gay" or "homosexual"?

- Gay

: there are men who you can tell at first sight (body language, etc.) are gays, but there are also men who you'd never guess that. According to your post I guess you're the latter - I'm sure you've found yourself in position where a girl was hitting on you. How do you usually react to this? And how do girls react when they find out? Any funny story?

- The most important thing is to be humble and honest. Sure there's alot of girls that come approach me (Even in gay clubs!!!) and i always say the same thing (Well, if i'm interested in getting to know the person) "Sorry i am gay but sure i would like to know you if u want and maybe we can be friend". Being honest is the best thing to do imo. (Sadly i dont have any funny story )

Roe : Do you think sexuality can have a huge impact on your personal interests such as changing them because of the way you see your sexuality, or would those interests be in a category of unchangeable, and merely bend to how you see yourself?

- My favorite question !

I really think that yes, sexuality can have an impact on personnal interest. I've been doing boxing since i am 17 and i started MMA some months ago, and i've always been a huge fans of "mans" sports (Hockey, football, etc) and always been a huge fan of rap music (homophobia culture) and at the end of the day, sometimes i am asking myself if i have a chance to become a successfull boxer or rap artist or if i should just let it go because i'm gay (I ask myself this question often) but i think it's just about being yourself. If you are yourseld and you do the best for you and the people that surround you, good things will happen.

" I've been thinking that I might've used video games as an escape from some unconscious, suppressed personality. The WoW thing came on during high school, which is when I felt most...segregated and unlike everyone else."

- I did exactly the same thing with Starcraft and Counter-Strike! I felt rejected by the society, by my parents, and i wanted, at some point, to kill myself. And to be honest, i dont want to generalize but i think every gamers (That play alot of video games) hide some things inside of them, i really feel like we play so much sometimes to try to escape some things that happened in our lifes. But hey, keep your head up!

Tomatriedes : Who do you think is the best looking Korean progamer?

- Unlike Mora, I doesnt like hairy guys that much (Well not at all actually) and i like smaller guys than me (i am 5'10). I'm a huge asian fan (Thx for my trip there <3) So i have a huge list of korean progamer that i really like But my top 3 would be

- Backho
- Lomo
- By.Sun

But i like bunch of others too :

Suny[fOu], hyvaa ( so cute :D ), Bisu, etc etc etc

There's too many to name it tbh !

So well yes, it was that! Thanks all for reading if u went here and for those interested in getting to know me, i am open to everyone !!!!

Iccup : vtv.marine / isl2-teacher

or private message me for more infos!


I am cool with my friend being gay, although I am not 100% sure he knows that I know but my ex girlfriend probably told him. I personally couldn't care less if it looked like he was hitting on me, even if he really was. This is nothing but an open door + a compliment to me I can imagine other boys in NA would hate being treated as a person of "interest" by someone they believe is nothing but a "friend", It may be a little scary at first but I have grown to tolerate other people's differences and embrace them as much as possible. But some things appear repulsive to people with a bad mindset, other things are downright repulsive I wish I was gay so I didn't have to deal with crazy women, but hey. Nothing beats the warmth a woman can bring, and if one of my friends wants to simulate it without touching my penis than I am down.
