A guy decides that maybe he'd like to have a pet and goes to a pet shop.

After looking around he spots a parrot sitting on a little perch; it doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says out loud, "Geez, I wonder what happened to this parrot?"

"I was born this way," says the parrot. "I'm a defective parrot."

"Ha, ha," the guy laughs. "It sounded like this parrot actually understood what I said and answered me."

"I understand every word," says the parrot. "I am a highly intelligent and thoroughly educated bird."

"Yeah?" the guy asks. "Then answer this: how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?"

"Well," the parrot says, "this is a little embarrassing, but since you asked, I will tell you. I wrap my little parrot penis around this wooden bar, kind of like a little hook. You can't see it because of my feathers."

"Wow," says the guy, "you really can understand and answer; can't you?"

"Of course. I speak both Spanish and English. I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any subject: politics, religion, sports, physics, philosophy. And I am especially good at ornithology. You should buy me; I am a great companion."

The guy looks at the $200.00 price tag. He says. "I can't afford that."

"Pssst," the parrot hisses, motioning the guy over with one wing. "Nobody wants me because I don't have any feet. You can get me for $20.00; just make an offer."

The guy offers twenty dollars and walks out with the parrot. Weeks go by and the parrot is sensational. He's funny; he's interesting; he's a great pal, he understands everything, sympathizes, and gives good advice. The guy is delighted.

One day the guy comes home from work and the parrot says, "Pssst," and motions him over with one wing. The guy goes up close to the cage. "I don't know if I should tell you this or not," says the parrot, "but it's about your lover and the mailman."

"What?" asks the guy.

"Well," the parrot says, "when the mailman came to the door today, your lover greeted him in a pair of briefs that showed everything and kissed him on the mouth."

"What happened then?" asks the guy.

"Then the mailman came into the house and put his hand on your lovers crotch and began petting him all over," reports the parrot.

"My God!" the guy says. "Then what?"

"Then he pulled down the briefs, got down on his knees and began to lick him, starting with his chest, slowly going down and down." The parrot pauses for a long time...

"What happened? What happened?" says the frantic guy.

"That's what pisses me off. I don't know." said the parrott. "I got a hard-on, and fell off my ****ing perch."

So I was in a taxi on Friday going into town to meet a friend. Was chatting away to the taxi driver - talking mostly about our shared interest in foreign travel. It was a really good chat - lots of interesting stories from both sides.

Then I mentioned that my first long-distance foreign trip was to Saudi Arabia (my Dad was working there at the time). "Oh - that must have been interesting - what was it like to have to wear the burqua?".

Damn. What do I do now? Come out to him, or make up a story about wearing the veil? :rolleyes:

(I did the latter :pac:).

Oh - the perils of being trans!

deirdre_dub

Another example of the perils of being trans.

This M2F trans woman got married as a male, had a few children, then transitioned. Transition went well - partly because of her small frame. Anyhoo, post-transition, she was with some of her girlfriends, and they were talking about children. The subject of children becoming taller than their parents came up. The trans woman said "yes - my children are now taller than me".

"Oh - I see - and, uh, how tall is their father?".

"Umm - eh - he's about as tall as I am!"

I've only come out to one friend - I told him while intoxicated at my debs about a month ago!

About 2 weeks later, we were in Penneys, and I was looking for a pair of jeans. There was a large sign with a list of about 8 jean styles, and we both decided that the nicest ones were 'bootleg' and 'worker's cut'.

He then picks out a nice pair of jeans, calls me over and shows them to me. As I was walking over he says accidentally: "Never mind, they're straight." He realised immediately what he said and we both burst out laughing

MIT Students Turn Coming Out into Online Game
By Lucas Grindley


The path toward coming out and winning acceptance can be so harrowing that it's become a video game.

"A Closed World," a role-playing game from an MIT lab called GAMBIT, puts gamers through the process of talking down your hot-headed brother, or dealing with internal struggle. Your only weapons are Logic, Passion, and Ethics. Sometimes you need a deep breath, or have to walk away from a fight.

"He's suffering under your unbearable pressure!" says your character while using logic against the judgmental parents of your sweetheart.

In response, they claim you are "inferior," which causes you to lose some "composure" from your status bar.

When the parents shoot a "stony glare" your way, it's time to call upon an ethical argument.

"No one deserves your oppression, especially your own son," the character says, relying on deep breaths to keep composure, and eventually vanquishing the "demon."

The game comes with a statement from its team of student creators, who note that LGBT content is "very uncommon in games right now."

"Game designers and marketing professionals alike have cited a number of reasons for this," they write, "ranging from a perception of institutional homophobia in game culture to a genuine desire on the part of game designers to 'get it right' and create games with compelling queer content, rather than feeling that the element is merely "tacked on" in the end."

Part of the game's goal is to research the challenges that come up when writing a queer-friendly game — starting with how to deal with gender.

Try the game yourself - its actually difficult to battle the demons!

Ah, so this is the gay agenda!

akaspike

I’m not sure if i mentioned here that when my brother got married he mentioned in his speech that he owed alot to our mother from bringing him up straight (cue the laughter and some of the bridesmaids looking at each other while one explains why half the guest are laughing) I’ve only watched the wedding video once.
The other night i was out for a New Years Eve party and we were talking about my aunts up and coming 50th party. Suddenly she starts laughing and says to my sister what song are you going to sing at my 50th. Questioning this, they recalled the night of her 40th, where my sister had started to sing a song with the opening lines this is for my brother akaspike and then proceeded to sing Madonna’s Like a Virgin. Thats Family for ya.

In each case i can see where they went horribly wrong with their wording.
But in fairness I was a big Madonna fan back in the day.

EGAR

I am straight and went to the pub with a friend of mine who is very openly lesbian. We had a great time and since this is very very rural Ireland and I rarely go to the pub we did cause some stir.

Next day my OH came home from the local shop and was doubled over with laughter, one of the older guys who were in the pub the night before took him aside in the shop and whispered:

*Does *egar* know that XYZ is one of THEM??*

OH: *One of what?*

Man: *You know, one of them Lebanese!*

I was peeing myself laughing when he told me.

I've recently come out to a lot of my closest friends, and it's been so great so far. The first time I told anyone (and I was telling myself as much as anyone else, in fairness!), I was in floods of tears and letting 8 years' worth of pent up secrets and emotion come flooding out. I told my best friend that night, and he's been the rock for me ever since. Ever since then, it's been plain sailing. I've been happy telling people, but some of the reactions (while all positive) have been priceless...

-Told one of my best friends (a girl) and she was so nervous, because I was being so quiet and serious before I told her (usually I'm very talkative and never take anything serious). So I took a deep breath and said to her that I was fairly sure that I'm gay. She sat back and sighed in relief and started to cry and hugged me. "Oh my God, Daz! I thought you were dying! I thought you were going to tell me you had cancer or something! Oh my God...... I HAVE A BOY I CAN GO SHOPPING WITH NOW!!!" Dear, oh dear...:o:P

-Told another one of my best friends, and his reaction was thus: "Really? Ah well, that's cool... Wanna watch a film?" I was expecting something a bit more shocked than that...

-Another best friend of mine, really like a brother to me, I only told last night. I'd been put off telling him, as he always acted a bit 'homophobic' and had said to me in the past he'd be creeped out if one of his friends told him that they were gay...:( So I was more than a little nervous, but at the same time I owed it to him and to myself to be honest with him. So I told him last night... and he was so happy for me. He hugged me and even kissed me on the forehead telling me how happy he was. We were going into his house to watch a film afterwards, and I noticed he had stopped at his front door. I looked over and he was crying!!! I asked him what was wrong: "I'm just so happy for you!!!" Aw, bless!!! That nearly made me cry, that one!

-The banter and the gentle teasing has increased a lot... "No wonder you love football so much... all them men in shorts"... "No wonder you love the GAA so much, you big Gaelicer/gay-licker, ya!"...

-Conversation with my best friend (light-hearted, teasing each other)
Him: "You can say nothing! Sure you love the cock!"
Me: "Well, I can hardly fukken deny that, now can I?!?!"

I'm not being anti-effeminate-gays here, but I was always curious...you know that distinctive 'gay' accent that effeminate guys have? Did they always speak like that or when they came out/realised they were gay did they start speaking like that?

Not trying to be offensive or anything as I have no problem with 'stereotypical' gays, I just think the whole accent thing is interesting!

Here's an experiment. Record an effeminate gay guy talking. Put it on your computer. Use sound editing software to heighten the pitch. It'll sound exactly like a girl's voice.

Now here's what I think. Many (not all) gay guys are uncomfortable with having other guys as friends (platonic friends). Being gay I can totally understand how it's hard to hang around guys and not begin to think about sex, cue awkwardness. So instead they hang around and socialise with girls, probably from a young age, possibly from puberty onward.

They then begin to "copy" (inadvertently) the girls' actions, including voice and general mannerism. You're not born with mannerisms and accents, these things grow on you.

Now for the gay guys who didn't have such a feminine influence in their lives (say they were involved in sports from a younger age or went to all boys schools, etc.), they'd generally develop much of the same masculine mannerism as other straight guys.

That's my theory anyway. For me, I think my masculinity mainly centers around being around guys most my life because I was so caught up on being a closet case - still am to an extent. It's grown on me though. I'm not interested in "feminine" things. I don't think I'd ever develop a gay "accent".

Pfft, try looking as butch as I do and explaining to people how you know NOTHING about cars (I am the girl asking "oh you got a new car? Cool, what colour is it?"), I despise most sports (although I was very sporty when I was younger), and that I'm actually banned from using any kind of power tools or doing even the tiniest bit of DIY. :cool:

Children have lisps because of a physiological disorder. More often, lisps are used by children to get attention if they're unhappy or can result from a trauma. This can develop into adulthood. There is no research that shows a link between lisping and sexuality. What you're referring to could be an example of code-switching (see below).

I studied linguistics, but if you were that interested, all this information could be found on Google, which is more helpful than sweeping statements.

No flame war and, to be honest, I can't figure out if this comment is a joke since it's in a light-hearted thread. Anyway, your theory is based on unfounded, clichéd assumptions. But there has been linguistic research carried out into this that you might find interesting. There are much better academic articles out there, but they're not available online without subscription.

I'm always suspicious of gay guys who are so keen to assert that they are "masculine" and state how much they hate effeminate/camp guys. The traits we hate in others are most often what we fear people see when they look at us. It's a bit tragic, really, and much more of a turn off than a lisp.

Not true imo. I'm not attracted to effeminate men in the same way that I'm only attracted to Caucasian or Hispanic men. Doesn't make me homophobic, doesn't make me racist, certainly doesn't make me self-loathing.
Although I do agree with you to an extent, those who claim to hate 'camp' people are most likely slightly self-loathing as I doubt they're homophobic if they've accepted their sexuality enough to come out.
Just my opinion though, I'm not an expert in anything so don't come at me with scientific stuff! :P

During the summer my boyfriend and I went to the Phoenix park for a walk. We found a bench by the path that was positioned so that one would have to be pretty close to see us. So while kissing my eyes were open facing one way, and his were facing the opposite way. When a jogger/cyclist would come by every few minutes we would seperate, as neither of us are out and he has a strong fear of gay-bashing!

So, I was happily sitting there kissing to my heart's content as a man walking his dog walked towards us without us noticing. Next thing, my boyfriend gets such a shock that he pushes me so that I fall off the bench. Which leads to a strange look, and fits of laughter by both of us
