Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:26 pm  I know ... I am just being bad! |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:29 pm  Roflmao isn't it funny how we can bounce from, Truth or Dare, to Church, to dirtyjokes at the Improv, back here, back to church, back to improv....... we certainly are multi-taskers if anything |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:31 pm  Like I said May, I use different approaches with diffeent people to learn--the main thing for me is to learn. btw, for at least some out there, the Mr. Rogers is a slam. I found that out in chat-- |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:31 pm  Wow... okay. Here goes. Through 4 years of college, my best friend was Mike (pseudonym). He was from Arizona, and we'd spend long weekends driving from LA to Arizona to hang out with his family and just to have fun. We were each other's confidant, and his family loved me and treated me like another son. I never felt attracted to Mike other than as a friend, and definitely never made a pass at him or anything like that. My own coming-out process was at its peak during senior year, and that's when I came out to Mike. We were having dinner, and after spilling my whole coming-out story to him, he said, "Look... I don't approve of gays, but because you're my friend, I'll make an exception... Just don't go holding hands with a guy or go kissing a guy in front of me. That's too sick." Well, not only did he not make an "exception", he also avoided me for the rest of senior year. At the graduation ceremony, his family saw me and wanted to take a picture with me. His mom called him to be in the picture, and when Mike saw that I was standing with his family, he turned around and walked away. That hurt so much because I still ask myself to this day, "How can 3 1/2 years of friendship be tossed so easily into the garbage simply by prejudice?" |
Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:32 pm  Oh we are GOOD! ...just ask us! |
Himay10ns | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:35 pm  Yeah Roger, I thought that was rude! I just wanted to give you a chance to address it in here. Luke...that is such a sad story. But I can tell that you have used the adversity to your benefit. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger! |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:35 pm  Luke, that is so hurtful! You remind me of a boy we had in our high school, who experienced virtual the exact same thing (small town etc). The gay student, found it so tough when his friends dropped him and his best friend. Funny, he now has gone on to be a well known film producer and just has a film out, I'll have to dig out the name of it for you, its a short film on coming out. I'll make a point to do that. I think he is living in LA or SF rite now. |
Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:36 pm  I am so sorry that happened Luke ... I am sorry that we have such judgmental, conditional people in our lifes. |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:36 pm  Luke---frankly that sucks that such a thing could happen. As to how friendship can be tossed in the name of prejudice-----prejudice/fear must be VERY powerful for some---or maybe he needs to learn the definition of what friendship really means. Thanks for sharing---I hope it wasn't bad of me to ask. |
Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:37 pm  The good news... It's your turn |
Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:39 pm  I LOVE LUKEY!!!!! |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:39 pm  Who's turn now?? May--one thing about it as a slam--at least how those folks (and the ones that like me as well) feela bout me, it's based on the real me, so I can at least respect that from them. After all, no one is liked by everybody! |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:39 pm  Thanks guys... and it's also taught me a lot about what the ingredients are of a true, true friendship... Hmmm... who hasn't gone in a while? |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:43 pm  Let me bring Vykin back into this... Vyk-truth or dare? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:43 pm  ASk moon luke, heads up I may have to sign off for half hour or so, son may need puter. We're "negotiating" right now |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:44 pm  Hmmm... okay... but I'm not forgetting you...! Moon... truth or dare? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:45 pm  Luke!!!! Truth (NEXT TIME I'M PICKING DARE!) |
Moondance | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:45 pm  chicken!!!!!!!!!! |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:45 pm  You got time for a truth, Vykin? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:45 pm  Okay make up your mind lukester is it moon or me? |
Roger_Ramjet | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:46 pm  may--unless what you were referring to as rude was me and my "gutter humor"???? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:46 pm  I always have time for the truth. Looks like son has "retreated" |
Luke | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:47 pm  Okay Vykin... This could apply even though you're not single, but let's say that you are a single man... What is the biggest thing you'd feel the most self-conscious about when meeting women (either physically or personality-wise)... and why? |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:52 pm  Luke, OKAY THIS TIME GROUP I PROMISE SHORT SWIFT AND TO THE POINT 1. They will try come on to me too heavily. 2. They will find me intimidating Sometimes not everyone can see my wit, I realize that, but sometimes I screw up |
Vykin | Sunday, October 22, 2000 - 08:53 pm  Oh by the way Luke, you don't know if I'm single, or married |
