That was one of my major concerns, but I also wanted to have a bit of a chat about how people felt we are being portrayed in this example as well as overall in the media. Accidentally put this in the wrong thread though...need an admin to move it  |

| The only bit of body language that I know for sure is considered gay is that stereotypical limp wrist thing. I have no idea what would constitute a gay or straight posture or walking gait. more movement in hips/buttocks, running around on tippy-toes, shoulders always more relaxed than normal, 'pran... |

| It sounds to me like you are trying to communicate what it feels like to have the kind of depression you have, but you feel no one can hear or understand you. No, i'm trying to help people differentiate between temporary sadness and a mental illness you're born with. What I think would be helpful i... |
