there was a goth vs punk thread that got stupid and insulting ..

looks like its been deleted.

Speaking of gay, I usually try and make it along to Sydneys gay mardi-gras...not for a great deal more'n to look at some nice costumes and makeup (they need a gay horror fans float.. ..) and free condoms getting chucked around..) that a lot of effort has gone into, good food, people having fun in a peaceful way, a lot of exposed titties (hey, I don't care if the titty-holders are gay).
It's like a massive party...and makes me feel good to see so many people are in support of people making choices.
"Gay pride parade" is what you folks might have, but yeah, the one here's HUGE.

:D

I was gonna stop by at some point and just say 'this thread is gay.' but you did it with much more style, kudos. :)

Why thank you sir. Thats how I roll. :)

it's been done at least twice already anyway

I feel the same way in terms of gay marriage.

In terms of homosexuality and the AIDS issue, I'm just constantly fascinated how numbers and statistics are quoted in the media (which is why I wanted your source). I completely understand why there is increase in AIDS in certain gay communities; the fact of the matter is that anal sex is more susceptible to AIDS than vaginal penetration. Couple that with unprotected anal sex and your AIDS rates skyrocket unfortunately.

It's really made up cause and effect that generally drives me crazy in the press. The rates of AIDS and HIV increasing in MA following the legalizing of gay marriage doesn't necessarily show cause and effect.

Could be that with the allowance of gay marriage, there is an increase in people getting tested for STD's (you know, to get that license!) ergo, people who always had the virus are now being documented because they are stepping forward to get tested.

Or

Since marriage was legalized, more gay and lesbian people have migrated to Mass. Since HIV is more prevalent in the gay communities, the cause and effect could be that more people who have HIV are moving in as opposed to the disease actually spreading.

Just another way to look at it.

I avoided posting a reply in here because it just hit me that somebody I know
just openly admitted he was gay.
I know em not homophobic and I know em not critical of anybody who have different tendencies regarding this..but ..I was stunned...and yet I dont know why.
I never expected this friend of mine to just come right out and confess to this.
he doesn't look gay..he doesn't act gay.
So how does a man know he is gay.? or a woman at that..how does she know
she is a lesbian?

In the tenth grade I just realized that I had a crush on my friend Erin. Ever since, I've always found women more attractive than men.

That being said, I am very much happy with my boyfriend right now.

It's all in what you find attractive, I guess. :D

I just watched Chasing Amy.


Thought I'd share.
