So any GayGaffers in London? Recently moved here
What should a fellow GayGaffer know about being gay (bi, actually) in London?

Also I wasn't fishing for compliments I was just being dumb I thank everyone for their kind comments. It makes me feel great and that's why I always try to go out of my way to make people feel good ya know? Like no one wants to help the "new years" people at the gym but I always ask if they need help even say hey youe losing weight! Makes people wanna come.
Listen in my opinion gay people have the strongest since of community and family ethics. Someone extremely close to me had a hard time being accepted and just being open minded and intergreated in his circle of friends and hanging out I will never ever understand hatred on someone just because of who they love.

You're a really cool guy
Also, I'd love gaining some weight (not too much). Maybe I'll join a gym after I quit my job.
Start eating Vitamin T, you know what I mean, it really works
may not work for you

That's awesome, congrats on all your progress!
The hardest part for me in the past has been staying consistent and not falling off the wagon.
Lol this is gonna sound really dumb, but sometimes, when I'm grinding in RPG's to level-up my characters, I think "I could be at the gym right now to 'level-up' my body."
Gotta use whatever mental gymnastics available to keep motivation up.Christopher is straight last I checked, ya'll. Settle your asses down.
God Lang's gonna be up there with New York as GIF-HBIC.

Just read some news related to Game of Thrones on some news site.
Apparently, Finn Jones, the actor who plays The Knight of the Rose, Loras has said that he'd wish vor his character to have more "hot gay sex" and I can fully agree on that.
(I didn't read the full article because I don't want to get the story spoiled for me.)

Oh, I know, sis. We don't need no straight thirsting in this thread, right?
I ain't got no opinion on that and Chris is free to post in here, but come on ya'll. Settle down.
Nemesis needs to stop with the Tumblr-sized AHS .gifs, AFAIAC.

So this video of Vin Diesel dancing and lip synching to Katy Perry & Beyoncé had me all confused. Well, it was to thank his fans for buying the Riddick Chronicles dvd.
Anyway, it's weird, but also cute. I used to fancy him like 12 years ago.

Whoa, the maps show that these are offered at 24Hr gyms!? I thought for sure it'd be a stand alone class. Pretty convenient.

Do it for two months the classes I listed cut out some sugars and bread and come back and post I pur money you'll look and feel soixb better
He's still amazing. He's a huge dork and doesn't care who knows (IIRC he still runs D&D sessions), which makes him really humble and admirable. I'd love to hang out with him for one day.
I really wonder how much that rumor of Paul Walker and him not getting along is true though...
Pfft, if people want to oogle they can, talk about overreaction. No one forced Christopher to post the pic. And it's not like people are being rude.
And yeah Christopher, you look hot.
I still do.
Ok I did, that video killed it for me, a little.

Lol, this Mexican skier is going to wear a mariachi-like outfit for the Winter Olympics. That's hardly the most interesting fact about him, though.
- He's a photographer
- He's a businessman
- He's a pop singer known as Andy Himalaya and Royal Disaster
- He is descended from the reigning dynasty of a former principality in what is now Germany
- He only spends a few weeks in Mexico a year
- He first skied for Mexico at a Winter Olympics at the 1984 games in Sarajevo

I'm on the other side of the world, but there's a monthly bi meetup in London. The next is on the 11th of February, at the Blue Posts Pub, 81 Newman St, London.
http://www.bisexualunderground.org/
There's also the Bi Community News. http://bicommunitynews.co.uk/
I knew you'd want it.
Your first time playing MS3? It's the pinnacle of the series and before SNK got sunk and Suckmore happened. So it's all downhill from there. Don't play MS4-7. Play 1 and X (or XX, forgetting the revision of 2) with 3.

Where is this from lol?
I just had a fucking FISTFIGHT with my father. He started saying I was a burden for him, he screamed, I told him not to scream, he got me cornered on a wall and wanted to hit me, i told him not to touch me and then he grabbed me by the neck and started punching me on my arms and breasts. All that while my mother and my 11yo brother watched. I wasn't hurt on my body as he's not very strong anymore (he was a very very strong and bulky man, luckily the 48 got into him or I'd be unconsicious or bleeding) but my heart is broken to pieces and that's not even mentioning my poor bro and my mom, they are devastated, this is something that would had never crossed my mind, he's always been a violent man inside but I thought he managed his anger relatively well going by his horrible childhood. I was wrong. After that my mother thre herself to the ground and started begging us (or him, as I was just blocking his fists) to stop. He yelled at me saying I bring shame to himself and he hopes I'm gone soon so he doesn't have to feel shame to others, because he had "all hopes put in me" and I betrayed them all.
I feel like shit.

Oh no
Did he just come at you or was there something that set him off? An argument or something? Does he know you're gay and is that why he thinks you betrayed him or whatever?I hope I don't anymoreThat's terrible and no one should have to go through that
Yes of course that was one of the reasons, the other one bing my carreer switching, but the main one is of course my homosexuality, it's what brings "shame" upon him. There was a small argument before about how they should not give me short notices about appointment and that delved into him starting saying: "but of course may the king not get mad at us for asking for his favors".Oh no
I'm stil shaking in shock, something like this is like the lowest low in my family.

I'm sorry.

I've been in similar situations, and the most helpful thing in the world that improved my life in ways I can't quantify was getting away from the poison that was living with my immediate family. The yelling, the arguing, all the stupid petty shit that I endured was all gone once I moved out for good. I still house a lot of resentment toward my father, whom I always have awkward conversations with when we happen to speak on the phone, and I love my mom a ton, but there's good reason I never go home for the holidays.
What I'm saying isn't helpful to you right this moment, and I'm sorry you're going through this. No one should be treated like that. Endure it as best you can, talk to people and vent like you are doing right now.
I'm sorry.
I was close a long time ago, he still hitted me once in awhile, he was very strict with me (things like ripping off the sheets of my school notebook if I painted some drawing badly and forcing me to start again) and not so much with my siblings, with the little one he's very caring and lovely, he had me after having problems with alcohol, we've always been very different with oppossite moods and personalities but we'd try to keep it "cordial".. Things have gone downhill since I started college as I passed from poster boy to struggling unmotivated teenager, and then it came the thing with my sexuality what killed many things in him. These last 3 years have been very tense, but I'd never, in my wildest fantasies thought of him punching me in berserk mode. Oh well.
Thank you pal, I really appreciate it. This will be my motivation to study hard and get out of my home quickly. I will show him.

So this one guy was saying how he will not date men who believe in a religion. His reasoning for that was this
You are gay right?
You are gay right?
I can relate having a really traditional colombian father. He has always been kind of ok with me but my brother has pushed him some times, and while he doesn't get physical except in rare ocasions he does response with enormous amounts of agression.
I feel they are of a really rigid mindset of centuries of conservative values, while I could never support their views I sympathize with their frustration and the basic loneliness they feel. I really whish we would have a sort of PFlag thing in our country but the few organizations that are similar try to copy way too much the US model wich is clueless about how different our societies are.
I think that if it's possible you should think about moving out, I've wanted my brother to do the same. And some family therapy shouldn't be discarded, it's unfortunately way expensive and if your dad is anything like my dad it's the last thing he would probably do.

to be fair to the guy, I don't think I could date a guy who followed a religion. (Well I could but he would have to be really REALLY hot)

I agree, it's best you find the means of moving out it's clearly not a good environment for you to be in. I wish you the best and if you need to talk about things more feel free to do so.

What about the kind who has a belief system but doesn't go to church every sunday etc.
I don't see the big deal, I dated a Jewish guy and we got along great til I ended up moving.
He was implying that due to you being gay you can't believe in a religion due to all the homophobic people using religion as a crutch.
I don't agree with that personally.
My reasoning for not dating a religious man is really simple. When looking for a partner, I would prefer it if they had the same interests and outlook on life as I do. Basically if you're not a left leaning, (borderline socialist) atheist, gaming nerd then the chances of me being interested is slim. Now if I'm looking for a hookup/friends with benefits, then he could believe Jesus, Buddha and Vishnu were the same person I don't mind. It's only when I'm searching for my future husband/baby daddy that my criteria has to be met
I don't agree with this either

Makes sense.
I feel that he wasn't coming off any better and I don't think he realizes that.
i don't think i've ever met a religious gay guy, so it's hard for me to really say what i'd do. atheism is really prevalent where i live.
if i'm looking for a long-term partner, a religious guy would not be ideal. then again, it should be judged on a person-by-person basis. it would probably only be an issue if the guy was obnoxious about it and judgemental. i have some religious close friends, so religion isn't an issue for me getting a long with someone, but i'd want a partner to share my views.

Basically my position. Ideally I'd prefer being with someone who has similar views, but I think I could deal with someone who doesn't aim to push any beliefs down my throat.
EDIT: Lol, now I'm getting "Meet Christian Singles" ads on GAF.

I've met like a handful of Christian gay guys, but it seems like atheist/agnostic is way more common. Some of them seemed interesting. I think the problem with it is the same as politics, sometimes worse depending on whichever is emphasized more by their worldview. Most of the time it's hard to have a lighthearted conversation about it because it's sort of a big deal to them, but the process of getting to know someone thrives more under a sense of ease and charm (and certainly not being criticized) than anything 'big' or 'serious' like that.
I think there's some truth to what people sometimes say about the things that are important or 'sacred' to you being your 'religion' (figuratively speaking ofc). Like say someone just loathed your favorite movie and couldn't explain why beyond it being 'terrible', you'd be immediately turned off in a really visceral way. We vary a fair deal by the particular things or opinions we place a value on, but there's a degree of consistency in which we don't really care to have that questioned.
My religion or philosophy is a pretty big deal to me, but I also think that those subjects are inherently personal. They can really only be discussed under an attitude of hospitality and striking some kind of rapport independent of your investment in your personal set of values. So you kind of have to be able to look at them in an impersonal way. And this at the same time that you reserve an internal space for those values to be extremely personal, because at their core they are. I think that can be a difficult thing to do, it requires a particular strength of conviction that is also open to 'doubt' or criticism. For me it maybe comes a little more easily in some ways because I have a substantial sense of doubt about everything, and I've explored nihilism more than most people, so I've already made that internal critic's voice something of a friend.
