    Actually, I played two years of baseball, one year of football (Not really interested - I basically put up with them both - but it's what was expected after all). I had an extensive collection of legos - to the point that I would build miniture cities for my hamster to run around in. Did I watch sports on TV? No...but neither did my Dad/Brothers.

    I did watch ALOT of Science Fiction movies/shows - right beside Dad. And I still do today.

    Concerning playing house, watching figure skating and playing with Barbies...Why? I never had interests in these (contrary to heterosexual beliefs).

      One hobby that I did develop as a kid is Gardening/Lanscaping. I find it rather relaxing and still do today.

      On the flip-side, by partner, John, HATES anything to do with gardening/landsacping. You should see him handle a rake - it is Hilarious!

      But giving equal time - John enjoys working on cars and tearing apart/reconstructing automotive engines....You should see me with a ratchet - it too is Hilarious!

        Congrats, Asher, on not getting into a b*tch-fest with your parents. Sounds like they'll keep their cooler heads if they do have a problem with it since their initial reaction was so mello.


        Me? Nu-uh, not gonna happen. I ain't telling my parents diddly-squat until I've moved out of the house and can support myself. I'm not taking the risk of being thrown out...Richard has made off-color remarks before, so I've no interest in putting myself in the firing line. My mom? I hate her anyway. Why should I tell her...?

            Well done Asher, it takes guts to do something like that.

            Glad it's got off to a good start, and I hope it all works out for you.

              I can't imagine anything more difficult in life (well for a male that is). Good job getting through it.

                Awwww honey I'm so proud of you! You go girl!

                The parents are always the most difficult people to tell. I never had the guts to come out to my mum (she had to confront me about it....twice). Now go get yourself a man to bring home to mama.

                Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                  There was a time when I didn't had a girlfriend almost like in 2 years. I had girls as friends and had few one nighters after nights at bars, but naturally my parents really didn't know that (I don't go see them 'Dad, I had sex last night!').. and it was slow. It's one of those slow seasons again damn it.. but anyway they were seriously thinking I'm gay. I wouldn't be lying if I say most of my male friends are good looking. So.. they were in pain .
                  I mean at some point even one of my buddies asked if I was gay and that it's ok if I was. Then he thought I was in denial because I kept saying 'no seriously I'm not gay'. Then he remembered my porn collection so he was convinced I was telling the truth.

                  Anyway back to my parents.. yeah they were wondering if I was gay, but they didn't want to say anything. I kind of enjoyed it, so I was like I couldn't see their torment.
                  So one day my mom asked if I had seen any girls lately and I said 'there's something I need to tell you' and she started crying at the same moment . Then she told that they knew it and that they don't like it, but if that's they way it is, then that's the way it is. Dad was like he was just hit with a brick on his head, didn't say anything. But I couldn't do that so I told them almost right after that I'm only kidding and that it's just slow at the moment. I'm telling you they were super relieved. But it was cool to know that if I was gay, it would be ok too.

                    The truth would be saying 'no I'm not gay.. I'm just w@nker! Serious one!'

                      You know, when my parents ask me why don't I have a girlfriend, I always tell them "Mum/dad, I have something to say to you. I am gay".

                      They leave me alone pretty fast.

                            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
