    Either you're lying, or you are completely deluded. The majority of people in our age group have no problem with homosexuality whatsoever. A VERY small minority are completely against it.

    Of course with the elderly the majority are against it (but not all), but then they lived the majority of their lives in a time when being gay was considered a 'sin' by the majority.

      Hey, congrats Asher

      I'm not sure why are they now a bit "closer" to you.

      Maybe because they think it was a tough step for you and you need proof of their love and support.

      Maybe they think that you being gay is a result of lack of support or some "cry out for help".

      I hope it's the first thing. But I've heard that many gay people couming out experience the last.


      Btw, Azazel, why don't you havea girl friend? You're a pretty big guy. Not very very ugly as well

        I think it's like 12+ to up to hmmm 16? 18? maybe. When teen boys hate gays, loathe boy bands and remind other teen boys about it. Oh yeah and when they are 14 they start to pretend being gay and "humping" eachother. Or that's how I remember it.


        I'm straight, but also 22 and never had a girlfriend... so unless my mom saw some of my hidden porn when I was living home or she is suspecting something.
        I think 22 and no girlfriends is more rare than being gay... well I don't know poly standarts.

          Well how would you know anyway? You're hardly independent. I bet four fifths of your mates are part of that dodgy LGB society anyhow.

            And you're more independent Bod-I-can't-have-a-well-thought-out-opinion-of-my-own-too-busy-being-the-voice-of-the-People-to-hide-my-own-bigotry-ingtons in what way exactly?
            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.

                Oh yes. Your spectacular success with women is proof enough of that....

                How does being gay make one less independent? Considering redjon's at university, he's just as independent as you are if not more so.

                  The majority of my friends are not from the lgb, considering we only meet once a week and I've only ever met a couple of people outside of it (aside from my bf).

                  Some people from my floor had never met a gay person before, but no-one is homophobic - they just asked questions about it.

                    Er, belated well done Asher-- I really should chide you for not coming out as a Bisexual, but hey, do whatever you're comfortable with.

                    • They probably were'nt surprised because of that letter I sent them.


                      I'm glad to hear they took it so well, apparently. It's too bad we live in a world where it is such a big deal, but that's the breaks.

                      Here's hoping you find someone who makes you happy, regardless of their sex.

                      Took a lot of courage on your part. You should be proud of yourself.

                        Well, it's not that simple anymore.
                        On a 1-10 gay scale now, I'm probably sitting in at around 7 rather than 5 like I was a couple years ago.

                        • I'm probably closer to a 3 myself and still consider myself Bisexual. But like I said, you're free to consider yourself what you like.

                            • 1 = likes chicks only
                              10 = likes ...guys only.


                              It was soooo tempting to make those two lines rhyme.
