    Hi everybody,
    this might look similar to the "What makes you feel good about being gay?" thread, but it's not intended to be the same thing. ;)
    I thought since we have so many threats about the "hardships of gay life", about coming out worries and discrimination, we could start a thread to tell each other positive experiences - pozzies! - in everyday life. Positive stuff usually doesn't require immediate comfort and advice from likeminded people so it feels kinda stupid to open a new thread just to share some minor incident, but I noticed that even if I sometimes experience negative reactions there are so many friendly and nice people too. This is the place to write about them if you feel like it. :)

    Ok, so I'll start:

    - A teacher at my school is a) a really good teacher, b) a very cool person and c) openly gay. Most students like him a lot and therefore also support him when it comes to gay issues. He has recently started a project to fight homophobia at our school which is really cool.

    - A friend of mine and I phoned a few days ago. We're not very close, usually we mostly chat about school, music, hobbies etc. On the phone I mentioned something about "my girlfriend" and she just asked: "Oh you never told me about her! How long have the two of you been together? Tell me a bit about her, will you?" while I had worried she would be like "Girlfriend? Um, you mean like ... female friend?" or completely ignore it.

    - My Mum has been soo cool with my coming out, our relationship has improved so much since then. My sister is not as open about it, but she's ok with it too.

    Hey,
    Ive never had a problem coming out with anyone, Ive never gotten bad reactions, luckily. Im sure itll happen sometime though, heh.

    A friend of mine's response:
    "Oh cool, so how long have you known?"
    haha very blunt

    my moms response:
    "telling me on the way to a christmas party isnt the best time to be talking about this."
    haha

    Most people's response:
    "Yeah, very funny Dylan."
    (as in, they usually dont believe me, cuz I joke around a lot anyway)

    The response of an Italian exchange studnet I met, who couldnt speak English well, and it took me a while to convey that I was gay to her. I would point to her and say "You- BOYfriend...and me-BOYfriend too!" haha. finally she was like "OOOOH! YOU MEAN; GAY?" (and she pronounced gay with a strong italian accent). Then there was a .5 second silence "--Warum (Why, in German)???"
    I burst out laughing when she said that.

    oh! I don't have so more experiences on it, Just only a few times to talk with people in the GAY bar. But it's felt so good, no smoking, no beer. you just need to stay there and get a bottle of orange. slowly, slowly, listen these nice songs. feel so good, you can invite the people to dance that you interest. Just talk the interesting between us, about the life, the job, and everything that we like. So happy time it is! But it's just in the bar, there's a different world out of it. I must change my face to another people, a people i don't like. Nobady could understand me, A Gay couldn't be accepted by the society now, It may need in a long time. oh~~~~~~just a good tv program, "THE L WORLD",is there somebady know it, i have looked the third part. there must be many people to see it, it's famous in USA. hehe~~GOOD LUCK, BYE !

    -People at school have been pretty cool with me being gay. I came out in August, so the idea is still kind of new to some people, but mostly they've gotten used to it.

    -I was worrying that it would be really awkward with my straight guy friends, but for the most part it hasn't. A bunch of us were hanging out and I shared a funny story involving someone at school being like, "YOU'RE GAY? WHAT, NO!" and that wasn't awkward. I'm really glad about that.

    -I recently told my little brother, who was also cool about it. It was he that I was most worried about, seeing as he's in middle school.


    So basically yeah my experiences have been good thus far.

    I thought this was going to be about that weird HIV-lovers subculture they talked about on BBC3. They used to talk about going out to get "pozzed-up", apparently. I didn't see it.

    Last night I confirmed for my friend that I was gay, because I have basically said it in the past. He just said "I know," so I wasn't entirely sure he wasn't joking. I said "Seriously, I am." He just responded, "Dude, I know," and continued talking about an episode of Futurama. He barely even acknowledged that I just told him I was gay, it was just so incredibly "And your point is...?" to him. That was cool.

    Sounds like my parents. :D

    It's cool when people are cool, but I know what you mean, it can be kind of disorientating when they haven't even got the manners to act surprised.

    You don't look emo to me. The trench coat and hat are a fashion statement.

    Wow, he looks like something out of Bugsy Malone.

    But you can't see his hair so how do you know it's shit enough to be emo?

    (listening to Orchid as I type, how fucking weird is that?)
