So what's the big bloody deal? As long as it makes them happy it ain't gonna bother me or make me "ill" for that matter. The world is what you make of it buddy and if you're gonna let a stupid issue like this bother you then I pity you. |
hahahahahah that was the most drunkin post ive ever posted in all my years of ta...rofl theres no way im editing that lol..it made no sense HAHAHAHAHA!!! fuck i love beer
What is all this BS... why do the hetero TA's care if the gay TA's want to form their own hangout group? I'm really not into Pride or anything, but don't try to cut someone up for looking for people with something in common - are you going to start complaining about Asians that hang out with other Asians? Polish people that hang out with other Poles? Black or brown people that stick together?
Give it a break... some people's posts in this thread make chris's motivation quite clear.
i dont care..ill join that group
diginut makes a hell of a good point..
shutup and join their team then...
this is a joke plz nobody take any offense to it...ppl are used to my twisted sense of humour others are not used to it....just a reminder
FINE!!! i will

chris is simply trying to gather a group of ppl that are gay/gay positive. if you belonged to a group that wasn't privy to widespread acceptance you would probabaly do the same. I also think it's terribly innapropriate for those that are not gay to make sweeping claims about the 'acceptingness' of TA or society in general. He's not trying to segragate gay from stright so much as gay postive from other. I personally would rather be around ppl that are willing to accept me, rather than not- and i think that's normal.
on a side note, chrismack is such a sweetheart! I feel really lucky that i got to know him! I don't want to get all mushy and embarrass him by extolling his virtues on a public messageboard...but really, i fantastic invidual!

Wow!
Ya go away for a day and look what happens!!!
Just wanted to comment on a couple of things said so far...
Yes, I'm gay. No, I'm not without a sense of humour. And I'm not defintiely not a politcally correct kinda guy...
In my post, I didn't say I was looking to start a gay group, BTW... You'll notice I said "gay or people who are cool with the whole gay thing."
The intent was to find gay and/or gay positive TAs to hang out with sometime - people who would accept me (and my friends) for who I am without judgement, etc. I don't pretend that everyone is cool with gay people. To be honest, most of the time, I don't care how people think. But if I'm looking for friends, they pretty much gotta accept me for who I am. (and I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for making DJ Moonshine sick, LOL).
I think the fact that some people on here have strong opinions about the post does prove my point. I'm not going to reply to anyone's specific comments, but suffice it to say I find it interesting that people who aren't gay (or even gay positive) feel it necessary to even comment on the post. I mean, it's not as if this has anything to do with you... unless it is a homophobic reaction. (and before anyone gets pissed at that, imagine the response you'd get if you said "first the black people wanted us to treat them white..." and I think you get my drift.).
Ask yourself this: If you aren't interested in the "Car Stereo for Sale" post, you probably don't reply to it. Why did you feel it necessary to reply to this one.
The truth is, I have met a lot of great TAs, and have become friends with a few of them. In a lot of these cases, I met these people off my last Gay TA post, either through the message board or in person when they saw me at some event. It's been pretty cool, because these TAs fall into the "gay positive" description, and have never made my being gay an issue.
I wish it was always the case, but unfortunately it isn't. That's why I posted the message in the first place.
Peace

Hey Fir3start3r:
Your point is well taken. The ironic thing is that I am totally against the whole segregation thing myself (I very rarely go to gay bars, for example, cuz I prefer a mixed crowd). My gay friends usually get pissed that I won't do the gay thing with them more often.
It's more about meeting people ya feel comfortable around, that way you can just relax and enjoy the music... and be yourself.
Cheers
Chris

Anyhow, I'll join yer group mate; after these past couple weeks and nights out, I'm right fucking off of straight women for good!
"I'm not gay, but I'll try!"
^^^ LOL Diginut
Chris! I think you know I feel close to the same way you do about the gay "scene" here...I'd be down with meeting a few like-minded homos 
And yeah...it's not about "segregation"...or about beaking up a larger group...of course it doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, bi, whatever...cool people are cool people, regardless!
But, for me anyway, and I suspect for others, it's hard to find other gay guys/girls that like similar music, clubs, etc. especially when one is not "obviously" gay.
Think about it...I personally would rather not meet guys (or girls for that matter) that like to go to crappy gay clubs, hang out in the gaybourhood all the time, etc. if I could hang with people that would rather hit Guv't on a Saturday night than 5ive Just like str8 guys don't want to hit some cheese dance club and meet a girl who listens to Top 40 b.s...but you guys have the advantage of being able to assume that 99% of the people at a party at straight...
food for thought?
heres a question how do u people pick up other gay guys? do u guys were like a button so u know "ok this guy is gay he has the rainbow button"? is it the way a person walks talks? like i would love to know

Plus, once you start talking to someone it's not that hard to tell (unless they are "in the closet" so to speak). But eventually a person will point out people that they think are hot, or talk about past relationships or something, and well that pretty much clears up any confusion right there eh?
charmscars...that avatar is hurting my eyes
I'd bet any of you $20, you would NOT figure out I was gay from just meeting and chatting for a bit...
I actually did pick up a guy at Guv't last year (?)...whenever Ferry was here, but not recently, he was on the Gov't side (I think Luke Fair was in Kool Haus). This guy was more obviously "gay", especially since it was him and 3 girls there, lol, and he had no clue I was...we chatted for a bit about music, the club, etc., and eventually I asked him where he hung out (it was his first time at guv), and he kept avoiding the question...but I kept asking, lol...finally, and very uncomfortably, he said he was gay and named off a couple of gay bars...I said I was pretty familiar with them myself and his jaw hit the floor he was so surprised.
Yes, gay guys can be masculine, play sports, like cars, etc. etc. without being in the closet
