So unlike American gay pride events its funny. Its like they're going to be loud but in a respectful and quiet manner.

"Look Tachiko, here comes the next section of the parade!"

"That's right Azumi, it's the Kyoto Butt Pirates!"

Erm, is anyone else turned on by this?

Actually, I've never been to a parade myself, nor witnessed one. I've n ever really gotten into the hooplah and such. Maybe some day. Fufufu.

No, I've been in a gay pride parade though, wearing an authentic superman costume, when I was like 16. It was pissing rain that day too.

I had planned on going to watch, and help out some friends of mine with a float they were doing, but they needed some people to help hold the banner for their store and I got shanghaied into it!

Ah really? Sounds like a lot of fun then. I'd probably have been in a couple, but I have no friends to tag along with and I'm not into doing things like this on my own. If I did though, I'd probably tag along or something. I need to get on the scene and what not.

Gah that is nothing. Heavier guys can look relatively meaty without the effort.

You're too picky! I prefer any range of meat on them bones. While I agree with the comment, he's just fine for me. :p I'm starting to dislike really heavy guys myself though. I think lean and mean, or maybe 230-240lbs at the most is just fine for me. As long as they're ripped. No flab for me! I have enough on my own body. D:

He certainly [was] not ripped. Think Men's Health model or something like that--they aren't overly buff but quite good looking.

I was reading and analyzing everything in the Ann pics thinking there was a hidden joke about a gay pride parade there :(

Oh you know what I mean, I prefer ripped. But a bit of flab is fine. He's just fine for me. I can't take a gut though. That's what I don't like. Men's Health is one hot magazine though. May I ask if you have a favorite model or anything of the sort? :S

Also, did these pics come from a hacked website or what? All of a sudden we're prasing Ann and her awesome coverage on FoxNews.

Dunno. I have no real fav model. That's partly because I'm not out so I'm certainly not going to be caught staring at any hot men. Even the porn on my comp is straight but of course that's not what I spend my time looking at. :eek:

Ann Coulter's a bitch, and appears to have an adam's apple in that pic, but I wouldn't exactly call her gay. ;)

Seriously, am I the only one getting a pic of Ann Coulter for each of those links? PEACE.

Hehe, I remember when I used to do that. I had a friend who I would watch straight porn with, it wasn't so bad as long as you focus on the parts you like. ;)

What are the things that are in your way from preventing you to come out? Do you live with roomates? Parents?
Click to expand...

I live with my parents. It's not that big of a factor.. it's that I come from a culturally conservative background and I see my extended family quite often. Not only that, every so often, I become deeply religious (of course that's when I try to avoid thinking sexually at all). Seriously, I think that I'll play this until I die.

Haha, I still think his avatar is the best one out of the entire forums. Mario Lopez is hot regardless of what anyone says. Especially back in those days. It's sad how someone wanted to get his avatar taken down because it caused a problem with his relatives. Hahaha, so funny.

I don't understand you, somewhat. The family I grew up with (a lot was spent around my grandparents) were very very religious. In fact I remember them putting homosexuality very strongly during some political debate that was on recently. School was kind of the same, majority of the gets (well the ones that I noticed) were very strongly homophobic and I heard alot of freaky little comments. Though the school did I have GBLT club with plenty of support... I just didnt like the vibe of the school/city/state over the matter. Oklahoma sucks regardless.

I actually didn't officially come out to my mom until maybe what a few days ago? She asked me about some sites I had been visiting and I didn't really deny anything. She really knew already as she stumbled across my porn (always the moms!) and asked me about it. But I was a lot younger then and ocmpletely denied it. I was too freaked out over someone finding out. But anyways, she actually took it nicely and while she didn't support the idea she still loved me and what. That's all I ask for. <3 I actually came out to my friends in school a few months ago before I left after I graduated. I didn't come out to them in person. I just said I had a secret I needed to tell them, but was waiting for the right moment. Never got the chance but went ahead and told someone from school online and had them spread the word. Then got their reactions relayed back. They took it fine I guess since I didn't hear anything bad.

But eh, anyways, I can see where you're coming from and totally understand what you mean by not being able to come out. I hope you do get the courage to sometime in your life. I think it's really worth it regardless of what happens. It's like a heavy load lifted off your heart.

I'm not really afraid that they would turn on me or anything like that. It's more like.... I know that they will react and thus act differently toward me. Of course, there is still the internal conflict between religion and homsexuality, and I don't expect homosexuality will win out in the end.

Another thing was that I never really fit in as a kid, and when I ever did, it was by suppressing any gay-ness in me. You know, pretending to check out girls and such. Even at this age, I have this urge to really be accepted at least once as "one of the guys". The most recent time in which that happened ended up with the other guy sort of coming out too (27 or so and always had been hetero).


btw, anyone has a link to that scola avatar thing? I searched for it and it came up empty.
