I always thought Tatianna from Season 2 was good looking in and out of drag:

And [b]she[/b]'s responsible for my all-time favorite Drag Race moment:

Seriously, [b]her[/b] Britney was [i]impeccable[/i].

[quote="Lear, post: 33987007"]I can see it. So adorable. I love Manilla, one of my favourite queens from all three seasons.


Much as [b]she[/b] annoyed me, her Britney was amazing. I seriously did not expect [b]her[/b] to be able to pull off comedy.

I love how low-rent the first season was. It looked like everything was filmed with a pound of vaseline on the lens.[/QUOTE]

This is confusing me. You're talking about a guy, right?

Yeah, the majority of the drag queens on the show identify as male, as far as I'm aware. Female pronouns tend to be used for drag queens when they're in drag though. It doesn't really make a lot of sense as generally they aren't identifying as female, in that most still identify as male with drag being just a costume/performance, but it seems to be the done thing so I just go along with it.

Good. Your salt-and-pepper hair is incredibly f-in sexy.

Gay men. Cheap drinks.

Really? I've stopped going to gay bars as often because the drinks have gotten so expensive here in Philly. Seriously, 8 bucks for a well drink? Plus tip? Yeah, they can fuck right off with that...unless I'm already wasted.

Well, it is a bit confusing sometimes, but I generally follow the rule of feminine pronouns when a performer is in drag or when I'm referring to the character. Masculine pronouns when talking about the performer himself.

Okay. What do people usually talk about? Like if I approach a guy or a guy approaches me, how do I keep the conversation from dying.

The same way that you would keep a conversation going with anybody.

You can't come up with a list of things to expect, or common topics of conversation, for gay bars, any more than you can for any other type of bar. There are three gay bars near me, and they are all totally different places and attract different kinds of people.

Don't over think it- just go out and have fun!

That's the thing. I barely talk with people. Sometimes I've gone entire days without speaking a single word to anyone but myself.

You're right. I'll try. At the very least my friend will be there to keep me company.

This thread sure gets hostile often.

Nope, but that's my next step. I'm not expecting anything, but I've got to at least try. I'm jealous of those who seem to find people in real life and in person.

You play Dark Souls; you're one of life's winners. You should have no trouble finding a significant other.

Start with "It's my first time here. Its my first time in any gay bar"

Once you take a few drinks, youll find that convo goes easily

Just talk about general things like "Where are you from" and go from there. You can ask about some other spots in the city, and if the convo goes on for a bit and you get some eye contact just be all like "Yeah im looking to try to hang out more. I'm an introvert trying to open up" bla bla bla. Men like that. DO NOT SAY "I'm looking for friends/men in the area" as that is just DESPERATE and you might push them into the friend zone. Even if they're ugly, you dont want to make them FEEL Like they're in the friend zone. Just be cool. And drunk. And you'll get felt on at least once. Report back!
 
I really hope the Vita does well. I skipped jumping in to getting my own PS3 because I'm saving for the Vita goodness. The 3DS is just too 2005 for me. Cross-platform multiplayer makes my mouth water.
 
neojubei should move to the Pacific northwest to make a new start. He'd be in heaven with at least half the school I'm going to being made up of Asian guys, heh.

Do not die your hair. The constant gay man's struggle to look 20 is embarrassing.

You look amazing.

Kind of glad I'm beginning to look older, or at least closer to my actual age. Being short and looking rather young seemed to make it nearly impossible to get any respect; now that I have some scattered silvers and greys, and my face is showing the wear and tear of life, it doesn't seem as bad. On the downside, getting and staying in good physical shape is really, really difficult once you hit (almost) middle-age.
 
Ah, also happening in the Pacific northwest today:

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_...ton_Governor_It_s_Time_for_Marriage_Equality/
Sounding ready for a fight, Gov. Christine Gregoire announced today that she will press for passage of marriage equality in Washington during an upcoming special session.

"It is time," she said. "It's over time for us to ensure gay and lesbian couples have equal rights, and that means marriage in Washington State."

Washington's domestic-partnership law already grants many of the benefits that marriage would; it was often called the "everything but marriage bill" when it was being considered in 2009 and then when some tried to repeal it via Referendum 71 at the ballot box. But Gregoire repeatedly emphasized that her push for marriage isn't just about rights.

"I don't think about the legal protections of a marriage license," she said. "Instead I think about love, I think about commitment."

Marriage, she said, is "not a contract." Gregoire argued that same-sex couples want the right to stand in front of their friends and family and marry just like she had done with her husband. Research from the Third Way has shown that arguments about commitment are more persuasive with voters than those about rights and benefits — which voters don't relate to as easily.
And Gregoire's repeated refrain that "It's time" for marriage equality is perhaps coincidentally also the title of a viral video from Australia that had made the case by showing the romance and commitment of a gay couple.

Critics had already suggested that marriage equality might distract from solving the state's budget crisis in the special session, but Gregoire took offense to that suggestion, saying it's lawmakers' jobs to multitask.

"One thing I think would be reprehensible is the idea that we would say to someone, 'I'm sorry, we're are going to discriminate and deny you equality because we have a budget problem,'" she said. "That makes no sense to me. This is about our values."

Gregoire is following in the path of New York governor Andrew Cuomo who is credited with passing a marriage equality bill in his state by vocally shepherding it through the legislature.

Gregoire's chances of success aren't bad considering Democrats control both the state Senate and House. But state senator Ed Murray, who is gay, has warned in the past that some Republicans might still need to be wooed because socially conservative Democrats have a history of voting against gay rights legislation.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that Washington United for Marriage, a coalition of groups formed in early 2011, has been quietly lobbying lawmakers one by one. And in reaction ahead of her news conference, Gregoire's support was welcomed by activists as perhaps the missing piece of a successful effort.

Zach Silk, campaign manager for Washington United for Marriage, told The Seattle Times that the backing is "incredibly important" and "provides momentum for the campaign and helps us make the case to other public officials how important it is to back this piece of legislation."

Gregoire has not always supported marriage equality and described her new position as "my own journey."

An increasing number of Democratic Party leaders are openly backing marriage equality, with Maryland governor Martin O'Malley pledging in July to launch his own press, for example. Meanwhile, President Obama has said his position on the issue is still "evolving."

One of the strongest quotes from her statement that didn't make the article (but can be heard in the video through the link):

"...Some argue that the state should deny [marriage license] to same-sex couples based on the premise that marriage is for procreation. Do we then deny a license to those heterosexual couples that choose not to have children? To those who have children who are adopted? To those who have children through in vetro fertilization? Some argue that same-sex marriage weakens the institution of marriage. Is that the role of the state? If so, it has failed miserably, with a divorce rate among heterosexual couples now at about 50%. Some say the state should deny license based on religious beliefs. ... In issuing a license, the state should not involve itself in the applicant's religion. The responsibility of the state is to license only. The right of the church is to decide whom to marry and the state shall honor the religious freedom of all faiths."

Gregoire droppin' some truth bombs, yo.

I must admit, I worry about this. Being a tiny homosexual I often think people don't take me seriously/think i'm all of about 14. Especially as I'm going to be a lawyer, and most lawyers are bastards. I'll just let them underestimate me and then I'll dazzle them with my legal skills. Or kick them in the shins, whichever works.

In sort of gay related news, they've apparently cast Taylor Swift as Eponine in the Les Mis movie. I just can't even.

? what's there to explain there?

EDIT: never mind, if English isn't your first language you may not be familiar with the expression, it means "no commitment involved"

Thanks.
Kutcher's movie was even renamed in Italy as "Amici, amanti e..." which sounds like "Friends, lover and...": another bad very loose localization attempt.

Any GayGaffers watch RuPaul's Drag Race? I really want there to be a Drag Race OT for this upcoming season...

We've watched all the seasons. One of the best reality/challenge game shows. It's so tongue in cheek.

Don't get me started on Tammie Brown. SO fucking creepy. Seriously.

I loved Jujubee!
