    Damien should write porn me thinks ( or does he already ? )

    He directs it.
    Personally it I think the truly moronic should not be responded to (cue Damien trying to respond to me by .."not responding")

    My policy differs, I sometimes respond to morons. Sometimes I'm silent :) I dunno would I call this guy a moron though.
    as for the depressing tone, why doesn't every one tell a little funny incident hence bringing levity, indeed, gaiety to all the gay folk

    Yes, why not? Start another thread to tell us of your funny little thing.

    Meanwhile IrishAirCorps the uniform fetishist should sing this.

    :cool:

    I can only imagine how proud your family is

    Where as you, obviously, were a really valuable addition to the human gene pool, huh?

    Yes its true i dont like Faggots your a disgrace. I can only imagine how proud your family is.....Oh my son is a poo pusher.......ha ha such a disgrace.

    At least us faggots have a grasp of basic English grammar.
    Yes it's true I don't like faggots you're a disgrace. I can only imagine how proud your family is. . . "Oh my son is a poo pusher"^. . .* ha ha such a disgrace.

    * An ellipsis should consist of three spaced dots.
    ^ You know, not all gay people are men. Furthermore, not all gay men "push the poo", some have their poo pushed instead, others refrain completely.

    Thanks love!

    So, IrishAirCorps, if you're so replused by gays - what are you doing surfing the lesbian and gay forum? ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,290 ✭✭✭damien


    Am going to throw a real curveball here and actually contribute to the thread topic. Easy Polonius.

    Best thing about being gay is I've met some frankly amazing people just because of my sexuality. Certainly sexuality shouldn't be the basis of a friendship but it's one way of initially meeting someone. I've great friends that I've met in gay bars, college societies, through other gay friends, forums and even gaydar. Some of them I truely love and some I only hang around with because they give great fashion tips. :) I'd have probably not met most of these people if it wasn't for the fact I'm one of those faggots as that uniform fetishist guy calls me. So there we go, maybe for me that's the best thing about being gay.

    Id like to think it wont make a difference to me if i was gay or not but one thing that stands out that i like about been gay is theres only one in ten of us like this so im not in the minority, a wee bit different from the average person. Of course i still remember how bad off we had it years ago because of this, like the sh*t coming from the likes of IrishAirCorps :rolleyes:

    Oh I feel sorry for you. It's a shame you're like that. If only you weren't so narrow-minded, such a bigot, you wouldn't be so unaware of your ego. May peace be with you anyway.

    Why are you getting kicks from going on a forum for gay people and insulting them? That seems pretty pointless...unless you enjoy being virtually attacked because MAN are you outnumbered here....

    *Pats IAC on head* There, there. Now, put the toys back in your pram, you can't have what the other boys are playing with, your family doesn't approve of the pursuit of happiness.

    People like you make the world a happier, healthier place to be. God damn them gays with their camp antics. Well, news is you're not the only closeted gay in the village. Hating doesn't change what you hate, it changes you. K***end.

    I have never had a better night out than when taken along on gay nights out by my friends. Pink, the time UCC hosted - the best weekend I can't remember, ever.

    No, (imho) it's just focusing on the positive. Instead of going 'Oh so many people hate me why God, WHY??' it's like 'Screw them!'. :D.

    Not exactly the reply I expected but anyway. Its amazing, almost criminal to say it, but believe it or not, as tough and all as it is to be gay it can be and often is brilliant. You only get one life and being gay opens you up to a range of experiences and a unique interpretation of life that you would not get otherwise.

    Sure thing some of it is bad and can be tragic for some but a hell of a lot of straight people end up living very tragic lives too. Straight people, men in particular generally only see gay men as basically like themselves only they like men and are a bit wimpy. They don’t realise that it actually goes a good deal deeper then that and it can be pretty cool at times, that’s all. I suppose you just have to be gay yourself to get it, my list is by no means perfect and can be interpreted anyway as many of you did your best to demonstrate, but maybe what I'm describing is to big to be narrowed into a list, its almost in a way a spiritual thing, anyway that’s all, ill be quite in case I offend anyone else!

    er, loads of great things about being gay
    • got to meet some really cool mates
    • Secretly you like the Grease soundtrack, but you dont have to feel guilty about it. They almost expect it.
    • The Dragon - no bar compares on the regular drinking circuit imo: comfy couches, good music, nice design, smashing crowd.
    • If having kids isnt really your thing, it's not as big an issue as it would be with a laydee
    • You get to have sex with men. Men are better looking than women. FACT!
    • You get to be around men. Its a win win situation. I love women, I just get along better with men - men are straightforward, we dont complicate stuff (no offence!)
    • I think small gestures mean more to us... public kisses and holding hands. It's just a social reaction, I suppose. When you cant always have something, you appreciate it more.
    • As another poster says, it makes you different. It's always good to have something that sets you apart from your mates
    • Very easy to make friends... so many social outlets centered around the gay community
    • Its your birthright. Its almost like being Jewish. This is a community you were effectively born into. Shalom!
    • Etcetra Etcetera ad infinitum (I cant think of more)


    Of course there are cons too. But this is a positive thread...


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    lol funny how one 'gay hater' can turn the whole herd around from a bunch of pedantic moany bitches, to a bunch of happy-go-lucky, 'ooh being gays great', gay lifestyle patriots... ooh you silly gooses ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 879 ✭✭✭UU


    I think one of the best things about being gay isn't sex at all, finding somebody who you love with all your heart who is the same gender as you.

    As opposed to those unfortunate heterosexuals ?

    Like being Jewish except you don't have an option ? I get people's attraction to this sense of "community", I just don't believe a gay community exists. i feel what people most often are enjoying is simply relaxed friendship in a larger circle which seems difficult otherwise because of all the crappy social constraints people feel.

    I don't understand your persistence with this name-calling (I assume you are referring to me only because in previous threads it was obvious). In the first place your clever slight is mostly lost on me having more interest in his sonnets than his plays. Secondly it appears that opinion is divided on Polonius- being either a bumbling muttering fool or a rambling speaker of wisdom.

    Either ways you don't actually know me and from the little I know of you from your online "footprints" I'm a little disappointed you'd put me in a little box and label it so soon. I would of thought you'd be slow to ever do the pigeonhole/labelling thing - but then I don't know you either.

    Most surprisingly of all is that it appears we agree more often than not, so maybe its some impatience that I lack your succinctness -consequently I feel a total failure as a person. :D

    Otherwise I empathise with everything you said. Maybe 8 yrs ago I went up to Dublin and was met by regulars of the old IRC gay-ireland room. They made me feel totally welcome and at easy instantly. Brought me to the different bars, introduced me to friends, told stories about the more well known personalities, advised me which things and people to avoid. Any time after when they heard I would be in Dublin they insisted we meet for coffee/pint.
    And not only these people but in general the pubs and bars were friendly and relaxing - the infamous G surprised me with the number of people who greet you, chat in passing, even compliment you, so far removed from straight bars where you mostly like speak only to the people you went there with, or if alone the barman.

    Aside of those there were friendships that remained online that I also appreciated and might never of been outside of sharing being "gay" ;- Moridin when he was "Evil..", Ixoy as Notmyname, Man-of-Aran etc

    So i guess for me, the best thing about being gay is...the people. Oh and falling in love with David (no matter how disastrous it turned out)

    I'd imagine a lot prouder than having a bigioted, intolerant, narrow minded ape.

    Sorry to nitpick here but last time I looked the term "gay" included lesbians- or is that gone out of fassion again?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 879 ✭✭✭UU

    Oh my gosh, did I forget to say that heterosexuals "fall in love with their OWN GENDER" too? :eek: And I thought heterosexuals are attracted to the opposite gender? - As in man falls in love with woman.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,964 ✭✭✭Hmm_Messiah


    what I was refering to was
    finding somebody who you love with all your heart

    I didn't realise you actually meant the best thigng was falling in love with some one of your own gender; how exactly is that better or any different that falling in love with some one of the other sex ??

    What a quirky notion to hold.

    I guess then best thing for us A.T.M.s is falling in love with some one regardless of their gender.


    When in school a good thing about being gay was not having to play sports :rolleyes:

    What? Unless you're being sarcastic/ironic, I'm really confused...

    You don't have much of an option about being Jewish either, it's more than just a religion you know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 235 ✭✭antSionnach

    Well erm.. yes, actually!

    Like being Jewish except you don't have an option ?

    Jews dont have an option. You cant leave, its in the rules:)
    Same here. Nobody ever leaves! <evil smile>
