Haha! I'm sure they were...I usually buy drinks for my friends if I am able to do it...I'm only 22 so I still like to party quite a bit. But I won't do tequila ugh...lol

**maneatingtree** · 02-23-2012, 07:03 PM

btw how long have you known you were gay? my friends all say they always were but they used to look at girls stuff back in 8th grade and all

**Buubuuftw** · 02-23-2012, 07:09 PM

Great job saool, must feel amazing coming out! Since you did, I might as well too! I'm actually bi myself. I'm not one of those obvious ones though, I'm the kind people would never expect (unless people saw my internet history lol =P). Besides, if I was straight, I wouldn't care if anyone was gay or something. So congrats on getting it of your chest.

Brohoof?

Did anyone else realize there was a thread made "gay and proud!" Exactly 1 year ago? O.o

**adidaman** · 02-23-2012, 07:38 PM

As I was walking down the street earlier, I noticed a group of kids. As I was walking, I overheard one of them yell "Hey ****** (intentionally asterisked)". Now I personally, am straight. However, I have many gay cousins and quite a few gay friends, so I felt I needed to say something to the kid. I walked up to him, looked him straight in the face, and said in all seriousness: "How would you feel if I came up out of nowhere, and called you whitey because of the color of your skin?". He had absolutely no response to this, and just kept on walking with his group of friends. A few days later, I saw two of the kids at a soccer game while picking my brother up, one being the kid who I had the altercation with. His friend muttered something along the lines of "you're gay" in order to insult his friend over whatever they were fighting about. This is where I was shocked; the kid just stares at him, and says straight-up- "don't use that as an insult". It was a happy day for me when I realized I had opened up someone's eyes about a very controversial issue.

So yeah, that's my story.

(and btw, I'm back)

I do not believe your tale sir. No white person would care one bit if someone called them a whitey.

Sadly, there's no possible way in the world I can efficiently prove this story to you. Cross my heart and hope to die?

**saool** · 02-23-2012, 07:56 PM

Haha typical response is I've always known, but I too did date at least one girl lol, and yay I'm glad of all the support from the community shows major respect and maturity from most if not all of you. And I'm glad to see that there are more of us (the LGBT comunity) that are a part of this wonderful game.

Edit: by more of us I mean that I'm glad there are some out there lol

So, when you go to buy a new bathing utensil... I am guessing you buy the grainy and rock solid loofah?

Myself, I opt for the silky smooth and soft artificial sponge things.

Mr Ryder this is true. It's all about having a good time. Friendship is friendship regardless of orientation

. Thanks for your support.

Congrats to all who came out here, I agree that you should never be made to feel second rate or victimized in any way. Saool, I haven't met you much in game lately, and it makes me sad :'(. Because I've always been impressed by your generosity, sense of humor, and the way you take care of your friends. I'm proud to have you as one, and you never unfriended me, even when I acted like a turd :/

I hope a day will come when you mention being gay in a room full of strangers, and the comment passes as simply being part of the conversation. No glares, no one moves to the other side of the room, it's like you just mentioned that your wife has blond hair lol. The changes in the military, and the slow but steadily growing acceptance of gay marriage gives me hope! Not just for you, but for the human race; the less we hate and judge and the more we love and accept each other, the more highly evolved I believe we are

Btw I wasn't the one who said "be nice and have fun.". I was quoting the game lol

I am sure he doesn't want a relationship with you. You'll be fine. You should worry about the mission not someone coming out on a forum about a video game.
