The Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Alliance Club

Well he blogs about what he loves, and he loves to gossip, and I'm sure he is just continually talking to people about other things. He is connected, he is friends with Lady GooGoo (I know ) and Katy "I kissed a girl" Perry, so he must enjoy what he does.... It wouldn't be a bad gig until you started getting beat up by the Black Eyed Pea's manager...

Yeah it wouldn't be that bad. But I think I'd get bored for nineteen hours a day, but I dunno. I s'pose it's better than A LOT of other jobs. And he got beat up by the Black Eyed Pea's manager!? For what? Was it a homophobic thing or something? Or did he gossip about something?

 

[gizmog0d]

Perez made a comment to the manager and the manager punched the crap out of him@!

 

[Flurried Rains]

I just read some crap off of google about it here. From what that says it seems that William was right in being mad, but I still don't think he should have "punched the crap out of him" lol. It is weird that Perez used Twitter to call for help though. :l

 

[gizmog0d]

I have one of those!!!! Haha I think Perez Hilton is just... someone with a lot of time on his hands and who dreams of changing the world without really putting in any effort.

Meh, I have a Twitter but I never use it. Not many of my friends are on there. I prefer Facebook. All of my friends are there and my photos are already there as well. I don't get why people think Twitter is any better than Facebook. :l

 

[Piplup]

I'll join?

Myspace > Facebook > Twitter. At least that's how I see it, basically all my friends have Myspace, but then some of them also have Facebook. But, Myspace I'm used to, so Facebook will just have to deal with being second. Twitter, I use it. It's more like I'm talking to myself, and they're these strange people following me. o_0

hmm.

[Piplup]

That's why you set everything to private, it's not that hard. Twitter is just your Status & Mood on Myspace, without the mood. Weird.

[Piplup]

Yeah, I don't get why Twitter is so amazing to everyone, and I never will. I've tried having a Myspace and a Facebook, Facebook just seems simpler to me and my mom wouldn't let me have a Myspace because of it's reputation lol. Although if Myspace were better I'd have one anyway.

I won't either. I don't use my Facebook much, since everyone I have on there I also have on my myspace. I just got Twitter to see what all the hype was about. It's boring. I think those people are frickin' stalkers or something to that kind.

Sorry if I got off-topic, is there a topic at hand?

Haha! I have a Myspace (stopped using it recently with all my friends transitioning to Facebook) and A Facebook AND a Twitter. I LOVE Twitter!
I don't actually have a reason why, and I'm sure no one cares what I tweet about, but it's fun. It's just like mini-blogging.

(If anyone want's to add me on any of them, feel free to PM me )

As for the current topic, I think I had a somewhat negative experience realizing/admitting to myself that I was gay. I had my first crush on a guy in grade 6 and it really shocked me, so I kind of pushed it to the back of my mind and tried to convince myself it was nothing.
By about grade 10 I'd finally accepted, but had this idea that I would somehow get by never telling my parents, and I remember just thinking I'd never be in a relationship and would never really get intimate with anyone.

I think it was mainly because of kids at school, now that I look back on it, always using 'fag' or 'poof' or 'homo' or whatever as insults. Plus my dad would always make jokes about gay people.
But...yeah. Came out to my friends, they were all amazingly supportive and cool with it.
Coming out experience with my mum was rather difficult (I think mainly because of how she found out, not because I was gay, which is a pretty funny story ) but surprisingly my dad was/is really good with the whole thing and wash especially welcoming to Ryan (my first serious relationship) and would let him stay over and junk.
So coming out turned out to be a breeze, it was the personal battle with myself that was the hard part.

I blame society
Geez, I hope that made sense. I typed in a rush.

Yeah, I used to think that I was going to hide it forever, and just deal with girls for the rest of my life. Maybe I'd have a secret relationship with a guy in college and not tell my parents about it, but that's it. But I finally realized I wouldn't be able to do that. Thank God too, I'd be absolutely miserable, as if half of me were missing. But anyway, that's cool that your dad was fine with you coming out and all. The one thing I'm afraid about is life later on. When I'm trying to get a job or something. What if the boss is homophobic? It's not like I want to be a politician, but there are homophobes EVERYWHERE. I guess I don't need to worry about it THAT much. I want to either teach, write, or do something with TV/Radio. But I don't know. :l

Yeah, I think I kind of planned on becoming asexual or something? Completely ridiculous considering when it came to almost anything else I didn't care what people thought.
I feel sorry more so for gay people from Gen X. My mum knew a guy who was married for like 20 years with 2 kids, then all of a sudden couldn't handle it and left his wife because he'd been cheating on her for however long with a man and had actually be gay his entire life.
Living that kind of life, pretending to be straight, would be absolutely horrible. And it not only has a bad effect on the person pretending, but also their family.
I hate imagining how his wife felt, the man she loves finally coming out and saying he never felt the same way, all along.

Not worth it for either party.

As for a career, I don't know what it's like in the US, but not hiring someone here because they're gay is discrimination.
In my experience employers don't really care about your sexual orientation, as long as you're qualified and a good worker, ofcourse.
There's a gay teacher at my brothers private, Catholic school, which surprised the hell out of me.
I went to a state school and there was two female teachers in a relationship who went on holiday to Adelaide to have a commitment ceremony, and when they came back we had a special senior school assembly in celebration.

Well obviously it isn't allowed because it is discrimination, but it's not like a boss is going to tell you that you didn't get the job because you are bisexual. They would probably just find all the negatives about you and tell you that that is why you didn't get the job.

 

[thebluekid]

Positives and negatives?
At first, when I realized it myself, I was kinda perfectly fine with it. Few years pass, I start coming out to a few friends, no big deal. Nothing really too bad. Then I went to things like Alternative Prom and such where I...I was me. I was the me I was, not this...Thing that I pass off as me. So I realized that the major negative of somewhat security is the pain of hiding.
As for myspace etc. I have a myspace. I tried using facebook today - I hated it. As for Twitter. Just no. I like to read only Jhonen V's (Creator of Zim) cause its a little random.

 

[Flurried Rains]

Does anyone else think summer is EXTREMELY boring so far (for those of you who are on summer vacation)? School was so much more fun for me this year. I am going to a vocational high school that focuses on journalism, digital video, photography, graphic design, etc. The only thing is that it is county wide and only myself and this REALLY annoying kid that everyone hates got into the school (from my old school), so I started out with no friends lol. But anyway, the fields and stuff really interest me, and I made a lot of friends this year (it was a big change from being a complete loser to being really popular). Now the only problem is all of my new friends live all across the county, and traveling to get to each other is really annoying, so we don't see each other as much. I'm stuck at home all day, or stuck working. Not fun. :[

 

[Imaginary Friend]

I've tried nearly all of the social networking sites, most of em I'd sign up, get bored instantly, and just forget about it. I don't really understand the hype and innovation behind Twitter, it seems so...pointless.

The same deal with Facebook, it might be good, but I already had a myspace account so I forgot about that one too.

I don't even really like any of the sites, I just use them to keep in touch with people, and to put loud music on my profile so when people load up my profile it gives them a fright.

Actually, my favourite site for anything related to...socialising, on the internets is last.fm, I can talk to people, belittle other's music tastes, and other such nonsense.

 

[S-Unit]

Well, I came out when I was in Grade 11, about 5 years ago around the time I was dealing with a bout of depression. I did not really have too many problems with the morality or ethics of whether I thought homosexuality was wrong (you can thank yaoi fanfiction for that, and parents weren't an issue, my mother and grandmother were quite liberal and open-minded in that regard) but just a matter of accepting. I thought I was bi at first as a way to deal with it until I realized I greatly prefer guys. It's all been uphill from there. No serious long-term relationship yet, but a few flings and one-nighters.

I just have Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is okay, I used to be addicted to "Facecrack" but not so much anymore. I can't stand all of these "add-ons" and "quizzes" and applications. Twitter is just Facebook status updates on crack.

 

[gizmog0d]

I have myspace, facebook, and twitter. I have had myspace for... a long long time. I then got a facebook and utterly hated it, but now it's my go to social website. Then I got a twitter, and I find it quite pointless. And yes, summer has been insanely boring.
