LGBTAitp - Part Twelve

[turkishproverb]

*sigh* I'm tired of waiting. I'm just going to come out and say it.

This message was me.

*hugs* I first approached this thread in a similar manner. Welcome!

[Rawhide]

Behold, the perfect glomp. Stop the video at 1:30.

That-that's glorious. I feel the urge to emulate this. *leaves*

*returns* That was indeed fun. As a side (and on-topic ) note, why do you think that the LGBT crowd likes hugs and physical comfort a bit more than the non-LGBT crowd?

That said, it may just be that I'm a lover of hugs, and I hang out with LGBT people. Is this a trend that you all have noticed?

[rayne_dragon]

Do we? Maybe it would be because we don't feel as much need to maintain the kinds of facades that prevent other people from expressing their desire for such acts. Like the whole macho manly man stereotype that straight men have to endure.

We do? I hate being touched most of the time.

[golentan]

Because shish-kabobs.

Note: This is hilarious for anyone who knows my close friends.

[Blue Ghost]

Do you? We'll need more scientific data to be sure. I'm non-LGBT, and I am extremely fond of a hug from a friend. Unfortunately, I don't know how to initiate a hug, and most people aren't that eager to give a hug to a male.

[Thufir]

Unfortunately, I don't know how to initiate a hug,

Typically, it is done by opening one's arms wwhile facing the prospective huggee.

I'm always afraid they won't be willing to accept a hug though. For girls it seems to come so naturally, they just meet and they hug. I wish I could do that.

At which point the prospective huggee shies away because they suspect you're going to try to eat them....

What do you mean that doesn't happen to you?

Edit @ ^ - people are usually quite good about accepting hugs, or are at least very tactful about declining them. If someone declines, don't take it personally, they may just not feel like being all touchy-feely at that moment.

Have you ever typed *hug* anywhere near HalfTangible? He flips out and goes on about not wanting to be touched. Over the internet.

Aww, I'll hug you, Blue.

Why would they want to eat them?

It could just mean that they are bad about being touched.

[Serpentine]

Uh... I thought Kyuubi was already "out" in this regard?

Nope. Don't recall ever bringing this up, and none of my LGBTAitp friends on AIM seem to have known either.

[Serpentine]

Buuuut... Maybe I just didn't read it right, but you've been biologically-male-female-persona/preferred for, like, ever


Going back a bunch of conversations, Yet Another Fantasy Comic has some queer mentions. Nothing major or anything, just an Evil Bisexual (like, really evil. And most people with bisexual tendencies tend to be the promiscuous varieties) and a reasonably well-done homosexual relationship or two, but it's there.

[Mystic Muse]

I don't recall that either. Maybe I'm just crazy?

[Serpentine]

Ionno. Pretty anticlimactic revelation for me, anyway

[CrimsonAngel]

Hi, Kyuubi.

Guy I mentioned before? He's dating some girl I've never heard of.

[Heliomance]

I should really get round to looking into finding out about seeing a gender therapist one of these days...

[Danne]

{Scrub the post, scrub the quote}

"...private schools [can] expel gay students simply for being gay..."

"...the right of a private school to sack a teacher for becoming a single mother..."

What is this I don't even...

My reaction exactly.

What? You're forgetting the ritualistic bowing and the dance of asking for permission to hug!

Uh... I thought Kyuubi was already "out" in this regard?

...Come to think of it, me too. How odd.

{Scrub the post, scrub the quote}

What took 'em?

The solution to that problem is obviously a TF gun! Then no awkwardness could stop our hugs!!

What? Just hug people and ignore the weird looks? Blasphemy!

[golentan]

Hugs for everyone forever! I'm not letting myself be sad, nosirree!

Also, SHAME australia. SHAME.

[Serpentine]

*sniffle*
But hey! We did just recently [political stuff relating to the party mentioned in that article that I can't actually discuss here], so that's something, right?!

[Lioness]

Kyuubi: HUGS!

And I'm sort of with Serp...I've always imagined you as female.

[Lix Lorn]

I didn't have a clue...
Anyone having trouble getting enough hugs? Go to an anime convention. There are dozens of cute guys and hundreds of cute girls with free hug signs!
Also a Lix if you're at the right one. xD

Ouch. Well, I'm sure Australia will be fixing this soon?

[Murdim]

I was skimming through the previous LGBTitp thread for some unrelated reason, and I just found this :

wait, you aren't a girl? no, offense. That's just the impression I got.

I find it funny that nearly the same thing is happening to Kyuubi herself now, with people surprised to learn that she wasn't out yet

Anyway, I must say that I've always thought of you as some kind of gender-variant. Must have been the lack of gender icon.

I don't have a gender icon either...


Sooo, anyway. I wonder if there's a kind of denominator for people who don't fit either gender?

Not at all related to the plans for robot moon-citizens that I most certainly does not have. >.>
