Oh yo! You do club down, cool! Hahaha. Yeah I was like plenty of time to catch up if you're down. Hahahaha! Gay men have robust club lives, I joked that all the lesbian clubs shut down because we were too busy sitting in bed reading books next to our u-haul wives. Idk why the hell women gotta go at it like we're cats and dogs. Gay men are a blast, and I've had a great queer life along side of them. Yooooo, but legitimately I was doing this whole Stonewall thing this one go-round and laughed cause it was the same story. You had like that one dyke to eight gay men. Would crack me up. Hahaha! Those ladies could have been chill and etched out a space for themselves cause legitimately gay men do not care if you join the party. And I've run through the gamut. You just chill, laugh and love. (God that sounds like eat, drink, love or whatever but seriously I've had a blast going through the gay scene of America =P!) Plus, if you've got a vagina you don't get roofied. So that's pretty cool.
Oh but true story I think the statistics for queer people are actually pretty interesting. Idk if you ever looked into them, and there's still a lot of speculation surrounding them. But it's really crazy how everything lines up. And if you give it a think you'll be like - damn this really reflects the scene I've seen.
Also straight women are/were(?) horny for gay men. I think it's cute. I think it's probably a lot less nowadays, but hot damn when I was out gay men were like candy to them. Hahahaha! I think because they get to hang out with guys, but have fun in a less-gender coded way. Shrugs~ Idk they were kicking folks out basically, but I mean that's so...life. Right? Cause every time you get a niche vibe going, the "normies" (some folks hate this shit and it is biased so whateverrrrrrr - you get all the spaces, give us some!) come through and change it all. I've lost a couple cities in my lifetime to that shit, and I just feel so let down by how things have changed in that way.
Ooo, since I have you here. Let's talk cruising! Cause I brought it up recently and I thought about it (also joined with the statistics things). Don't you think it's fucking bananas that people in this day and age are still living those double-lives? Like, can't we just let it go and let people just be? Is it cause they want the "best" of both worlds? I never could figure it out, but I thought maybe it's cause of something like that. Give me your two cents if you've got it. I know you came out later in life, and idk where you life so maybe you've got a different feel for the whole thing. Let me know though~

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO btw, I seen you're brown-town. Heyyyy =D~!!! I saw the POC lemmy the other day and was like IN to it! Good stuff on there. I was happy it existed and of the stuff it had. Even if there are (now) six people there =)! Whatsup my brother <3~!!! Indigie too (HI) =P~!!!
what's POC lemmy?
People of color. I saw you on there I think you said you were native but I was like HEY - HOMIE G! Hahahaha! But seriously, what they did in those camps is fucking awful and I've met a handful (and by a handful I mean a handful cause it's not like there's a "thriving native population") of people who are descendants of those boarding schools and they're fucked up to this day. It's crazy how being removed from your home and culture - then being left to "fend for yourself" after being "normalized" can lead to oodles of inter-generational trauma.
I was just saying hey cause I'm mixed on both sides but my ma's side is part-Hawaiian and they tried to crush us too. (Among others, also Japanese American and we know what happened there.)
