Poor Syria
I didn't know Heresson is gay, must be hard, living in Poland.
Today, I'm less bothered, unless I watch state tv. But it must be hard for young people. But today, there's Internet, there are gay groups, gay bars, gay sites, gay papers, everything. So at least people are not alone with this.
And this is important. Gays may speak of gaydar etc, but even if it exists, it develops with time. On the start, you're completely alone, and surrounded with people with hostile attitude towards something in you that you can't change any more than you can change your rase.
But it's disgusting what our goverment does, and it must be really hard for young people in small villages/cities in the east.
I am fortunate enough to live in a city of decent size, in the West (well, centre), even though my origin is from the east.
Being gay is not a way of life. It is not what one choses. It's a kind of a burden one gets. One can pretend he doesn't have it, but it's deceiving oneself, and deceiving others.
It didn't requite great balls to travel in Muslim countries. I was robbed once, and once more with a knife (which was unpleasant, it was just 1 of the things that got ugly this day, it was one of the worst in my life). We were pelleted with stones in one place in Jordan etc. But in general, local people were nice to me, usually. Especially in Turkey. Bad things can happen everywhere.
I didn't mention that, but when I was a teenager, a guy tried to rape me. In France. In Britain, a day or so after a girl from our group was raped by some local lads, and we were told not to go out by night, I did, and a group of youngsters came with knives, and started slicing the sits of the bus. They came to me, sat, asked me if I'm a foreign student. I said yes. He said, in this specific accent, "we don't like students". And I expected trouble. But I was saved by appearance of a nice Spanish girl, which disperced their attention.
Bad things can happen everywhere.
I actually did admit to being gay sometimes to my Muslim friends. I did get the reactions of "you're rocking the throne of God Almighty" etc. I cried. But sometimes it was fine.
I tried to go the way of the middle. I didn't lie outrightly, but didn't tell full truth.
Anyway, there are gays in Muslim world too. Some were picking me up.
But in Syria, I was too shy for this.
In fact, my dear Serb, one guy who was proposing sex to me quite directly, back in Syria, claimed he's of partial Russian origin...
I remember Serb, obviously.
I remember Elok. I liked Elok.
I remember Kidicious. I don't remember if I liked him or not, but does he support Israeli occupation of West Bank? That makes frogs cry.
I remember dannubis. I think he was fine, but I'm not sure.
Hueij... I remember the name.
But please, write short summaries about yourself, so my memory returns.
