I am gay, and I do nOT use these boards to meet other gay men. ( though from time to time I do post my site URL in these forums. )
I don't just discuss gay topics. I am aware of a wide Variety of topics that I enjoy discussing.
Science, History, Comics, 1/18 die cast cars, Science fiction, my 4 Siamese cats, spirituality, and other things.
I've posted in many of the active topics here, not just the Legion, but the Legion is my favorite, it is the very FIRST comic book I ever read ( Almost 40 years ) and I have a deep love for the Legion.
I like Superman a lot, but am most fond of his adventures on tv --- i.e., Lois and Clark, Smallville, The New adventures of Batman & Superman. These have all been excellent.
I see nothing wrong with Gay topics here. Heterosexuals have a support system going for them all throughout their lives. Gay men do not. We live lives of quiet desperation. We are harrassed verbally, beaten up and tormented physically and emotionally just because we are what we are.
Gangs of young heterosexuals attack lone gay men.
How often do we hear about young heterosexuals being beaten by gangs of young gay men?
Zilch.
Too often, it is the fear of actually being gay, the fear of the unknown, or the fear of not being part of the group that causes these incidents.
I get bitter on THIS particular topic because I myself have been the victim of such attacks, and there is nothing flaming about me.
So, yes, any here who are weary of all the Gay topics here, please DO avoid those topics, and please DO post at topics you feel comfortable with. :)
And that's the way it is on Sunday, June 8, 2003.
