LGBT+ [OT] Started as a bottom now we here
Anyone living in Texas? How is it living there? I think I'll have to move there by summer... I love the DMV area, there's just so many things, DC and just about any city in Maryland is super LGBT friendly. You can walk around in hands with your significant other and no one even notices... it's awesome. Not sure how Texas compares. Especially the big cities (Austin, Dallas, Houston). All I know is that Texas is a red state and that is somewhat intimidating tbh... I:
LGBT+ [OT] Bottoms up!
See, its s double entendre because of the drinking and...oh nevermind.

Houston and Austin are socially liberal. Austin is especially considered one of the most socially progressive areas in the US.

I've got a friend in Texas I've visited a few times. The big cities in Texas are mostly socially liberal, Dallas too. I have been to DC a couple of times and would love to go again. It's an unusual city and really beautiful.Never been in Texas, but I have been in the Mid and Southwest. Honestly no other place compares to where I currently live. I feel like DC/Maryland is a paradise... but maybe it's because I'm too used to living in one place.
Theres only two things that come from Texas...
What would those be? I haven't heard.

Bring a picnic blanket, some food (Sandy's Hamburgers nearby is EXCELLENT! Grab a shake!), bring the dog if you want.. it was usually a lovely setting.
great Louisiana food!
Speaking of Texas, I really want to get out and see SXSW someday.

Life in Austin was wonderful. We lived there from 2001 to about 2011. Very socially accepting - we felt comfortable holding hands in many places. Hoooorrrrrrrible traffic. Lots of live music. Very boring weather.. too dry and sunshiney for my tastes. College boy eye candy everywhere.
My favorite music venue was Zilker Park, for Blues on the Green - a weekly musical performance put-on during the Summer.

If you like outdoor activities, there are no shortage of parks for hiking, biking, camping, etc. The Greenbelt is wonderful for swimming.. beautiful landscape. We used to bring Jake swimming there.
Not sure about clubs.. I think I went to a bar one time for about 15 minutes in the time I was there. But there are a few decent sports bars, my favorite being this spot downtown:
Hill Country to the west was great fun. If you like motorcycling, some of the views out there are beautiful. And there's the town of Fredericksburg nearby if you like antiques.
Austin was very, very good to us. If you have to live anywhere in Texas, you'd be hard-pressed to do worse.

Thanks for the video. I think I'd be awesome to have a quote from that as the next thread title.I know a lot of people hear have seen Panti Bliss's speech earlier last year in The Abbey Theatre commenting on homophobia and oppression, but I'm not sure if this one that was given as a TedX talk in Dublin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIhsv18lrqY.
Admittedly a lot of the same topics are covered, but it seems particularly relevant given a comment Ivysaur made in the thread regarding Modern Family, and what a few others are commenting on with disliking to see 'intimacy' between LGBT individuals so thought I might as well post it given the discussion that's on going if anybody has any interest.
Afghanistan probably. A lot of middle eastern countries have sadly gotten more conservative in the later years. I'm not sure what all the reasons are, but one example is Saudi Arabia where the leaders are Wahhabi which is a very conservative movement yet are able to be in control thanks partly to the oil wealth. Saudi Arabia is quite divided because of the size and huge deserts between populated areas.Or that picture posted recently in the Pakistan thread about a middle east country (can't remember which one :/) which showed how women were actually less oppressed than now some decades ago.
Lewd. Can you even put spoiler tags in a title?LGBTQIA Thread OT6 We love pussycats

No I completely understand your emotional response and frustration to this, mister . Some of those responses are really upsetting me as well. And even worse, it's super hard for me to tell when some people are serious or joking x_XI'm not even 100% sure why I made it now. I'm so over focusing on negative aspects and being torn down all the time. Why do we always have to defend ourselves? Why is everything used as an excuse for someone to tell me to repress myself? The initial glut of responses didn't help much, and just made me feel all wound up. Bleh.
Maybe I am over sensitive about some stuff, but it's not like I enjoy feeling this way. (And usually I don't get so down about stuff like this, but today it got to me.)
There's no other city like DC, really. I'm not even from DC but it's one of the best cities out there. I am not being biased.
isnt it like the most dangerous city in the us or something

I live in Austin and it's pretty progressive, so are most subsets of Dallas, though I can't speak for Houston. Austin is a liberal city not just by Texas standards but nationwide. I definitely wouldn't live anywhere else in the state.

I still remember the thread a friend of mine made about this economics professor up at my university that is openly homophobic and said openly that gays are going to hell etc etc. and the amount of people that came into that thread and sort of played devil's advocate really broke my heart x_X
Pics like this sexy man make me feel less insecure about having big thighs myself. Thank you :')

I was walking to Nellies sports bar and a cop pulls up alongside me and asks if im okay and reminds me to hurry since it was a bad neighborhood. I only parked a couple blocks away too.
