Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
So the platonic Year
Whirls out new right and wrong,
Whirls in the old instead;
All men are dancers and their tread
Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.
A gong called subtitles.... I came to appreciate that mountains make poor receptacles for dreams.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
New thread! Hugs and cookies for everyone who wants them!
My feet are a Euro 43. That's bigger than my father's feet, and bigger than most stores have. And I have flatfeet, so I need shoes where my orthopedic insoles fit in. Buying shoes is always stressful.
Yesterday I asked my friend if she got my letter. She said yes, and that she needs time to think about the answer. I'm not sure if that's good or bad news. *shrug*You can call me Juniper. Please use gender-neutral pronouns (ze/hir (preferred) or they/them) when referring to me.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
Yay! I love that new thread smell. I'mma gonna claim this corner over here *curls up and purrs like a happy kitty*
Good news? Well, I came out to another friend yesterday. He's gay, so you could make the case that I was cheating because he's a low-risk, but it was still kinda scary. But it went well . That's one more down!
Ooh! *Peruses*
Oh, good luck, Lucy! I'm sending you the bestest wishes possible!

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
Sorry. Adhesives seem to have a mind of their own. They stick when you don't want them to, and don't when you do.
One of my new co-workers is about to have her first baby, and she's been talking to all the other mothers that sit nearby about being pregnant, and its starting to make me depressed...

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
Sometime yesterday?
I've been a US 11.5 since I was maybe thirteen, and I stopped growing at about 5'9 and a smidge (175 or 176 cm) at fourteen. But doctors estimated I'd be 6'2 or 6'3 (188 or 190 cm). Hopefully that won't happen.
Good luck finding shoes when you're done growing.
My grandfather is a US 13. I think he manages to find shoes at some of the special fancy shoes places because he needs extra support and whatnot anyway at 87 years old.Jude P.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
So, I admit I'm kind of annoyed with the whole "gay men don't get to be happy" thing in so much media. It seems like if a gay couple is going to form/stay together, they have to be lesbian. Even my webcomics seem to be getting in on it, consciously or not. Questionable Content doesn't have any major gay male characters, but Dora and Tai are on a date. El Goonish Shive is fairly queer friendly, but we've got a second lesbian couple before Justin (who was introduced well before any of the lesbian stuff) has found anyone.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
You may have something with this, Golly. Menage a 3 is another example that springs to mind. The character of Dhillon is one of the sweetest and nicest people in the strip and he's gay. He's also had to put up with an enormous amount of rubbish - his bisexual boyfriend cheating on him, being forced to do questionable things with a female co-star to forward his career and a heartbreaking case of unrequited love on the main male star of the strip.
There is hope though. Coffee's Murphy's Law strip features two gay paladins that are very much in love, despite being apart.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
That sort of thing seems way to common to me, too.
A lot of the anti-gay rhetoric I have the misfortune to hear is disproportionately aimed at gay men, too. Heck, both that picturebook noparlpf linked to, as well as the two main "theories" that it explains in passing (early childhood abuse and absent fathers) are also solely directed towards males.
It's most definitely not fair, I agree.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
This is the exact point I was making in another thread on here.
A lot of men find sapphic intercourse to be a turn on but I've always wondered whether cis-sexual (is that right?) women find two men enjoying kissy-fun-time a turn on as well.
I think this is what's wrong with folks in general. Men tend to be a lot more expressive about things that they find sexy and society tries to cater for it. Women, on the other hand, seem to be a lot more restrained about their desires, although it's something that slowly seems to be changing. It would be nice and a strong step towards equality if both genders views were equally and honestly catered for.
Another way to look at it is the classic succubus/incubus problem. When a succubus seduces a man, it's seen as being fun and very sexy. When an incubus seduces a woman, it comes across as very creepy with overtones of rape. It's curious, isn't it.

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
I haven't found cis-sexual women being turned on by gay sex as prevalent as cis-sexual men being turned on by lesbian sex. That might be why it's not so prominently featured?

And that women are a lot more objectified in society; therefore making objectifying lesbian relationships more common. (Not that gay male relationships aren't objectified a lot either.)

Re: LGBTAitP 26: No Time For Snappy Titles
Their joyous squees have been duly noted in my internal database. I also forgot about Kender's little fantasy. I think incubi need stronger representation in fantasy (both sorts ) literature. Maybe that's why succubi seemed to have developed the shape-shifting thing as a way of side stepping the issue. From the stuff I've read so far (fascinating topic btw) succubi in classical mythology could disguise themselves to an extent but never taking on a completely different gender. Another thing that crops up is that almost all encounters are heterosexual in nature. There's no gay incubi or succubi. Modern literature seems to be working on it slowly but they're still fairly few and far between.
