Brian,

While I'm sure there are other gay men on this site, if not necessarily active on the forum, is it really up to you to call them out?

Are you looking from support from others like you? Just generally to find people like you? I'd hate to think you were just using this place for a hookup.

then after a ruckus, this was posted:

My response did not come out the way I intend. Brian, I'm sorry if I offended you. To my mind, this post came on the tail of "Any Gay People?" which was still active, and I was confused as to why you were posting again apparently (based on 'Why are you so Quiet????') trying to get other guys to come out and join you?

Kathy basically had it. I felt like Brian was pushing to get other gay men who might be on the site to come out when they hadn't felt comfortable to do so before, and I didn't feel that was appropriate.

Again, I am sorry if I offended you, Brian. I didn't mean to offend.

So Brian has to assume a level of vindication.  A subsequent post was made on another thread about someone wondering if they were all alone here too {i don't mean this to become a whole debate of her/his tru intent...}.

My question has been answered and I posted the thread which created a level of comfort for someone else where no one had for me.

Since my character was questioned to the "hookup" issue after so few things leading to that huge leap.....My level of offense {which has been held quiet due to fear of a huge blowout on my part} is high beyond belief....and still is today. 

why?

The quick and obvious assumption is that the gay man is looking for sex.  It's really easy for us to believe that based on what the media portrays and much of what we, ourselves, let the world to view.....but such a huge leap against one unknown person, who was pushing their 10 year anniversary (wow! monogamous at that).......wow...just proved that stereotypes live on whether the victims live up to them or not.

...OMG...hope i was coherent

 doesn't everyone love you?

umm...and, soylent????  what is it????them????

I just posted a new topic in "the Lounge"  (it needs air quotes) about the reason that today is no gym, no yoga, and more than two beers:-)

beer is good. (thanks to you, in my "only sat night" life)

dagi believes i accidentally be gan the first single in this post: 

MMMMM again.

i love it all!

there is a soul food restaurant here and i feel like i gain 5 pounds just walking in

OMG Dagi is right!

That is the first single for Sex the Mantis (or whatever it becomes)!

you all make light of my plight but now everytime I walk in the grass, I fear attack!....my bear feet and i tiptoe and peak and I bring the cat as backup.

why was he just chilling in the lawn anyway......?  shouldn't he be somehwere safer.  {i know, he was waiting for me}

I may be in for the whole crown and proclamation thing.

and listen to me Mantis Sex's new track.....

[one day i think i will actually get mileage out of the "hookup" thing but I trying to chill on that so it doesn't become a major rant]
