I don't go to Pride.
I've considered going in the past, but then I remember that it's just not my scene.
Maybe someday though...

I've gone three times in Montreal. The best part is being able to hold hands with your boyfriend walking down the street like straight couples do all the time. Other than that, the ambiance is really great but I'm not a big fan of the over-the-top floats that are frequent in the parade and bars are literally packed with people, so if you want a beer you'll wait a loooooong time.

Personally I was discussing culture. I said the word "religous" followed immediately by "or whatever" one time. Culture is highly relevant to gender and obviously gender roles. IDK I'll shut up if talking culture is too much and we'll just get back to random people coming out online. Nothing really wrong with that, I just thought relevant discussion on gendered culture was part of the thread too.
@Duchock: You kinda missed my point. The point I'm getting across is in the eyes of pretty much anyone in this thread those things and many others are wrong (to you/us). If that were happening here, everyone would be pissed. But theres a disctintion your missing. Saying something is wrong by your standards and condemning it, forcing others to hold your standard, is not the same thing. I'm not condemning their practices merely saying that its hypocritical of us to label each culture as equal when they don't meet our standards at all. They flaunt our standards (not purposefully so) and we theirs. You do not see what they do as equal, we are just pretending for PC's sake (not the smasher from Port Chester).
Its wrong by our standards and you can only judge people subjectively from your point of view. If you say every culture is equal I guarantee you don't know much about other people's cultures. From your perspective, even if you learn all about them, you'd still probably like your own better. To you, yours is better.
For every culture to be equal we'd all have to appreciate our own culture equally. Thats not the case. I don't pretend to be above judging people. Its something we all do. When you meet someone for the first time you'll subconciously acknowledge their gender, their race, their w/e etc etc. Taking all that into account with brief reflection on your own experiences with other people meeting similar criteria blah blah. Point is, you judge, I judge, we all judge.
If all you've got to judge with is your nature/nurture/experience etc than whats the point of you saying their culture is equal to yours. You don't know **** about thier culture. Its downright annoying to *******ize it and say its equal. Why not accept that we have inequalites? That certain cultures can have strengths in certain areas (weaknesses in others) and that they could value those things that take to be cultural strengths in thier society, now really does that sound so racist, or elitist?
And just to bring this post back to complete thread relevancy, lest it stray into off-topic territory, wouldn't it be fair to say there is an extremely similar predicament between men and women around the world? Obviously, men and women have different strengths (scientifically proven general strengths and weaknesses in very diverse areas). The gender divide exists because men's strengths are valued more in almost every society over those of women.
So men and women are sophisticated in wholly seperate ways. There that is where the discussion was when I came in.

it was mostly just the religious part, and im sure not th rest, if we keep it gay enough sans religion, since its such a hot topic, anything can be talked about .
so true, but i wonder if there will ever be a time where womens strenghts are valued over mens....bonuses to women on tending to live longer though.
fixed for lols

He's probably lying to either keep you away and/or seem like less of an outcast by doing that. You can't truly change your orientation that easily, it's a part of your entire being.

I'm with Desu. I think of it being fun but then I remember there will be a ton of guys (and girls) there trying way too hard to express their flaming homo side, and as I don't think it's very good morale to a pride parade to knock a b*tch out, I'll probably stay clear for a while.
I agree with this. At 13 I thought I was straight, at 14 I thought I was bi, at 16 I thought I was gay, and at 18 I started finding girls sexy now that they were more "grown up." I had one disaster of a relationship with a girl that kind of scared me to date women again though, so at the moment they're more of eyecandy to me.
i lol'd.
I beg to differ really. Interests change all of the time.
Awesome
have sex with your roommate, that'll show 'em.

ouch. Well you can play some smash(or some game) to get your mind off of that situation.
havn't been in a relationship for a while(actually never been in a real one). They seem like a bit of a drag. Oh well things change anyways.
lol good idea timbers

i heard from a trans man that their, the trans people, sexuality change all the time so i really don't think its much different for other people.(also read it in psychology) like i've figured i was gay for quite a while (12) but kept it put away and forced myslef to like girls. now that im more free with it i notice that i can fluctuate between both, still mostly on men though. and w/ men its really funny since the role i want will vary alot one day im like "hmm i think i like fems" next week im like "wheres that beefy man i want?"
although when it comes to women the more manlier ones strike my attention first. ghetto girls w/ attitude are so funny and those that can kick *** are even better. but if im in man mode bring on the princess. XD
i think im stranger that mystery meat at school lunches

I've never really found girls attractive.
They can be great friends, but I'd never like, sleep with one.

It's the same thing with me and guys. I would never sleep with a guy, but I can honestly gauge the level of attractiveness without feeling uncomfortable in the slightest.

She was banned from Xbox Live for stating she was lesbian, basically. This is another reason Xbox Live is stupid.

Yea i read that but i also read this:

I suppose it was partially her fault for having been harassed. Although whoever did so, which is quite funny seeing as they are gamers, are probably not very exposed to society, and are basement dwellers ;D
JigglyZelda003

being banned for that? microsoft fails hard this time.
basement scum or not its still wrong. it said she did have it in her profile, but still, and people are acting like there some haven where gays don't exist, they're wrong....

Great! Now I feel excluded for liking DDR! Actually, this isn't new. Hehe.
I'm in a similar position as Bitter Romantic. Well, their personally unattractive and they're attached. I'd rather not be a homewrecker, especially in my own home. Ah, zhende buhao.

I've been playing for 6 1/2 years, I'm pretty amazing. And I can think of 2 songs on DDR extreme ARC (248 songs) that uses a chipmunk effect. (Speeding up vocals) It's alot of House, Jpop, Dance, eurobeat, electronic, techno, funk, video game music, along with alot of commonly known songs done by cover artists and old school scores from famous composers remade by some of Konami's artists primarily.
