One of them found out how hard it hit me when they made it clear that the girl talk from me made them uncomfortable and I guess it got around. So I guess they've accepted it.

You have to realize that you don't necessarily have to make girl talk just because you're gay. You don't have to be effiminate and flamboyant. I realize there's a tendency towards that when you first come out, because that's what our 'gay role models' on TV show us. For that reason, most people who come out are initially very flamboyant (god knows I was) but eventually find their own personality. I'm just saying that you shouldn't try to fit in to what people expect you to be.

Oh, and be careful since you're new. THere's going to be a lot of wild stuff available to you now, and you should... moderate yourself. And always always always use a condom, don't go for any lines like, "I can't keep it up with a condom..." It's not worth dying for.

Congradulations. :)

That's a very thoughtful and substantial post.

Fortunately, my desire for girltalk isn't based on T.V. 'rolemodels'.
I've just always wanted it. Also, I'm not talking about being flamboyant or feminine. I don't think that I am.
I'm just talking about sitting around watching TV and seeing a hotty and commenting on it just like they do. I'm NOT talking about wearing a fuscia open collar shirt and talking with a lisp.

Oh, and be careful since you're new

Let me be perfectly clear here. I'm not new. I have been gay for a long time, just not openly to my friends and family. Big difference.

Congradulations.

Thanks!

this is how you find out who your true friends really are....

keep your head up and remember that you did a really brave
thing and if they can't accept it that's their problem.

Congrats to you for your courage! :thumbsup:

Put "Watch The Broken Hearts Club" on your things to do list. It's part of the 'required reading' for the course. ;) Newbie.

stop posting

Not so sure this was anything to be banned for... I am sure I read some other posts that were deleted by the moderator after they were posted. The funny thing is some one quoted another posters terrible post and said he was doing it so the post could not be edited. The moderator deleted that post and then banned Packmule for that little comment. I am sorry but that is just not right.


I am the person that posted under Packmule and would like to say I apoligize if what I said offended anyone on these boards.


I think the most telling point was the comment made to my post that stated what are you going to do drive over from Douglasville... Right,,,

Again I apologize if I offended anyone.

:confused:

Well, Good luck.

Maybe because the guys are shocked at the Hot girls that always hang around Out of the Closet guys, I'm sure makes a lot of them consider the change themselves :shocked:

Maybe you should have phrased it differently. I'm sorry, but I DO have a weird sense of humor, ask ANYONE!

Disregard this post...



yeas, wierd sense of humor...I can tell from your jokes....haha

I guess I'm on the bandwagon with brutuskend, I thought I was the only one laughing at that but I guess not. You can only wonder what happend in that mysical closet, maybe harry potter is sitting with his broom eating hostest treats! Or maybe that trix rabbit is making rabbit love with your stuft animals... Good times.
