People say I'm really masculine here, accusing me of being straight because I don't fit the stereotype lol.



used to happen to me all the time, this one gay club in particular used to always ask me if i knew what sort of place it was, that was thier way of saying erm you look straight you sure your in the right place. for years of going there like at least once a week id still get randomly asked that

Just to point out, only male-female couples can be married, but only same-sex couples can have a civil partnership. I think we should legalise civil partnerships for everyone.

I just did a quick search and got this:

http://lesbianlife.about.com/cs/wedding ... rriage.htm

It shows the massive difference between marriages and civil unions/partnerships, and how marriages have much more legal status, and are recognized much more than civil unions/partnerships.


Off the topic of marriage, I'm personally in a bout of loneliness again. I really liked this guy, and he says he's straight (darn it, lol). We do talk sometimes though, and have good conversations. He's totally cool with my orientation. Also, there are no lgbt groups in my city, absolutely none, so it's not easy to connect with anyone >_<

*raises hand*

I am...well...sorta, My Libido has never been active, and part of me wishes to have that rather primitive and life-shortening part of my body removed. But yes, I do feel more things for males, then I do for females.

As for the other comments, I despise a girl wearing makeup. If you cannot present your face to the world without wearing half your body weight in exotic compounds, then what kind of human are you?

*hugs back*

I'll get over it. I'm going to Senior year, so there are bound to be some guys I like, who might like me back. It's a big school. Here's me crossing my fingers in the hope that I do find someone soon.

On yet another note, my younger brother is aware of a past relationship I had with a guy, so it looks like I might be outed soon. He kinda hates my guts (for different, sibling rivalry reasons), but he won't use it till we get in a fight in front of my parents, I'm sure. I don't really have a problem with it, my parents are easy-going, but I still worry about it anyway.

Aw, let me get in on the *hugs*
Dan I feel for you, you seem nice. Would it not be easier just to come out to your parents by yourself?

It might be, but I don't feel ready yet. My parents will be fine with it. Perhaps my father will tell me not to pursue it because it will harm job opportunities, but it's really my brother that I worry about in the end. If I do come out he will never stop with the gay hate jokes. He feels that fa***t is not a bad word, and is constantly making fun of gay people, as well as using it as an insult. If I come out, I might end up having to beat the crap out of him to make him shut up.

Where are you from Daniel?

Firstly, tell your dad that your sexuality is not something you "pursue"... it's something you ARE. And to deny it will make you unhappy and your happiness is more important than jobs. Also, companies should actually have Equal Opportunities policies that they should utilize to ensure that people are treated the same regardless of sexual orientation etc. As for your brother, when you tell your parents just get them to tell him to shut up lol

I'm from Midwest US, in Indiana, a small city which has nothing but old fashioned people and brand new computers lol.

But I feel my father will react that way because when I wanted to get an ear pierced he got up in arms. But it's because he feels that earrings or any body piercings are primitive and show a lack of mental development, the earrings only for men, but the rest for everyone. Dunno why, but that's the way he feels about it. I actually think he'll support me when I come out, he'll just warn me not to be open about it, like a don't ask don't tell type of thing. He's lived the corporate world, so he knows what they allow and disallow. He didn't like earrings on guys because he knew from experience that if the boss finds out you even had a history of even clip-on earrings, that he won't hire you.

Who knows what'll happen in the future. It's looking rather bright, sometimes annoyingly bright, because I don't feel I deserve it. But hey, what can you do, ya know? Whatever will be, will be.

A lot of NT tend to strongly believe in irrationtal ideas. It helps them cope with the fact they actually don't understand why a rule is, but if they can believe in it strongly that's good enough for them.
